VC week/Mid-sem break (2 Viewers)

[timbk2]

Whats everyone up to?

assignments?
movies?
easter show?
sleep?
catching up on those missed lectures?


You might think a week is a long time.. but you'll be amazed how little u can do during these weeks. My best advice is to plan out eveyrthing u want to do during the next week or so now.. and then do a bit of work eveeryday to achieve it.

ah ive got some work to do and a bit of study//not heaps though

some uni friends want to go out to the easter show, but i seriously dont want to waste what little money i have going there

 

[santaslayer]

Plan to do 2 big assingments...tyayyyy!!

and maybe go skating...

no easter show though...might ask people to buy the bags if i really want them...

My mid semester break isn't for about another 4 weeks

But I'm just happy that its the long weekend .

Which I will probably spend both catching up on work, reading textbooks and starting and finishing assignments.

 

[Xayma]

Assignment mainly, little relaxation, and hopefully some catch up.

Not to much but knowing me I will be lazy with the assignment and slowly do it, destroying the relaxation but extending the time it takes.

If time permits reorganising my room/desk. However that doesn't look likely to happen.

Very difficult essay (20%) for Animal and Human Biology. Tough question, and only 1000 words to answer it in.

 

[Riewe]

Catch up on the first 4 weeks of stuff. I haven't done any study, or anything study-related, except prac reports, so i really need to figure out what each subject is talking about before the mid-semester exams come along. But that is my plan, and most likely, it'll never turn out like that.

 

[babez_hamp]

yeh, i also need to catch-up on the last 4 weeks......i can't believe how quickly they've gone and now i'm regretting not doing more study since the next 10 weeks are going to be crazy.

 

[grk_styl]

2 assignments (did one today, wohooo!)
2 seminars
read over my notes about a billion times
start researching for 2 essays due in May
Read ahead for the next 2 weeks (hopefully)

...and yes trying to fit in going to the show, seeing friends, going shopping and hanging out.

 

[sarevok]

I've got one assignment which I'll do tomorrow. Apart from that I intend to bludge.

 

[Minai]

Write up graduate recruitment applications..

 

[jellybeenz]

Do everything I should have done in the past 3 weeks. I was hoping to get started on my essays.... but I really don't see that happening.

 

[babez_hamp]

Write up graduate recruitment applications..

that must be pretty freaky........after you've just gotten used to the university life after highschool it's over again..

 

[Lexicographer]

Three years is plenty of time at uni. It only takes a single semester to "get used" to uni life, though to be fair you need a full year (including the summer break between first and second year) to understand and swing with the whole Academic Year at uni. The next two years are more of the same but with interesting content and harder work.

 

[timbk2]

Write up graduate recruitment applications..

ditto, i gotta apply for a million grad jobs next week

 

[Minai]

that must be pretty freaky........after you've just gotten used to the university life after highschool it's over again..

Yeah...a lot of grad friends I've talked to miss uni, because, compared to working life, uni is such a bludge (even though you may have 20-30 hours of uni a week, you'd be working 50-60 hours a week)

 

[thejosiekiller]

yeah but thats the point- you are no longer studying, you are using ur skills in your chosen field

in uni u have to study/work and get a job, but after uni these 2 things become your career

so its probably not the same amount of hours- i dont know how hard some of you work at uni and ur jobs....but yeah

 

[Lexicographer]

Not everyone at uni has a job. For me at least, "student doctor" IS my job.

 

[thejosiekiller]

well if i was doing medicine like urself i would devote my time to study- yes

i was just pointing out that there are stages in your life that lead to another stage

i guess

I thought you don't finish at the end of the year because your doing less subjects this year?
