hsc study camps? i never heard of them. but if i went on a camp with my mates, it wouldnt b study... it'll turn into a social gathering.

hehe thats why I can't study at anytime with my friends we have too much fun (and its not doing work!!)

i went to an ext english study day.....pretty helpful for the first half.

I didn't go, but I considered it...didn't get my shit together fast enough though.
But yeah-they are supposed to be very helpful, I don't know anyone who has regretted going to one, however some of them are quite expensive. If you don't want to pay a fortune, some Churches run them very cheaply. (you don't have to be a Christian to go though...but you'd have to be respectful and sorta "go along with it" if you know what I mean...)

yeah i'll prob be going to my church one in october...

there are other "non-church" ones though - and i don't think they're that expensive, considering that it's not like a usual camp where u pay for activities and stuff (although u pay to have teachers there a lot of the time, for help!)

for me i think it will just kinda "force" me to study... whereas if i was at home i'd be more tempted to go out or something
