Chapter 78 Senior Three
In the second year of high school, we were on the same floor as several classes in the third year of high school, and sometimes we would pass by the third year when we went to the teacher's office.

In the third year of senior high school, either the teacher would drag the classroom, or the students would sleep quietly on the table. Occasionally, a few seniors and sisters would lie down in the corridor looking at the clouds over the school and the hills in the distance, and chat about the future when they were tired from studying.

At the beginning of our third year of high school, there was not much difference from the first year of high school and the second year of high school, but the content of the class changed from a textbook to a very conclusive teaching aid. We called it "big book", that is, "a round of review". main textbook.

I started to get busy in October, and one of the most obvious changes was the increase in the number of exams.

Each province should have its own unique mock exams. AH’s main ones are "Jianghuai Eight Schools Joint Examination" and "Jianghuai Ten Schools Joint Examination". Sometimes several schools cooperate to produce papers, and then conduct small-scale tests entrance exam.

In the beginning, we were nervous about the joint entrance exam, because each exam will draw the undergraduate line and the first line, and the class teacher will also summarize how many people have reached the first line, how many people have reached the undergraduate line, and how many Still need to work harder.

Habit is really a scary thing. We will gradually get used to mock exams later on, and we won't care so much about whether we have the so-called "Ben", because mock exams are "simulations" after all, and they are still different from real college entrance examination questions. If there is a certain gap, the results of the mock test are for reference only. It is really unnecessary to deny yourself because of a bad test or an abnormal performance.

Sister Qin often said in class: "Don't give up until the last moment, until the result comes out."

In addition to the large practice exams, the school also holds smaller exams - every Monday.

The papers are either photocopied "Golden Examination Papers" or the compulsory papers we ordered early on. Every Wednesday afternoon, there is no class for comprehensive examinations. Mathematics and English are placed in evening self-study tests, and Chinese is placed on Sunday afternoons—— This means that instead of going to school at [-] pm for evening self-study, we arrived at school before [-] pm, went to the cafeteria after the Chinese test, and then went to evening self-study.

If you live in the urban area on weekends, you really don’t have much time to do other things. When you get home and eat dinner, you go to do your homework, and when you’re sleepy, you lie on the bed and sleep. After a few mouthfuls of food, I lie on the bed and sleep. When I wake up, it will be noon the next day. I have a quick lunch, wash my hair and take a shower, and then take the bus back to school for the Chinese test.

The sloppy here means that I eat more casually, and it does not mean that the meal preparation is sloppy.

Every week when I come home from school, the class teacher will post in the parent group something like "The children study too hard, please parents make more delicious food for the children to nourish their bodies."

In the third year of high school, the most frequent dishes my mother made were pigeon soup, fish head soup and ribs soup.

At the end of the drink, I would frown when I heard the words "pigeon soup".

Of course, this is just my weekend, and there are many classmates who work harder than me. They signed up for one-on-one tutoring classes in their weak subjects in the third year of high school, and they have to go home after school for two hours on Saturday. There are many subjects, and there may be another class on Sunday morning.

To be honest, I really admire their energy and perseverance. I was really sleepy at the time. I got on the bus and slept directly to the terminal, and continued to sleep when I got home. I was so tired that I didn’t even pick up where I slept. and sleep".

Really, as long as you want to sleep, you will be able to sleep.

The dormitory situation in the third year of high school is different from that in the first and second year of high school.

In the "symposium" in the first and second grades of high school, we talked about everything, gossip in the class, the latest advertisement of a certain star was a bit interesting, and the funny videos and jokes I saw on Weibo on weekends, etc., etc., until the third year of high school, basically When I go to the dormitory to soak my feet and eat snacks, I may chat for a while. The content of the chat is probably what class is tomorrow, what exam is there, and how much homework is left.

When the holidays are about to come, we will talk about whether we should go to buy new teaching aids together on the weekend, or more distant topics, what majors we want to study in the future, and what jobs we want to work on.

After washing up, everyone took their desk lamps and started to write questions. Everyone had different tasks at night. Everyone was quiet and busy with their own tasks.

When encountering a very weird geography question, the answer does not conform to the brain circuit of a normal person at all, and the roommates will share it. We discuss it together for a while, or memorize the ideas of the standard answer, and then get busy again.

Sometimes I feel very tired when I go back to the dormitory. After I write some questions, go to bed and memorize words and texts, I go to bed. Those who go to bed early will lend the desk lamp to those who go to bed late, because the battery life of the desk lamp is not very strong after use, so we will communicate with each other. help each other.

There may be so-called "secret study" in other dormitories, or "I am afraid that others will know how much I have learned today", but the atmosphere in our dormitory is generally good, and everyone's level is about the same. shared.

The most emotional ups and downs are also in the third year of senior high school. After being busy for a while, I suddenly get idle for a while, or just finished a mock exam, and I really can’t read the book. Going to college, what will the future look like—I can't help thinking.

I would suddenly get depressed and say a lot of negative things. If Principal Lu heard it, he would pat me on the shoulder and say to me: "It's okay, I think you are already great, hold on!"

The commander-in-chief would also look back and keep repeating: "You will be admitted to the university, you will be admitted to the university, you will be admitted to the university..." comforting me and encouraging myself.

The teachers will also have some changes. For example, the geography questions are very flexible, and our thinking is very fixed, so the average score of the geography test has always been in the [-]s and [-]s. Such scores will have an impact on our state. The geography teacher will He has always given us psychological hints. When talking about the topic, he often said: "Look at this topic. It looks complicated at first glance. In fact, if you think about it from another angle, it is actually very simple."

Although we may not understand her point of view, at least the atmosphere of the test paper is very relaxed, we can find the confidence and motivation to do the questions, and feel "I seem to be doing it again".

Father Sheng and Sister Qin would talk about the standard answer questions from time to time when they were explaining the papers. The old teachers probably paid more attention to these. They would mercilessly use the answer format of a certain student in the class as a "negative teaching material". Then he kept emphasizing how to answer the questions in a standardized way, and what format the college entrance examination gave points.

The homework of "negative textbooks" will not be kept for too long, because there are always some students who are impressed by the wrong things, but can't remember the correct ones.

Mr. Zhengzheng Ang was amazing. He frantically compressed the political outline into eight sheets of paper, and then told us: "Don't think about other things, and don't memorize so much. This is the ultimate weapon I sorted out. If you memorize it, you Just rest assured."

I personally think that those outlines are just a little smaller in size, and the volume has not changed, but we will have a psychological effect, and feel that, with only eight sheets of paper, we will be liberated after memorizing, and our enthusiasm and enthusiasm for learning will come up.

The dormitory auntie will also become more "understanding" than before. When checking the dormitory, she will ask about the recent exams, whether you are tired from the exams, etc. Let us pay attention to rest and don't study too late.

After the third year of high school, people around me will pay more attention to my state: Lao Xu gave me all the mathematics teaching aids he bought in high school, and asked me to choose some simple topics to write about; Weiyi is sending me Lao Xue’s books When they were in high school, they put the political outline compiled by their teacher in the third year of high school. She also bought planners and other practical stationery; Cai Haha also mentioned earlier that he sent me a [-]-day countdown calendar. , I also wrote a long letter to cheer for me; I saved the number of my senior brother in the phone card of the school. When I was in a bad mood, I called her after evening study. My voice, she will make herself try to be sober, and then listen to me and give me some advice; grandpa and grandma are afraid that I will be stressed, so they will not ask me about my situation in school after the third year of high school. Every time they go to see them, they will do it The food I like to eat, I sometimes mention things in school, they just listen quietly, don’t make comments, don’t ask too many questions, at most they ask me if I’m full, if I’m not full, there’s still in the pot, if I’m sleepy Not sleepy, the bed has already been made and I can go to sleep, and before leaving, they gave me some money, told me to pay attention to safety on the road, and eat well at school...

Sometimes I feel in a trance for a moment, thinking that I am a "giant baby", and I am still being taken care of by them as an adult.

In fact, their actions really touched me at a certain moment, gave me the courage to face the reality, and made me feel so happy when I looked up at the stars at night at school one day, so happy that I wanted to cry.

All in all, the third year of high school was indeed very hard, but when I really came here and looked back, it was actually "not so much".

The third year of high school is different for everyone, and everyone will have different experiences and feelings. Don't always be afraid or anxious, because these can't change the fact that you have to face it. These are "useless efforts" .

Just keep yourself busy and let yourself live a fulfilling life. "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover", there will always be a way.

When I was tired, I looked up at my class, so many people were with me, so many people had to take the college entrance examination together, and the loneliness disappeared in an instant.
