10 things to do during a boring study leave:

My college closed last month for a really unending study leave for an exam which was more than 30-40 days away. And as you can realize that is all the holiday we are going to get before and after the exam, so it’s like our vacation and study leave have been clubbed together. Believe me or not, but I am not enjoying it, you can’t really enjoy yourself because you have the constant nagging knowledge about the exam date. And still have too many days to go, before the very same nagging exam. Which makes you put off the studying ritual for one more day(s). (every day I wake up and solemnly swear to myself that “I will study tomorrow”, the problem is, I do that daily) so I give you a poor bored soul’s guide to spend your study holidays.
10 things to do during a boring study leave:


1. Know the schedule of your favorite TV programs by heart, also memorize the repeat telecast time in case you miss the program the previous day. The TV at my home is the sole reason for my increased weight. But it sure get you by some of the driest, boring, unbearable hours of the day.

2. Learn the names of the subject, and a few lessons (just in case). And whatever you do keep the books in the room you spend the most time.

3. Name all your toes and fingers, and I’m not talking about names like Bob, Bill or Raj.

4. Measure the length of your hair at the start of the leave, and measure it each week. And finally at the end of the last free week calculate the rate of growth of your hair. (all eccentric scientist do it)

5. Develop new activities like counting the number of tiles or marble blocks in your house, talking to yourself (have a debate), play X/o or tic tac toe by yourself, collect chocolate wrappers and make cute dolls/toys with them.

6. If you have a pet dog/cat call it by a silly name for the entire length of your leave like…..(“meow” for your dog, and “bow wow” for your cat) and see if it responds to the new name at the end of the time.

7. Try to break the Guinness record for the longest time slept by a person, at least the limca book of records one.

8. Listen to a perfectly good song; make your own version with funny lyrics make sure you can sing it in the same tone as the original song.

9. Watch a movie and memorize entire scenes, as in you must be able to reenact the scene perfectly. Make sure the movies you select are really popular and scene an unforgettable one. (like jack Nicholson’s “You can’t handle the truth” scene)

10. Well if this stuff doesn’t finally bore you to the extent of finally realizing studying is less boring that all this, consult a good psychiatrist. The final thing to do in say the last 4-5 days study like it is the last 5 minutes before the exam.
