Counting Down the Days

By Deanna W., Grade 11
你知道我们离夏天还有七个星期五吗? And that includes this week, and break. Seven Fridays. In fact, 35 Fridays have already passed. I know because I counted them. Fridays are like milestones to me. 每过一个星期五都是一种成就,因为这意味着我又度过了一周的数学课.
 
但我一直忙于担心周五,以至于有可能忘记今年发生的真正里程碑. I’m losing sight of the dances, the assemblies, 通过数学考试和通过数学考试的区别. 我一直把目光投向远方,忘记了还有宝贵的时间.
 
在很多方面,高中都关乎未来,尤其是在斯坦斯特德这样的地方. 你们来这里是为了提高英语水平,进入一所很棒的大学,为就业市场做准备. 此外,还有一些额外的课程,比如如何在停电或零下40度的天气中生存.
 
但说到底,我在斯坦斯特德已经四年了. That’s 178 Fridays, 我可以自信地说,无论你在这里待了多久, or how long you intend to stay, 接下来的七个星期五和你生命中的任何时候都不一样. 我知道一个事实,我将永远记得一个星期前,我在四月底的雪地里打了一个小时的橄榄球.
 
But even rugby in the snow I'm glad I experienced. There are so many things I am glad I experienced, that I still get to experience, and come summer, times up. That's the deadline. In seven Fridays.
 
My dad’s favourite philosopher (because of course he has a favourite philosopher...) says that “Enthusiasm is the mother of effort.” We all put effort into the spring, whether it be with sports or academics, 但温暖的天气和强烈的紫外线所带来的热情,使过去的几周最令人难忘. 不要把这七个星期五看作是隧道尽头的光. Look at them as the opportunity for excitement. After all, time flies when you're having fun.
