I have done bits of work but thats mainly to make up for my schools slowness. I also blame the cricket for being so distracting lol. As far as the holidays i have english hw -3 essays and past papers for physics which i havent started.

My plan is to work hard when school starts. Hope i havent done too much damage.:rolleyes:

I worked pretty consistantly the first month but have slacked off the last few days. I've made notes in all my subjects, done past papers, done my EE2, worked on my ext hist, done my EE2 proposal, made notes ahead in English, French, Mod Hist, Anc Hist, have been practicing essays for an eng ext. exam coming up and am going to spend the last few days doing a few more practice papers, finishing off what I can do for ext hist, writing flash cards for my notes and doing lots of french listening exercises.

Haven't done much at all... Read the 50th Gate, updated my EE2 journal and did some Chem. Oh, and did Maths. But, compared to my friends, I am a failure.

Hmm, was doing some study the first two weeks, but slowed down to virtually no work when Australian Open came around :(

Done:
- Dot Points for Economics Topic 1
- Half Dot Points for Chemistry - Production of Materials/some surfing/some dot point exercise (don't know if I still know the stuff :()
- Watched 3 episode of Frontline
- Tiny bit of Maths

Should have done...

- School requested to us to read BNW+Tempest (read tempest only).
- Holiday essays from school. Geo/Eco/Eng essays
- Modern summary

Might do some essays before I go back to school. Overall a very average holiday so far.

I still claim Im going to do mass's of work in the next few days. But ultimately, Ive done nothing these holidays... which means the next term will be a heavy workload as I frantically write summaries for T4 and T1 b4 the half yearlys.
