Today is a holiday for us to revise our work. Umi-san and Hikaru-san had come over my place to study because I told them my parents won't be here until late at night.
Hikaru-san whispered to me that she didn't believe that Umi-san actually was studying. Umi-san and I were surprised by the exam syllabus of Biology, which was 3 textbooks plus a big pile of handouts. Umi-san was surprised how Hikaru-san could love Biology despite of these. But she thinks History is more difficult because we need to write essays. Umi-san only sighed.
Later, Sango-san, Kagome-san and Miroku-san joined us. The 3 of them were studying Jap. History. Later, Kuu-san came and help them, since she got the highest mark in Jap. History when she was is High school.
30 minutes later, Kuyami-san came as well. She called Kagome-san but her brother told her that she's at my place. Her home, which is a wedding dress shop, was having some noisy costumers. So her mother called her to go to other place to study. Kuyami-san helped Umi-san and me greatly in telling us the method of remembering the Chinese pinyin of the people's name, which were come from the topic of China reforms in the late 19th century. She was good at the part of Germany and Italy unifications as well.
We studied from 10:00am (when Umi-san and Hikaru-san arrived) till 4:00pm, when everyone's stomach were protesting. We went to a small restaurant to have snacks. Then, except Umi-san and Hikaru-san, the rest headed back to their own places--we decided to try to stay up the whole night to study (again). I know this is not healthy. But I'm still worrying about the essays.
Self-strengthening Movement (1861-94): led by Prince Gong, Zeng Guofan and Li

A thorough reform.
