Chapter 123 Retro Nostalgia
"Are you going? The time is this Sunday night," Queenie asked everyone.
Butch couldn't help but say, "Grandma Mia asked me yesterday if I participated in any freshman activities."
This immediately alerted everyone. It seemed that they had to go whether they wanted to or not. It was obviously too late to plan activities now because the two-week midterm break would start in a week.
Given the efficiency here, even if they come up with a plan today, it is a question whether it can be approved within a week. It is simply a fantasy to want to hold an event within a week.
If they don't go, and if they don't receive an invitation in the next week, it means that they haven't participated in any group activities in half a semester, and Grandma Mia will definitely not give them a good evaluation.
Last week, their mentor, Professor Townsley, held a meeting with them to discuss this issue. She knew the problems the twelve of them faced, but they had to find a way to solve it themselves.
“Look here!”
Alia pointed to a line of instructions on the invitation letter, and everyone's eyes immediately shifted to it. Zhang Wei picked up the invitation letter and took a look. It said: Those who do not meet the dress standards are not allowed to enter.
"Could this be their conspiracy? If we're kicked out because our attire doesn't meet the standards, we'll become the laughing stock of the whole school!"
Hayat guessed, crossing his arms.
"But I don't understand what the retro style here is like." Alia was a little confused.
Queenie spread her hands and said, "I grew up in Scotland, so I don't understand London's retro and nostalgic style."
"There should be some famous vintage stores in London, right?" Zhang Wei felt that this was not a problem. If you have money, you can buy anything.
"I know!" This was obviously Butch's area of expertise.
Hayat and the others looked at Tracy, who had been silent the entire time. Tracy then summarized and suggested with great leadership style:
"How about we go get ready for the costumes this weekend, with Butch leading the way?"
"I agree!" The princess's study companions immediately raised their hands to express their agreement.
Then everyone raised their hands in agreement and agreed to meet on Saturday.
Starting from last week, the school has allowed students to go home every week, but except for freshmen, many people do not go home every weekend. Manny did not go home this week. He is already in his last year of junior high school, and he will go to college in two years of A-lever, so he has started to get busy.
"Are you going home this week too? Okay, I'll go with you."
This was Namir's reply to Zhang Wei's message. This time she didn't dare to use her mobile phone privately, and waited until Friday afternoon after class to contact Namir.
Namier has been letting himself go since the class division after the weekly test.
Because he was too absorbed in the daily physical education classes in the first week and spent very little time on academic subjects, the class grades he was assigned to after the weekly tests were all below D, although his actual level was not that high.
This made him happier because he could easily get an A in the class and the pressure of studying was suddenly reduced.
Zhang Wei didn't know whether this was good or bad for him, but it did help him maintain his interest in learning and allow him to balance his studies while doing what he liked.
The Wilsons had no complaints about Namir, who scored the lowest in the family. The lowest-level courses for both Deleida and Manny were no more than Class C, not to mention Zhang Wei.
After a week of hard work at the beginning of the school year, Zhang Wei finally got all A's in the class placement test. She was one of only two people among the twelve students in the Excellence Building who got all A's, the other being Tracy.
All the other roommates got Bs in one or two courses, except Alia. Although she worked harder to learn Latin, a week was obviously not enough, and she only got a C despite her best efforts.
This is the only C in the Excellence Building, and Alia feels very disappointed.
Zhang Wei's straight A's impressed everyone else in the dormitory. Even Tracy, who rarely communicated with others, would occasionally chat with her about homework problems, because they were the only two who took all their classes in the same class.
As a result, Hayat and the other people in the study group became a little more polite to Zhang Wei, and Alia liked to come to her more to solve Latin problems. However, she knew that Zhang Wei spent no less time on studying than she did, so she would try to control the time she looked for her.
When it comes to hard work, Zhang Wei isn't sure about other people, but Alia is really more hardworking than anyone she has ever met.
Since she was able to go home, Alia also brought a desk lamp with her. She studies past midnight every day. Even though she doesn't need to clean the house anymore, she still gets up at six o'clock every day to read.
Alia's enthusiasm for study is really comparable to some of the college entrance examination candidates in China who are competing for a single spot, and she is only in the first grade of junior high school.
Zhang Wei believed that after the final exam, Alia’s Latin class would no longer remain in Class C.
It is undeniable that Zhang Wei breathed a sigh of relief after being admitted to Class A in all courses. At least he did not have to worry about being kicked out this semester. However, it seemed embarrassing to be kicked out next semester, so learning never stops and he kept working hard.
However, the learning atmosphere in Class A was really different. No one stared at her anymore. Everyone focused on the knowledge taught by the teacher. The teacher didn't have time to stare at just one person. Zhang Wei even had to answer quickly in order to get a chance to communicate with the teacher.
There is no other way. In a class full of experts, she must increase the teacher's impression of her in order to get the teacher's attention. If you don't say it, someone will naturally be willing to say it. After all, regular grades are also a very important part.
So she couldn't worry about other things during class. She had to listen carefully. When the teacher asked them to express their opinions, not only did she have to think quickly, but she also had to raise her hands faster than her brain, so that she would have the opportunity to show her opinions to the teacher.
After the graded test, Zhang Wei was more tired than before. The daily physical and mental work could not stop, so the rest time on weekends was particularly valuable.
It’s a pity that two days of this week are wasted. I have to go shopping for clothes on Saturday and attend a masquerade party on the weekend.
After Zhang Wei told the Wilsons about their weekend plans, Emma was very happy:
"You haven't mentioned your classmates at home twice since you came back. I'm always a little worried about whether you can adapt to life in Devon. It's not like before in Titfield, where Paris and Dora were always on your lips."
"Baby, I'm so glad you have a new friend!"
Zhang Wei had to admire Emma's attentiveness and was very grateful for her care. She herself didn't even realize the problem, but she didn't expect that an extracurricular activity could make her family so happy.
