Post Exam Plans: Schoolies/Holiday/Work/Gap Year - Let us know

[shooterblitz]

- Get GTAV, NBA2K14, FIFA14, and get stuck into those.
- Begin preparing for my Hazards and actually begin to drive all the time again.
- Go to as many sporting events - MVFC games, Ashes, ODI's, T20s, BBL, and next year go to all 3 State of Origin games.
- Get a part-time job to fill up my pockets.
- Buy a labrador pup.
- Envy my friends with their cars and P's already (perks of being 17 in YR 12)

[no steez]

Get a job and move out.

[lala1911]

Not too much 
Relax, of course.
Hopefully move out if possible.
Holiday to gold coast it seems.
Prepare for university, which means relearning a programming language I deferred for so long.
Entirely revamping my gaming setup so I can get back into it.

[texroy]

In chronological order:

- Have a few days at home after my final exam (Media Studies) getting stuck into GTA V and NHL 14
- School Val/Graduation Dinner
- Schoolies with six close friends down the coast
- Hopefully getting stuck into a summer job at a chain retailer (Kmart/Target/etc.) before Christmas
- Six Xmas parties with family/family-friends
- Birthday early in January, getting my Ps not long after that
- More time at the summer job whilst (hopefully) moving into my accommodation for next year
- Canada for two weeks at the end of January. Seeing three ice hockey games, picking up a set of gear
- Getting home and transferring workplaces to one near my new residence
- Working/Ice hockey whilst prepping to enter uni

Almost as full-on as this year has been, it seems. At least it'll be full-on in an enjoyable way

* Work more hours on the holidays - My manager is waiting for me to finish Year 12 to give me a contract with heaps of hours. :p
* Buy GTA 5.

[alondouek]

...a contract with heaps of hours. :p
* Buy GTA 5.

Am I the only one who sees a problem here?

[Damoz.G]

I don't see the problem. What's wrong with that?

[b^3]

I think what he means is a contract with lots of hours means no time to play GTA 5. Time to play GTA 5 means no hours to work to get the money to buy GTA 5.
tbh this comes to mind.

EDIT: Plans for the holidays, catch up on getting rid of the massive sleep debt I've built up over the semester, and then try and get fit again, I'm so unfit since I stopped swimming at the start of yr 11 -.-

[Damoz.G]

Ohhh. LOL. Now I see it!

[TechnicallyDead]

Build a pc.
Play games on my computer
And maybe grab Pokemon x + 3ds
Sleep <- Nope not needed, used to late nights from vce so hey a positive

Get a job and move out.

Then try my hardest to do this ^^^

[Fiiiiish]

I'm leaving for Japan a few days after my last exam for about 2 months. I need to get away from people and school and go out to see a bit more of the world. VCE has truly narrowed my perspective, I need to breathe. I also don't want to be sitting around at home anxiously waiting for my ATAR and offers. That said though, I'm worried that I'll have to enrol in person... I'm sure things will work out though. But Japan will be great!

[Charmz]

I really am looking forward to trying GTA V! No time to play it now.
And probably once I get bored with GTA (if thats possible) maybe study a bit for 2nd year and maybe catch up with hs friends since I haven't seen them in forever.

[HossRyams]

Hmm post-exam plans:
- Get a job. Hopefully tutoring or lecturing for some VCE program <_>
- Play more Pokemon X
- Start learning Chinese & German
- Celebrate birthday/post-exams at Crown (hotel 18th class)
- DRIVE so I can get my Ps

I have no idea what next year will be like  or even what after November will be like and that scares me a little.

 I have a rough plan, buuut it's sketchy at the moment.

I want to defer study. i need time to save up money so I can move out into college interstate. At least that's what I think I want right now.

In the meantime i have 16 months to do whatever the hell I want, money and time permitting.

I'm scared of meeting that void, and filling it with stuff that isn't school. And I'm afraid of being lonely and a bit lost because I'm not in a system anymore; I'll be finding my own way. But I'm also really excited!

 First of all I really want to write the first draft of a novel. It's been something that has been bugging me for years and years, but school has taken priority. I think that next year is the year it's going to happen. I'm going to write so much, with short stories and poetry on the side. I want to know if I could really make something of my writing if I focused on it for a year. ( This makes me question  the PhB and plans to move to Canberra, because what if being in the academic world isn't something that want in the end? Maybe i just want to be creative...I don't know haha)

 To help me out, I'd really like to buy a fountain pen and a typewriter and a new laptop and phone.

I want to see live music, and become obsessed with a group I haven't heard of before. I want to watch movies and follow a series. I'd love to enter singing Eisteddfods and focus more on my singing and performing.

I need a job, preferably full time. I'm going to tutor Lit ( and hopefully English) as well. ( heads up guys for anyone interested!) I want to become more worldly before I shuttle myself off to another educational institution. Maybe if there's enough money left over I could travel as well. I want to go back to Germany and try out my speaking skills. I'm even considering a working holiday in Europe. There are soo many possibilities.

I want to read more books. I want to immerse myself in words. I want the luxury of going to the public library for a day and spending the whole day reading.

I want to keep making art.  I've had to keep a folio for three years in school and not having one would feel quite strange to me.

I want to get fit and join a gym or a running club or a netball club.

I want to go to more parties and socialise more and build up new and old relationships I'm not sure if I'll be disconnected from my friends as they find new pathways and meet new people at uni. I'm sure I'll still keep in touch with many of them, but I'd like to meet new people as well, somehow. BUT HOW IF I'M NOT AT UNI?

I DUNNO GUYS I'M EXCITED/ ALSO SLIGHTLY TERRIFIED
