J+15 One Chinese school week...

I had absolutely no idea school could be this hard. I am mentally exhausted and I have NO energy at all...
This week, I didn't have any time (not even 5 minutes) to exercise, so i also feel physically tiered. Chinese students, from what I see have no time for activities. I spoke with a boy today, he went on for half an hour about the excitement he feels when he thinks about the next holiday, "I will be able to play a little bit of piano, maybe even go for a walk in Nanjing", he almost cried tears of joy.
They work so hard, it's hardly believable.
Because of the population, the pressure to stand out is a lot stronger so the students devote their entire time (day&night) to their studies. The highest grades they achieve, the most chances they get of entering a good university...
I knew about this pressure before coming, but I have been surprised by the solidarity: in the class, they all help each other, make sure their classmates understand, it really feels like a big family!
I have recently tried to use QQ messenger, all in Chinese... A lot of students in the school are chatting with me, posting pictures on my wall, but I can't tell who they are since their names are all in Chinese! "do you want to go out tomorrow?" I have no idea who this is...
This morning, I arrived in class and my classmates had brought me a breakfast! (2de one in the day...), a sort of coriander, pork, egg ,pepper, vegetable, chili crepe!
They are very caring and follow me everywhere I go!
