Summary for the long holiday

Tomorrow marks the start of JC. Here, I'm just going to briefly summarise how I wasted spent my time in this long holiday.

First, I travelled to two places--US California and Fujian province. The former is a school trip while the latter is a family trip. The school trip was very enriching and quite fun although I don't know many people. The family trip is as though I'm trapped in a delusional land, where I didn't behave like myself at all.

For the rest of my time, most were spent on minecraft/online. *guilty*  Well I did /attempt/ to enrich myself. For example, I learnt a couple of things at Khan Academy. In sequence, the new topics I have learnt are conic sections, imaginary numbers and implicit differentiation. I did up a few chapters of my condensed maths notebook. Then I discovered openMIT and watched two videos of the lesson on Introduction to computer science course. Should have watched more. What was I doing in minecraft? Building a castle. Aaaannnndd I still haven't complete it but it looks awesome. I was also building a horse stable and a horse evaluation centre. Horses are fun.

Then I also bought and borrowed lots of books. But, I haven't read most of them yet. The only book I finished is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy which is awesome. And then I started on a few others. Okay I'm feeling very guilty now.

Also I downloaded some fantastic lectures on introduction to ethnics by a lecturer/professor in Oxford. Unfortunately I've only managed to finish listening 1.5 lessons.

For the rest of my time, I spent a few days organising my secondary school stuff, finished Chem and almost LA. The files of other subject are still in chaos. Other than organising, it will be daydreaming, going facebook and watching youtube, going quora which I recently discovered.

Actually, the majority of my time is still used for...sleeping.

After this brief summary I realise I have a lot yet to be done. Here are some things I must do before lesson officially starts:

1. For goodness sake clean my room and organise my secondary school things. Keep the unnecessary things, plan on functions of different parts of my room, remove all unnecessary/spoiled/useless things and make space for JC files.

2. Start calculus lessons on Khan Academy. Also finish the 40 videos on thermodynamics.

3. Continue computer science course at openMIT.

4. Continue lectures on ethnics. Preferably get a notebook to write down key ideas.

5. Revise for Maths, Physics and Chemistry. Especially maths and physics. I've forgotten most of the stuff.

6. Finish reading all the newspaper cuttings I've done for the year.

7. Read the library books as much as possible before they expire.

Hopefully I can finish half of what I've listed here.
