So, I'll start. Over the entire hols I want to:
1. Finish a draft for ext2 eng.
2. Finish a draft for ext hist.
3. Finish AOS Journeys - supp. texts, three practice essays done.
4. Read and make preliminary notes on Brave New World
5. Watch and make preliminary notes on Blade Runner
6. Read and make prelimnary notes on a dolls house
7. ditto for North and South
8. do an hour of french every day (listening to the news, writing tasks etc.)
9. Do the first dot point of the next topic in Modern (Germany)
10. Do the first dot point for the next topic in Ancient (Pompeii)

And for today I want to:
- finish my journeys summaries and analysis of supplementary texts
- plan a journeys essay

What are you guys planning?

syllabus dot points for every subject up to date.
read our novel 'enders game'
practice math equations regulary.
get as far ahead as possible.

im not setting glue goals, because contrary to most here, my parents want me to do no work and relax these holidays.
but i feel guilty doing so, so i set these loose goals.

Lets see:

- Read Emma and Antony and Cleopatra.
- Make Biology and Chemistry notes.
- Need to catch up on Chemistry work and Dot Point.
- Learn integration and further calculus.
- Revise parametrics and look over 4U topics.
- Make notes for Germany topic in MH and "What is History?" in Extension.
- Try to get at least half of the MW done.

Probabaly be the same as the previous years. Say that I'm going to do all this work, but end up starting only one or two days before school start.

I think it's wonderful that 08ers are showing such initiative. Don't forget to spend some time on Christmas with those you care for most whilst considering the harsh influence of powering Christmas lights on the world's natural rhythms.

Note: those you care for most does not mean your beloved blue biro and study book. :3

Best wishes
