Variations In Monotony

The monotony of the climate makes me numb to the elapse of time.

Term 3 will soon become history in "transpiration", "atmospheric pressure", "writing a speech", "energy exchanges", "deterrence and deplomacy" and "Fascist Japan".

It rained this morning, then it was sunny again after five minutes. Here, everything is so fast and rapid changing that you do not have the chance to taste the changes. Accidentally I browsed the high school textbooks left to me by a VJC senior. That was when I began to feel fortunate about the relaxation of life here that I am enjoying. Once I complained about the stress and pressure of life here, now I cannot resist to relish this kind of relaxing lifestyle, comparing the inferno in China.

Almost everyone knows about the hectic high school life in ZZFLS, even now I begin to doubt whether or not I can adapt to the life there. Suspicion about one's ability can always engulf you when you lack self-confidence, and that is always the way to modesty. Now almost everything is repetition, although with certain kinds of modification, leading to a stagnation to the improvement of abilities. Yet meanwhile I am also sure that this kind of education really emancipates people from the life-consuming way of gaining certain abilities, which one do not know whether they will be useful in later life.

Being confined in the ivory tower may be a kind of simple happiness. At least it makes one too busy to be distracted.

Even in the ivory tower, there are variations in monotony. That is why I love my secondary school life so much!
