Past/current HSC students: Did you prefer holidays or school days? (1 Viewer)

[Ellie_Belly]

SURE!!!

Yay!

 

[pritnep]

I would not prefer (but its an necessary evil) school days for studying and completing assignments and even when I go home in the afternoon knowing I have assessments looming is a excellent motivation for completing them. Although holidays are a welcomed break and rest point it does tend to disrupt my work\study patterns I have already developed.

 

[xtol]

Does anyone want to know how much work I have to do these holidays....
* Modern History research assignment (2000wd essay)
* Religion assignment (prepared 50min essay to complete 1st day back)
* English Advanced 2005 module papers
* Extension Two Major Work
* English Extn 1 assignment (1 essay, 1 letter)
* IPT assessment (read case studies for assessment 2nd day back)
* Maths past papers

Bye Bye holidays!!!

-Line by Line Analysis of Yeats poems. So far 15 page document, more than half is just the poems rewritten.
-Assignment, analyse 5 different texts

Maths
-Homework question
-Easter Bunny Assignment, another reason to shoot the Easter Bunny, he's in league with my maths teacher (who during class prays to pythagoras)

Physics
-Assignment on medical physics, spent 2 days of holidays begging for x-rays etc at hospital

Modern History
-Summarise textbook (homework)

Japanese
-About 20 A3 sheets to translate

Business

So for our sad little game of holiday work. Sadly I have checkmate.

An Easter Bunny assignment is my maths teacher trying to be funny...its just heaps of questions

 

[passion89]

School for staying motivated. Holidays for catching up on sleepness!

 

[taki999]

^ i agree...you just drift doing nothing and after returning to school most people are like..shit i wasted my holidays, but i guess it's the only holiday we can actually relax before we have to study hard.

 

[passion89]

I kind of wanna get back to school because I know very soon I'm going to start slacking off and being idiotic lol but then I still want to be able to do nothing all day long. Oh the internal conflicts one faces in the wake of the HSC!

 

[Riviet]

Holidays - best time to catch up on sleep and work or get ahead of others that might be mucking around.

School - almost no time to do the above.

haha, I like the strategy there Riviet, exactly what I noticed.

 

[luscious-llama]

I know this sounds strange. Most of you will probably enjoy holidays more.

But I have to say, I hate HSC holidays. They were great before this year, but now they just suck.

I go to bed late. I get up late. I eat late. I am lazy. I bludge all day when I have a nice pile of assignments to do. I feel shit coz I bludge. I get depressed because the work gets even more stressful. It totally sucks.

At school, at least I am FORCED to interact with other people. Plus, I can talk to them about work, and compare with them. It feels like I have a tighter grip on the HSC at school.

saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame

 

[s2indie]

Well its nearing the end of the holidays, and well schoolwork-wise, i haven't done anything productive, ive done a bit of homework here and there, i was momentarily motivated to start my assessment until i read the first paragraph of the topic.
I have mixed feelings towards the whole getting back to school:
1. Sleep will once again become a luxury - oh how i'll miss it.
2. I'll be doing homework and socialising again.
I've been such a couch potato - eating and sleeping and then the few hours on the net.

 

[Nicci_15]

I prefer the school holidays to study 'cause when im at school, there's not much time for me to study and to practice my musical instrument, in actual fact I only have 4 hrs each night if im lucky. So I like the holidays and I force myself to study.

 

[passion89]

Oh crap school in 5 days...nooooooo I take it back - I prefer the holidays! 1 more weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek...if only

Think of it this way: the closer to the end of holidays, the closer to term. The closer to term, the closer to the end of term. THe closer to the end of term, the closer to holidays. And the cycle continues until the HSC is over forever!!!
