REPETITION

As everyone from my previous chumash class knows, I love to complain about repetition. It always seems that whatever we learn is constantly being repeated in different words. So, of course, I am going to say that I am not sure what to expect in sefer Vayikra besides repetition. It is difficult for me to think of many new things that we will learn from this sefer considering that my class has already gone through sefer Bamidbar and Devarim. We have seen Moshe's final speech to the nation and all of the specific details included in the way that the nation must construct their new lives in the land of Eretz Yisroel. We have learned all about how Bnei Yisroel must become a Goy Kadosh and Mamlechet Kohanim. We even did a project in which we had to read an article all about holidays and Korbanot, which was based on concepts from sefer Vayikra. So, this is what I am expecting to find in the sefer: Korbanot which relate to keeping the nation a Goy Kadosh which will be brought to their national center, the Mishkan or Beit Hamikdash (obviously). I do not know what else can be found in the sefer but repetition, so if anybody can help make what we are about to learn more clear to me, that would be truly exciting to me!
