It takes me 9 hours from when I get on my bus of a morning until I get home at 4:30. Then I sorta read what I'm meant to do, mentally plan, or generally up-date my maths notes or organise my 2nd Chem folder (did HSC course last year, re-doing it, so I'm trying to be more organised)have dinner, then start essays/research. With breaks in between to keep me focused, unless it's a synth essay where I just start and keep going. I get into bed about 12-ish, fall asleep 1:30-ish. Then wake up at 6, lie in bed for half an hour, and get out of bed around quarter to. I wish year 12s could get sport off to do work, it'd be easier.

your such a model student ! my time managment is really bad. usually i mentally plan what to do, but end up focusing on only one thing for a VERY long time. after that i can't really be bothered starting on something else ><" hoping that i change this habit SOON. i haven't really done work past 9 since the start of the term ..xx__savannah said:
Try not to sleep for short periods of time at random times of the day, it really does stuff your body's sleep patterns up, just save it up till night time when you can get a good solid 7 hours. 7 is all I need.hopeles5ly said:

My Eng teacher thought I fell asleep one lesson watching a video (but I had my eyes closed because when I looked at the interviewee, I was trying to figure out if his hands were deformed, and couldn't understand his accent, so I figured I'd just listen) and she threw her book down on my desk, so I'm not trying in my subjects with her again. There are comfy chairs in the library reserved for seniors during my online lessons, but the librarian would use his whistle to wake me up.
I don't think teachers at my school would let me, lol.

I get 1 or 2 study lessons a week, and they're too noisy so that's impossible, unfortunately. And my bus is semi-public, so you get crazy drivers going over roundabouts and stopping suddenly, definately not advisable, unfortunately.
LOL, my Eng/RE teacher constantly tells me she's worried about my HSC mark because she doesn't think I'm organised or dedicated enough. Not that she's even checked my folders to see how much work I've done.
I've started to dedicating one subject per night study/revision because I get so focused on that one subject I'll write wrong words, or I'll analyse a poem referring to the Economic factors or something like that.

I couldn't survive like that. After the odd party going to bed at 3-4 I can be up and active at 7 and stay like it during work, but if I had those sorta hours everyday I just couldn't.miss_gtr said:You are hopeless woman!
U think YOUR TIRED? Be a man. Back in my highschool days, I slept at 2-3, woke up at 5am......and I was a bloody livewire! Though, in my time off before uni... i was awake till 5am...and didnt wake till around 12 daily. So now.. I have 6am wakes to go to uni... and I dont respond to the alarm.. and im tired as hell! But... yeah, throughout the day im tired..when I get home i'm tired.. Ive been tired all week.......

people should exercise more regularly. it is proven to help you sleep better and sounder. to fit more exercise in ur busy timetables, you can either a couple of things:
e.g. if u catch a bus, get off one stop eariler and walk to ur intended bus stop.
at lunchtimes or even at break, play some sport. a good old favourite is handball. the game can get very addictive. VERY.
after school, do some sport as well, even if it is playing some basketball, or jogging.
walk faster or jog to classes.
there are plenty others as well. also, eat well, drink lots of water and always try to be optomistic. stress and unhappiness are not good for you.
contrary to the time most people say its bedtime, for me it was 11pm, 11:30pm at the latest. get at least 7 hrs sleep, 8 hrs is optimal.
if ur really really really busy with assessments, it doesnt matter. ur sleep and health is more important. this means u need to manage your time better. cut down on ur play time a bit. perhaps do some maths homework or finish a chapter of ur perscribed text on the bus or on the train.
all these little things you do in between will add up in the end, and it pays off

Nah, I know of only one teacher at my school who uses/knows about BOS, my old Chem teacher who ran off notes from here because they were more concise than her own.hopeles5ly said:

I've tried telling my teachers that, but they seem to think that their subject is the only one worth bothering with.Mountain.Dew said:
And I do homework and drafts of assignments on the bus, and half of my lunch-times. My day and schooling just sucks, lol.

Awesome teacher, nonetheless. I wish I had her for Chem again this year, have a new teacher, in a class of year 11 accelerants and 4 year 12s (and a friend who also is repeating because she was in hospital and couldn't do the exam) so she gives too much homework out, thinking that as long as the Year 11s can handle it, it's fine -.- All the Y12s hate it. It's also bad because we have to use the scaffold for a particular verb each week, and having done no other sciences, I only know the concise way to answer the verb, not the extended way she expects. So much of my homework is Chem, I would have about 15 hours (including lessons) a week if I didn't choose to repeat.hopeles5ly said:
I think M.D's suggestion of excercising is a good idea to tire the body, making you tired at the end of the day. Attend your training sessions, and weekend games to keep your lifestyle more active. You like sleep don't you? But I guess that's what you did in the holidays, I know it's different now with school and and school work happening now. You should get some sleep mate, aim for before midnight if you can.

that's just like my RE teacher. she gives us SOO MUCH HW. the other day she gave us a whole essay which she expected us to do in 45mins because thats the how much time you will get in the hsc to do it ! sif at this stage we could do that esp since we just started the topic not so long agoxx__savannah said:

Yeah, I was meant to be doing practice exam questions for RE tonight, too, but we did 30mins on inter-faith dialogue on Monday, and then today she gives us questions on religious adherance, and the common features of inter-faith dialogue and religious harmony. I can get 2 sentences, and we're meant to do a page. I don't even remember even hearing 'religious harmony' or 'adherance' this year, apart fro 'harmony' in the aims of inter-fath dialogue.hopeles5ly said:
