I can’t decide yet if I like the 1 week breaks that QUT throws at us every 5 or 10 weeks mid semester to ‘give us a break’.
See the quotes?
Technically yes, it is to give us a break, but little do you know that you will be spending half the time being in a dilemma over if you should focus more on your work, or to get out to have some fun so as not to spend the entire break studying. And of course, the break is soooooo long too, ONE WHOLE WEEK! (Sense the sarcasm please)
So with the dreaded one-week break now officially upon us (actually on Monday), what can you actually do to make life more productive? Apart from studying non stop and going out ALL the time, here’s a quick list of 33 things you can do from me to make your life lean towards the “Hey, I actually did something this week!”
1) Sign up with the Real World Placement Program
2) Head down to the coast to get some of the best Fish & Chips ever.
3) Check out Costco and maybe get a membership.
4) Go parasailing at Gold Coast!
5) See some sand dunes at Sunshine Coast.
6) Create individual word docs on your desktop for each assignment.
7) Maybe get a couple of introductions written.
8) Then maybe get a couple of references done.
9) Catch up with all your lectures (like seriously).
10) Check on your friends whom you haven’t seen in the longest time!
