No pain, no gain


李嘉雯

People often say that the freshman year is the most exciting year of everyone』s student career.  And in my case, it is so true.  The field of knowledge is so fantastic to explore and to learn and the various extracurricular activities as well as net surfing provide more than enough opportunities to make new friends.  Having been deprived for so long, I was determined to take full advantage of my freshman year and as a result, burning the midnight oil became a common practice for me.

One day at 5 o』clock in the morning, I dragged my exhausted body to bed without perceiving what was wrong with me.  At about 7 o』clock, I woke up with an extremely uncomfortable feeling.  A terrible pain was pounding in my head; what』s worse, my face and body showed symptoms of an allergy attack, which terrified me.  The continuous itch that came out from nowhere really drove me crazy; therefore, I asked for a whole day』s leave in order to help me slow down the pace of life.  After taking the medicine the doctor had given me, I finally felt much better.

This bad experience taught me the importance of a regular daily routine.   I had overestimated my physical condition and kept wasting my energy.  God gave me an inner clock to follow and now I think I should really be a good girl and make good use of my life.
