Winter Hols

My winter holidays have started, and they have been OK till now. I got average results (around the upper seventies, lower eighties) so my vacation has not been completely amazing but good enough- it could've been worse.

There are different scenarios that affect my vacations, for example your exam results, if your exam is after the exams etc; Usually a 'good' vacation scenario would be:
  • You've just started a term and the exams are far away
  • Your exams are over and the results come right after it (this way the marks don't affect the vacation. This can be both good and bad)
The worst vacation scenarios I've experienced are
  • Your term just finished before the holidays and your exams start right after them
  • Your exams just ended before the vacations and your report card was pretty ugly
In my experience I think the latter scenario is the worst ever. Of course, the best vacations would be that your exams ended and you got the most amazing marks. I've experienced such vacations too and they're like heaven.

So a lot depends on whether you do well in your studies or not. During the exams and before I always think about when the exams will get over, and I'll be free. But then the exams do get over and the results come and then... all my plans ruined! I guess many students my age find themselves in the same predicament (unless you're one of those super-nerds with an incomprehensible capacity for work).

So, my advice is, study hard, work hard before the exams, 'cuz the fruits of your labor will be much enjoyed during the holdays that follow. Yeah, I know, I sound like a grumbling old parent, but well, it is true!
