李华是一名高一年级的中学生，阅读她的这篇日记，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
August 6, 2010 Sunny
Half of my summer vocation has passed. It's supposed to be the time for me, a senior- one student, to relax, read novels, chat with friends and, anyway, not to worry about getting up at 7 am for class.
Even before the vocation, I had been arranged to attend different "enrichment" classes to improve my main subjects. My mum did ask for my opinion whether I would like to go to such classes. But could I refuse? My negative reply would cause a long persuasion, which I would not face.
Besides, the teachers made summer homework lists as we were sent off for vocation. The reason sounds persuasive -- to keep us studying during the long break so we wouldn't forget our lessons.
I found that the joy of my summer vocation had been stolen. But do I blame my mum or my teachers? Of course not. Though I don't like listening to my mum's lessons about society competition, I still understand that I should do well in study. What bothers me is that I don't feel like sitting in the classroom focusing my mind on the teachers' lectures. My mind is staying outdoors, tasting the freedom of the blue skies, the power of sunshine and the comfort of gentle wind....... not only scores or certificates.
