    For the 2 weeks we get off for Easter, should we be doing loads of study!? For the second week I'm going to be doing Easter revision courses and I just found out I can go on a ski trip for the first week if I want! I don't know is it a good idea or not. Should I be spending that time studying??

    If you have good time management skills, then it is possible to take a week off like that. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Remember, Easter Revision courses are useful, but they are not enough on their own - you need to study everything you learn at those courses!

    Remember the orals start the 12th of April ie. as soon as we return from Easter holidays. Easter probably will be a really useful time to get as much as possible in this department done unless you're fluent in your languages!

    Go skiing, study now to make up for it. If you are sking in a place that speaks one of the languages you are studying even better!

    Well, what are the chances that if you stay at home you'll have great intentions, and get feck all done anyway?

    don't worry about it. you'll only burn yourself out if you keep studying. and if you don't go skiing you'll keep thinking about it. so just go and enjoy it
