暑期日记

I spent this summer vacation in quite a different way. I used to run about every day in previous summer vacations but this summer vacation I simply could not afford to do so. 

I would soon be in the last year of my high-school education and would after graduation be up against the college entrance examinations. Though those examinations were still a year away I had to start early to make myself well prepared by reviewing all those things I had learned at school and this summer vacation was the ideal time for me to do this. At first I was rather dismayed at the thought of this but later I thought it was better this way because by working hard this summer I could count on endless happy summers to come. With this in mind I then set to work like anything and only occasionally went out for a change or did some physical.

I was not at all bored by this kind of life for I was sustained by a hope.
