5. Read Semester 1 English texts.

good luck iNerd... I didn't read my literature texts this year, it realy does help. I ended up writing a 1000 word essay about Antigone based on what I had picked up in class discussion. Not the best aproach to VCE at all.
Notice how thats priority 5 :P...lol I'm flying off overseas for 4weeks anyways...cbs doing anything atm...like total cbs :(

Advice: don't read Brave New World because you NEVER use it at all! Don't read Antigone either! You can knock off Maus on the airplane trip, quite a good story actually
...and the "Quiet American"?

Cricket?? Is that still a sport? :P

Also, what is the Quite American?

Cricket - maybe not after so many losses, but still awesome to watch!

Quiet American - a novel by Graham Greene regarding the Vietnamese conflict, written in the eyes of a British journalist. Studied in yr11 at MHS. A really good read though, highly recommended to any-one!

I have a couple of friends who used to be there...

No offence, but they have no concept of holiday homework (or homework at all for that matter). The good smart ones must still be at GWSC   ;)    <--- *successfully brought back onto topic (maybe)*

Yep, imagine: doing some spesh, VN open on web-browser, and listening to cricket on the radio...

That would be a great holiday study session

Spesh: Nothing.  If i wanted to, I can read through the first chapter of the book provided...
Methods: Essentials Chapter 2
Physics: Heinemann Chapter 1 (can't remember how many exercises though) and a handout w/ 30 motion questions...

My holiday homework (as given by school):

- Read English texts and revise for English Oral (SAC)
- Complete Ex. 2A, B, C, D of Essentials Math Methods
- Complete Revision Questions from "Making and Breaking the Law"

I didn't get any work from Chemistry or Latin - though I'll do some work on it anyhow.
