An actual answer: (:o) this time last year I might have done 2-3 hours/day on average. This means nothing for several days, then lots for a bit etc :P
But half of that was doing my chinese practise exams she made us do

And I love your posts here droodles :D

I'm pretty sure that psycho-analyzing people based on 'pseudo' interactions through the medium of text isn't 'normal'. Neither is shit stirring.

It screams 'attention whore' to me.

Anyway, to keep this OT - I only did what was set for the first 2 holidays and crammed in the last break before exams.

More or less the same with me. I just concentrated on spesh for the whole year, neglecting my other subjects. Then in the last 4-6 weeks, I upped the ante and crammed for my other subjects.

Well. I have three weeks holidays. Did nothing in the first week. This week I've actually attempted work and I've still got another week to go (thank god). But I've got to prepare for 3 SACs (basically do my Lit SAC in the holidays) plus read 2 books that I haven't read yet for Lit and English so I've got heaps of work to do with little time.

Btw, I turned up at the library (at the designated time) and no one was there. Although... I didn't really know who I was looking for, so I just went straight to work (and actually accomplished stuff! yay!)

I feel kind of bad putting this here, simply because the discussion actually got back on topic. HOWEVER, to clinton_09, Daniel08, droodles and costargh, cut out the fighting. And I especially direct to Daniel08 and clinton_09: I have had several neutral bystanders PM me with complaints about you two re: your trolling. I'm putting you on notice, I *will* ban you if I catch you trolling again.

Also, now that I've got this out of the way, no-one is to reply to this post here. If you wish to discuss this warning, do it via PM. Anyone replying to this warning and further derailing the discussion will have their posts deleted and could possibly receive a more severe punishment at mine or moderator discretion. Sorry to have interrupted again, it's just that this needed to be said. :) Now returning you to your regularly programmed viewing:

AS FOR MY holiday homework... none so far. Fkn hell, I want to get some pre-reading done for physics but my lecturer hasn't told us which book to actually get (there's two), so I'm kind of in the dark. Oh well, I'm sure it'll work itself out. :P

oh noez i replied to your post.

similar thing with MUEP at the moment. there's a supplementary notebook that appeared out of nowhere :P should I be reading that or my textbook?

For me, the hardest part is actually getting the books out. Once I start, I'm usually in 'the zone', and could probably study for an hour or so before I start losing concentration.

To be honest I don't plan on failing units (exam was only 56%, he should be sitting on 10% free marks from online assessments and nearly 25% for labs, given he rocked up for them. That's about two thirds of the way to 50 there without doing anything) so I don't know much about it. He's right he won't be able to do 2nd year physics, but I have no idea about how easy it is to get permission to do the units concurrently

omg!!! you guys are NOT SERIOUS that you wake up at 8 or somtin ang study till midnight??!! Are you trying to put on a fake nerdy identity or somting? If you are not, then you guys are very dedicated!!!

BTW- i dont measure my study in hours, i measure it in the amount of tasks i have completed on that day. I made a big list of all the things i had to do at the start of holidays and try to cross them off as i go along. Part of the problem when it comes to studying in hours is that i focus to much on time and not on the actual study and therefore i dont really have a good measure of where i really am.

I would do something like that. I'd work out what I want to achieve for each subject, in such a way that they should take *roughly* the same time. If something takes 0.5 or 1.5x as long as I thought it would, so what? I don't need to keep going until/stop at x o clock.

I personally believe that holidays are for pursuing extracurricular activities which you don't get to take up during school semesters. Then again, at VCE level there is definitely a huge amount of study that needs to be done as well during the holidays.

That said, being in first year uni I won't be doing any study/school-related work at all during these holidays. Instead, I'm trying to complete the DS games I've queued up all semester, and am also taking up yoga, knitting, keyboard, drums, guitar, cooking, fansubbing, skydiving, icelandic (language), moe drawing etc.

The holidays are not long enough to learn much stuff. Maybe next time.
