I had 4 exams to revise for, each of which make up 1/3 of my AS levels, and only 2 of which I'm vaguely ready for even now.

I personally find it much less cruel to assign homework on weekends or "vacations" (as opposed to weekdays.) On weekdays, I have anywhere between three hours and ten minutes to do homework. On weekends, I have about 20 "free" hours (rough estimate), which leaves plenty of room for other stuff too. And on vacations, I have nine days.

And of course, if someone's really into the family thing around holidays, they don't have to do homework on Christmas or whatever, because they have plenty of other days to do it.

Pff.

I have an exam on Thursday. It is about Greek Comedy plays. I have read each play once.

Here endeth the preparation.

I was assigned over 40 pages of reading and tons of math homework for just over the weekend. woo.

How long are/were your holidays, blueZ?

Just get it all done before the day/s where you're with your family, or after that or whatever

that's me.

40 pages isn't a lot... Unless it's a big book with micro print or something. Get a bowl of chips to go with your homework. mmm.

Is it the repetetive-easy question kind of math homework?

Our school gives 5 or 6 hard ones instead, more fun.

AGREE!!!

Eh. Maths homework over the holidays isn't that bad. You should have seen how much I got in my last year of school.

As my teachers said, it was a "semester break", not a holiday.

At the end of eighth grade, I was informed that I had to read A Tale of Two Cities over the summer. If I'd gotten a different teacher, I would've had to take the test about the book on the first day back. Bear in mind that the French Revolution wasn't even part of the social studies curriculum until tenth grade, that we were supposed to read it alone, and that the teachers didn't even discuss the book with us before we took the test, and you'll see why math homework over winter break isn't much of a big deal.

I have (all for Monday and none of them have been started):

An Essay for English
Personal Study Notes (including quotations) about Lord of the Flies (Which I haven't read fully)
A close reading to do for English
Maths Revision Exercises 2A & 2B


I probably have more stuff but I've forgotten it. I'm doing my close reading tonight, then my Maths (hopefully).

When I see his posts, I fill with righteous rage.

I had a whole bunch of notes to type up, cause my teacher is mad for notes, so I like typed up the first and last page of my notes, and in between just put a few paragraphs from a story I copy and pasted online.

I had to do a lot of coursework, and I chose not to. Oh well.
I ended up doing my French in school. But now I have to learn it... which I will do, because it's for my mock oral tests, and I'd be totally hopeless if I did it spontaneously. And I'm just doing maths in class. I should probably do it, but meh... I will eventually.

Bah; over my break, I studied trig independently, without even being in the class. Among other things...

There is always more to learn, it seems, and less time to do it in. The only way to do that is to squeeze in homework over breaks, or over weekends.

It's a sad fact of life. Going into my senior year in high school, I had to read the following books for English class over the summer:
Their Eyes were Watching God
Ethan Frome
A collection of Poe stories
Slaughterhouse Five
The Good Earth
East of Eden

And I'm glad I did. Except Ethan Frome. I freaking hated that book. I'm not a fan of banning books, but if someone agitated for that one to go on a list, I'd write them a check.

How I got a C I don't know.
