I'll probably be relaxing a bit during the first week- taking things slow and doing a bit of study in between. Over the holidays, I'm doing some volunteering so that'll help me take my mind off things. However, I do need to do some of my Major Work so that'll be my biggest focus towards the end of the holidays.
Good idea to volunteer - great way to take your mind off the HSC. Yeah same, I have the first acrylic layer of my artwork due on the first day back at school so I have a solid 2 weeks to work on that - it's good because it's really forcing me to get into it (I sometimes push aside my art major work because it stresses me out that much but I'm onto it now so that's good).
A lot to make up for the losses of half yearlies as well as practicing to relax and calm down as my I tend to worry and panic... My ambitions stems from hatred so I am in the process of getting over that (I am planning to write it down on my hsc journal the reasons behind my ambitions but not too sure yet)
Oh yeah I remember reading some of your HSC journal! I have also found that physically writing in a journal can work heaps as well - it can be a good way to spill out worries about the hsc that you don't necessarily want a whole community of people to know about - otherwise the act of pen on paper for reasons other than working can be quite therapeutic. I agree with you in that I'm going to be working but at the same time calming myself down and relaxing because I was in a really negative mindset in the last weeks of term 1 and half yearlies
- I need to use this time to get out of it.
