Chapter 115 Alia
At this time, Grandma Mia was also surprised by this question, but she quickly adjusted herself and continued:
"Yes, and the bathroom light is not allowed either!"
Then they started discussing the toilet light on the way:
"Can you see the toilet light from outside?"
"Yes, there is a small window in the toilet, which lets in light."
"Hmm, actually, it should be possible to use a flashlight to go to the toilet."
"Why go to the bathroom if you have a flashlight? You can't see outside the room."
Zhang Wei has the final say: "Yes, as long as you don't face the window, you can't see it even with a flashlight."
Looking at everyone's tacitly understood eyes, you can tell that there are no geniuses who learn easily here. They all work hard to get to the top. Of course, there are some exceptions.
"Tracy, what do you use?"
"I don't need it. I just turn off the lights and go to bed."
Zhang Wei was envious, but Alia pulled her clothes and whispered:
"Vera, do you have an extra flashlight?"
Zhang Wei only had a small desk lamp and only two sets of batteries, so there was nothing he could do.
However, she suggested that Alia could get up earlier. The school would not care if the lights were on in the morning. Besides, there was no need to turn on the lights sometimes in the morning when the light was good.
"Thank you, Vera. I knew you were a good person the first time I saw you!"
After saying that, he winked at her like he did in the restaurant before. Zhang Wei said, "I thought you didn't remember!"
Alia pursed her lips in embarrassment.
Yesterday, Grandma Mia told them who their mentors would be. Finally, there was some good news: the mentor for all twelve of them was Professor Townsley.
Yes, you heard right, Townsley, professor, she is from Cambridge.
All of Dewen’s teachers are university teachers. Professors are the basic ones. Professor Townsley herself teaches physics, but she is not Zhang Wei’s physics teacher.
She only asked Grandma Mia to tell everyone to come to her on Friday afternoon, and she didn't say anything else.
So Zhang Wei had the impression that the tutors here were probably like some university teachers, elusive and hard to find.
With a day of adaptation time yesterday, today's class was not so difficult. Physics and chemistry are still at a relatively basic stage and not very difficult.
The afternoon physical education class was football. Due to Zhang Wei's super fast reaction speed, Zhang Wei won the position of goalkeeper.
Zhang Wei was very satisfied with this. She was probably the one with the most free time on the court. Now she no longer complained about not having time to exercise.
And through football, she realized that her legs were not strong enough compared to the strength in her hands.
Then the coach asked them to practice dribbling the ball. There were really not many girls in the football game, so the coach couldn't make fast progress. It was much easier than yesterday's cricket.
After the teams were divided, basic training began, but unfortunately Alia still failed to become the captain.
Although I trained until 6:30 today, I didn’t feel tired at all and felt quite relaxed.
The first day felt like a year, the second day was acceptable, the third day was just like that, the fourth day was just so-so, and on the fifth day I was basically adapted.
So after a week of training, Zhang Wei felt that his study life in German was back on track.
She would finish part of her homework after lunch and the rest before going to bed. If she had more time, she could preview it. If she didn't have enough time, she could preview it in the morning.
In this way, her life will become more and more relaxed starting from Wednesday, because the teachers assign homework every two to three days and collect it all on Friday. Zhang Wei can basically finish all the homework on Wednesday, and then she can relax a little afterwards.
This resulted in her having nothing to do on weekends. Actually, it wasn't that she had nothing to do. In addition to the tasks assigned by her tutor, she also had to continue learning Latin and prepare for physics. After all, she still remembered that she was not very good at physics before.
By the way, on Friday afternoon before dinner, they went to their mentor, Professor Townsley, for a small meeting. It was called a small meeting because this straightforward professor only asked them two questions and then let them go:
"Are you having any difficulties with your studies?"
"Do you need my help?"
Seeing that everyone shook their heads and said nothing, he handed each of them a piece of paper. This is the piece of paper Zhang Wei is holding now, with a series of questions on it:
"What is your ideal?"
“What do you hope to achieve in one year?”
"What are your weaknesses?"
“What are you best at?”
Then have them come to her office at the same time next week with the answers on this sheet.
Zhang Wei felt that the first question was the most difficult for her because she only had a vague idea about the future and no specific plan. A week was not a very long time for her.
The coaches asked them to cherish this weekend. They said that starting from next week, some events would have to start additional training because of everyone's poor foundation. Everyone wailed when they heard the bad news.
To be honest, after such a stressful week, no student encountered any unexpected situation, which was really impressive enough for Zhang Wei to look at them with admiration. Everyone's psychological endurance was really good.
Especially the roommates in the Excellence Building. Zhang Wei is not bragging, but everyone has strong self-control and ability to withstand pressure. Even though several of them perform poorly in sports, they all persevere. Even Butch will practice extra and come back late for dinner.
Now Zhang Wei finally believed what he had heard before: sports is the lowest-cost way for children to experience failure.
This is the fundamental reason why Devon attaches so much importance to physical education. These favored children from upper-class families lack an environment for education that allows them to suffer setbacks. They need to develop strong psychological qualities so that they can remain calm in any situation and face any situation in the future. This is the "gentleman" that Devon wants to cultivate.
It is not the case that a person who wears a tuxedo and speaks politely and courteously can be called a "gentleman" by outsiders.
When it comes to the training of girls, the "gentleman" training method is completely adopted. Devon wants to cultivate strong women who also have "gentleman" qualities.
Zhang Wei thought that the German Girls' School must be cultivating the legendary "heroine".
So what kind of "heroine" does she want to be?
Zhang Wei looked at the questions on the white paper and was unable to write anything.
Her ideal seemed to be that when she first came to this world, she just wanted to live a stable life; then she wanted to live a better and freer life; now she wants to live a life of some use.
What exactly can she do?
Just as I was thinking about it and had no idea, there was a knock on the door.
Zhang Wei reflexively thought of Butch again, and stood up reluctantly to open the door. When he opened it, he saw Alia at the door.
She was holding two folders of handouts and asked:
"Vera, are you free now? I have some questions I want to discuss with you."
