Studied through 4 chapters for 2unit maths. Hoping to finish all of 3U by the end of the holidays. Still need to do HEAPS of other h/w + study. Need to stop procastinating lol.

I finished off permutations and combinations worksheets with the help of BOS (thanks guys) and have begun with random bable for a speech due second week back (epp!).

As for revision/syllabus summaries haven't done a bit. There's goes my rankings in religion, Chemistry and PDHPE :( oh well, I'll study tomorrow *wink wink*.

Give me motivation please :read: ...

P.S How's everyone else fairing?
I need motivation too. I feel dead from the studying. I don't even feel like myself anymore. I need to study more chemistry. :( sigh. I'm so tired, and sick, and ill, and i'm loosing a lot of weight (in %, because i don't have much to start with). Maybe it's possible to die from studying too much, the same way people die from playing WOW 4 days straight or something. Its so hillarious how people can die from playing WOW too much. Do you think i'll die if I study 4 days straight?

No - you've obviously built up a decent immunity to studying for long periods of time. Just take breaks every so often - even if that includes whole day breaks. Its worth it. If you are sick yo should not study too much.

P.S How's your diet and exercise levels? If you don't mind me asking... its important.

Re: how far is everyone through holiday hw and study?

Foram, you too suffer from an "asian metabolism?" :p How tall are you?
I've been lifting weights almost everyday for 1hr, eating as much as I can, drinking protein shakes. I'm still 65kg ==" Been trying hit that 70kg, for ages.. losing my motiviation to work out.. and that protein shakes are soo expensive.. ($50 per 2weeks) Might as well just stop working out and save myself $$.

Studied for like 2hours this morning.. kind of lost track after eating breakfast and watched some TV.. It's like 2.30 now.. haven't accomplished much. lol. Got to fight this procastination!

Okay, this is bs. I had my half yearlies before term 1, in weeks 10 and 11. Assessments kept piling up and I didn't have enough time for revision and study but instead, I perfected my assignments and assessment tasks, receiving high marks. Now, I'm shitting myself due to the exams because I believe I didn't do so well, and I'll have to anxiously wait for my marks.

Just do your best NOW. Don't be in a situation like me. Use these holidays to your ADVANTAGE. I wish my half yearlies were in say week 2 or in a month, so I'd actually have the time to study efficiently.... I spent too much time on assessments worth zero, owning everyone.

For some reason, I do really well in assignments and assessment tasks, but when it comes to exams, I go down. Anyone else in the same situation?

Yeah. Today was absolutely full of procrastination. My body is not operating very well today.

I woke up at 4 am (which is perfectly abnormal for me, by the way) and I felt so tired. I totally ruined my study plan and started going to BOS from 4 am and started talking with another boser from 4 am to 8 am!!!!

It just doesn't finish here. After 8 am, I started watching stuff from youtube till 11 am. I started talking with summerroxx on msn from 11 am to 1 pm. From 1 pm to until now, all I did was talking with people (chatting is a better word).

I don't know. I hope to change the name to "operates again" as soon as I get back on track to my study plan. Thanks for your comment, though!!!

yer, sometimes - hand in tasks are so much better than exams cause you have the advantage of time and asking for help etc

Yeah :) That's why I think I'll have the advantage of doing exceptionally well when the internal assessments start crawling in during the HSC. When it comes to the final exam, I have to do well and rank top, otherwise if I perform really well in the internals and perform low in the externals, my mark would get scaled down badly, especially how I go to a non-selective school.
