anything is cheaper than a $150+ massage. it'd be more interesting to lie on the floor and get your dog to run up and down your back (if anyone does this, post pics yeh?) :)
Lol@that.

I'd like to know what they're playing at, since it can work for some people, but not for others. I went out with a friend yesterday for a leisurely walk to 'relax', and ended up getting swooped by four magpies in the space of one hour.

I concur, jirwin. -nods-

I'd rather sleep.

If the Dep wanted us to relax, they would instantly take away the content in the slybus and say... you dont need to know that... AHHHHH dream come true
YUSSS! -screams- That would be fucking awesome.

No you don't study 10-15. You waste time on the internet for that long mixed in with some study. You are not studying for the entire 10-15hours. If you did do 6 hours of actual study you can get a fair bit done.

There's always SOMEONE... isn't there?

It's gotta be more than the HSC that drives someone to do something like that....
I'm just hoping it's not a BoSer, or someone I know irl. :(

Yeah, definitely there'd be more than just the HSC on the person's mind.

How do you do 10-15 hours of study? I've averaged about 4 for the past week. But that's full-on productive study, no interference... If i did 10 it'd be about 3 hours of study, 7 hours of stuffing around, looking out my window, calling people. etc.

I hear through 'connections' that people at James Ruse seem to average 10 to 14 or something.

O_O

I still need to sort out my notes into piles based on subjects. Maybe that'd help me to 'relax' a little more ...

So how long was your average school day? Let's say it was 6 hours. Does this mean you never got anything done during a school day?

yeah i gotta agree with you. my limits about 5-6. if i try to cram in anymore it goes in reverse and the next day i wont do anything. but for me , 5-6 productive hours is really good .. so yeah. im not complaining :p

Even the department of education is saying relax, have a balance and take breaks.

Don't over do it guys, it is not good for you. More than 6 hours a day is unhealthy and won't work.

I'm not stressing, I'm trying to relax about our upcoming exams. I'm still doing the work though but with breaks to clear my mind and to remotivate me.
with ure subjects i wouldnt be worrying either
