So another term has past the last holidays or should I say Study Vacation before the HSC begins. So what are your plans. A mixture of study and holiday fun, all out study – past exams etc and how you will go about organising your time: study plan, timetable or list.

For me I shall be making a list of all the study I want to\need to achieve. Then methodically going through that, working at my own pace and using my own techniques. Of course I shall go out once in awhile to freshen the mind.

Mmmmm... A mixture of exam papers and just reading my notes over and over again.

Mondays and Fridays are left for 6 hrs of Maths tutoring a day - Fun! :) At home, I'll do exercises and exam questions and just memorise formulaes.

English - I'll do one more essay for each topic and write my creative piece before memorising most of it by rewriting it over and over. And I'll do a language section.

Ancient - Reading notes and essay questions, mainly for Cleo and Fall of Republic cos they're my weakest points.

Physics - I'm not bothering. I'll read over notes every now and then when I can be bothered, otherwise it's a loss I'm cutting off - I'll wing it like I've been doing lately.

Bus. Stud. - Mostly the essays, finance and global questions and note reading.

Modern History: Just read over my notes and find/make up some quotes for historians. Prob write a few essays as well. And yes, fuck you Leni Riefenstahl.

English: Refine my practice essays, as well as writing a few more. Also have to do a few creative writing pieces, as i'm pretty weak at it.

Business: Re-read my notes and do finance notes, as well as doing questions, memorizing formulas and the interchangeable names

Maths: past papers and constant revision.

SOR2: Thank God, i have a week to study for it after my last exam! I'll hopefully finish a majority of my notes before the holidays and start on a few generic essays.

i went 72 hours without the computer and TV and reckon i pulled off a good +20 or so hours of study

im hoping to complete all my summarising + excel book questions by the 8th, and then ill take a day off at a lan tournament while wearing my microsoft shirt and bringing my study notes to increase my geekiness to stereotypical levels.

after that ill spend a week just doing past papers then a few days going over all my weaknesses and questions i had difficulty with and that leaves me with about half a week of non stop english cramming.

im really just worried about the first few exams, 2 english papers and history within the first week and from then on i have a pretty large gap between all my other subjects and im feeling confident about them already.

i think i really should unplug my computer again, damn my dad for finding the cord and plugging it in again. why must he tempt me!?!
