Yay or Nay?

It’s that time again…The time where you find yourself staying up at all hours of the night, just because you can. It’s the time where your normal routine gets a culture shock, where night becomes day, day becomes night and where you become so hazy that you don’t know what day it is. Yes, it’s the School holidays.

Being a year twelve student going into her final term of secondary education, this means that this is my last break before my HSC. Now, after getting through all the pressures and assessments that I was bombarded with last term, it is expected that these holidays will be just that, holidays. A time to breathe and relax until the whirlwind picks up again. While this all sounds so acceptable, I am faced with one problem: holiday homework. To add insult to injury, I also have another two assessments to be completed and study notes written for each subject.

Upon the arrival of these two weeks of ‘holidays’ I was faced with some options. I could procrastinate like I usually do and go into panic mode the day before school comes back where my hand rebels against me because it has forgotten how to write, or I could formulate a disgustingly organised routine and get things done accordingly.

I would like to say that the jury is still out on this one, but judging by the fact that I spent most of my night doing nothing in particular, that I didn’t wake up until 1:30pm and the fact that when I did finally wake up, I thought it was Tuesday, the verdict doesn’t look good.
