Today I want to cry
I have just found out how much holiday homework I have been set.
I wanted to do my Technology Coursework (40 A3 sheets
), write my Frech orals, learn them (all 200 paragraph long questions), praisee a year's History notes, revise History, learn my solubility rules for Chemistry, and some other, more general revision.
I was prepared for a nasty summmer (but I knew that I have to work hard, I do have GCSEs next year)
Then today, one of the Director of Study's minions appeared in my Tutor Group's door, holding very many ringbinder folder, which each contained so many worksheets and mini-projects/essays for each subject as to write off the summer by itself.
There is so much work there, that if I enter holiday mode, I will take too many breaks, and won't get it all done.
The only solution is the stick to normal timetable, and normal alarm clock. I have done this once before, during a Christmas holiday, but the summer is twice as long. I still need to plan out a timetable, but I can see many a late night trying to get that day's planned work finished, and I can't see any break at the end. In fact, I can't see me getting it all finished, even if I work Saturdays.
The deadline is actually next June, but I need to get it done this summer so as to leave the Christmas and Easter holidays free for revision.
We are going camping to Scotland for two weeks, but I feel that I may need to stay back in camp every other day.
What with this Summer, and revising over the next four holidays and half terms, I have a feeling that the next year is going to feel very long and never ending indeed!
