Studying From Home

Over the holiday break, we have all found ourselves locked at home very limited in terms of social interactions and are stuck twiddling our thumbs looking for something to do.  As a boarder there is slightly more scope for what we can do to keep ourselves occupied and many students have taken the opportunity to get ahead on some school work going into Term 2, including myself. Studying (especially during the holidays) can be incredibly painful when you are cooped up in a stuffy room for hours on end with an aching back and throbbing head.  Luckily, I have the mighty Macintyre River roaring out the front of the house and when I feel myself getting less efficient, I have moved down there at times to study and get a breath of fresh air.  I find working in an environment like this is incredibly beneficial and a major advantage of living rural.  Having a study break is even more rewarding when you can go for a paddle or fly off the rope swing.  It’s been great getting some work done by the river but now as it’s getting colder and colder I might find myself relocating to beside the fire!
