[spin spin sugar]

i'd like to go to some in the lead up to the hsc. i've always heard of them but have no idea where they are or who runs them or ANYTHING. can someone share some info??

 

[Exeter]

my friend went to one
i dont really see a point in it
they FORCE you to study
ie: put u in a room with ppl and its just total silence for like 6 hrs a day

not very productive in my opinion
however if u really are seirous
then contact me
ill hold a camp at my house
pay me hourly and ill force u to study >=)

Its a bit extreme and a waste of money.
Just chuck yourself in one of those individual tables in the State Library for hours.

sometime at the end of sept, for 3 days
or do u want a full on camp thing like above?

why dont we all get together in a library and have a big happy families 'bored of studies' study camp orgy? i would like that...


*edit- wait... that came out the wrong way.... I really didn't mean the orgy part ^_^.... I meant let's get together with strangers and study alot

that sounds really good except for the 'compulsory' christian activity. i'm not religious - to me it would be a waste of time and money.

i am renting out my parents at $25 per hour. the best study buddys going around.
they will make sure you study.

l'm not religious either. Most of the people who went there weren't.

yeah i wouldn't mind , except they say that people are expected to partake in the Christian talks and stuff. if i could sit aside and work, i would still go, but i dont want to be forced into listening to christian talks. unl;ess thats just bullshit and you can sit out if you choose??

 

[Misturi]

well, you can't, because it IS a christian thing after all. Its only for about an hour a day. Plus its only for a week, l'm sure you can stand an hour of religion each day for a week. It seriously won't kill you.

personally i think it is a bit of a waste of money..like, (if you can do it) why not just follow the schedule but do it in your own home, or the library or something?

 

[Misturi]

what schedule?


Also some people have problems at home, like its too noisy, little brother or sister annoying you etc. In the library your tecaher isn't there to help you. But at the study camp l go to (my signature) you have tutors (about 20-30) who tutor every kind of subject, so if you have problems, they are only a question away.

so u sit and study for a week? don't u get tired?

 

[Misturi]

Yeah you sure do. You can listen to your music (discman) or you can eat lollies, you can do anything basically as long as you aren't disrupting other people. You study 6 hours a day, not all at once, you have free time and meals etc.
