In the Law School of the Provincial City University, with holidays imminent, the campus was especially lively.
The last few days were actually exams. After each exam, some people would go to the self-study room to review, while many more went directly back to their dormitories — yearning for home! Although packing up early wouldn't make the holiday come sooner, getting everything ready ahead of time did provide some reassurance every time you checked.
