How will you use your holidays?

So,

Holidays are now in sight (only 13 more school days left). How do you plan to use yours?

I'm gonna set myself goals this year for my holidays and I am to get 50 hours of work done over the two weeks (10 hours per subject; 3.5 hours a day). Just trying to push ahead a little bit (things are always much easier if you've already done them).

I figgure that that number of hours should leave plenty of time to have fun during my holidays too (which is the end purpose) and I'll try and cram as much into these ones as possible because my term 3 ones will be wasted with school work :(- so I'll try and compensate for that.

ROAR.


Also, I apologise in advance for creating another procrastination fueling thread.

I've got a leadership camp (to Canberra) in the last week of term, so my holidays will be spent catching up with that work, plus trying to get ahead as well. And whatever holiday homework they set.

About Philosophy

When I see a youth thus engaged,—the study appears to me to be in character, and becoming a man of liberal education, and him who neglects philosophy I regard as an inferior man, who will never aspire to anything great or noble. But if I see him continuing the study in later life, and not leaving off, I should like to beat him - Callicle

I really need to catch up on badminton over the hols, before I lose touch and become noob. (still stuck in MHS Bs though)

As with Water, I definitely need to go out and watch a movie too!

I shall be working for my Renaissance SAC due first week back. :)
Loads of practice Keats essays, reading my lit novels (especially Atonement) and watching Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet (cause I think his is the best) :D Also will be trying to get a good start on the creative SAC for Lit, based on The Boat.

Hopefully I'll be working ahead muchly, especially for Literature. :) I'll be overseas for 2 and a half weeks (missing an entire week of school) for the Winter Holidays and I have a weekend camp during the last weekend of the Winter Holidays so I plan to work ahead now for then. :)

I'll be working ahead on Chemistry and English. I have an English SAC first week back and obviously the Chemistry mid-year exam. I also have to prepare for the "Bond University Mooting Competition" which takes place in early May - we'll see how far my team can go. I'll work on most of subjects really; working ahead and so on. Having said that, I'll try to find a balance between studying and relaxing... hoping for a relaxing, yet productive holiday period.
