5 of 6 and the next week.

So, there it is. Five of six exams done. I must say, today’s Maths Extension 2 exam really took me to the limit. It was simply, really hard. That’s all. At least it’s over now, and I can enjoy the weekend. The last exam is Maths Extension 1, but really, that’s going to be easy compared to what it was today.

Alas, I don’t have an exciting weekend, again. The only thing that is ‘good’ is my dentist appointment. Other than that, I can’t think of anyone who has a free weekend. There is still three days of exams left, and then the holidays. Still, there is a lot to look forward to, as essentially this is the only “free” holiday; the next one is before trials, and the one after is before the HSC exam.

The other good thing is that I will be celebrating my 17th birthday very soon, 18 days at the time of writing. Still deciding what to do, but stay tuned, and do ask about what I do.

Now I need to try and sleep.

The dormant writing bug

In my mind, I have many ideas for a blog post. Unfortunately, they don’t ever make it here, because my mind gets lost in doing more important things. It’s like a sickness that you catch, you know you’ve got it, but it doesn’t affect your body. Anyway, hopefully the upcoming school holidays will help.

It has been a long first term of year 11 for me. Results have been good, but they can be better. During the holidays, I will be reading David Allen’s book about Getting Things Done. It should be good. I’m assuming that the geeks who read this are using GTD, how are you finding it?

It’s going to be my birthday during the holiday. Yes, I will be having a party so photos of them will be up the night after.

That’s all.

(At time of writing) Four short days…

Filed under: Forward Thinking — Tags: , , , , — Ben @ 8:09 pm

… until I go to music camp. For me, music camp is an annual thing. A time when all musicians from my school gather somewhere out of school to enjoy music. My friend Tom says it is “the best camp of the year.”

Music camp is held several days before school officially starts. You could say it cuts my holiday short. I don’t find it that way. I see it as an opportunity to get back into school routine, especially after two months of holiday. But what has been bugging me more than ever is knowing that summer has ended and it is only 300 or so days before the next summer.

Summer is a time where I rest after a (successful) school year. Each day, I feel that I have not fully recovered from the year (and why should I?, I have two months off!). But all good things must come to an end, and so here I am.

Over the years, I have tried to find a way to ease back into normal life. I still haven’t found the perfect solution but I have managed to do some things.  Have you got any suggestions on how to get back to normal life after a two month holiday?
