What to do in long year 11 summer holiday..

As above

Almost finished my GCSEs and I'm going to have a very long summer holiday! Only thing is I can see myself getting really bored and anticipating results day.
I'm going to try and get a summer job and I really should try and get some medical work experience but all the hospitals I've tried are booked for the summer :frown:

Obviously, I'm going to do the whole going out with friends thing but that gets boring!
Anyway has anyone got any weird and wonderful ideas on what I should do in the summer holiday?
Thanks! :biggrin:

i went down the beach like every week - great fun - we were down porthcall on the beach - moderately pissed - it was about 12 o clock at nite and about 10 of us went in the sea for a dip - rather cold but great fun.

Camping!!!!

I got stuck into some A level maths

Got a job and earned about £1.5k

it was a pretty good summer all in all

Might be a good idea to get a job whilst you've got time off and no coursework. It is something you can maybe put on a C.V or your UCAS form if you plan on going to university.

Same goes for work experience. There should be no reason you can't find something you enjoy. Maybe one day a week over the summer? Or maybe a few days for a set amount of weeks?

Go on a cheap holiday with your friends (e.g. camping for a few days away from you parents)

Start studying for you AS levels

Get a job (you can go on a shopping trip before you go back to school then :biggrin:

)

Volunteer at an old person's home (medical work experience)

Meet up with your friends and have a HUGE water fight (has to be done)

Learn a musical instrument

Start a get/keep fit regime

I'm hoping to do all of those (I already have the job, I'm just doing extra shifts & the old people's home sounded very positive about me volunteering once a week for a year or so) I'm also hoping to do 2-4 weeks work experience in hospitals, but you said you couldn't find any that woud let you...

A list of hospitals in London - just contact them/write a generic letter and send them off to all or most of them.

Edit: I also plan on playing The Sims 2 lots! I haven't played it since my exams started, plus, I'll have 6 days until school starts again after Apartment Life comes out :biggrin:

... Sad, I know...

I've got 11 weeks summer holiday :eek:

The worst thing is that I'm one of them sort of people who can get bored easily if I'm not doing something.

I'm gonna try my best to get a job
Play GTA IV because I'm not allowed to play it until my last exam :mad2:

Tidy my room because I'm being made to :frown:

I like my room how it is
Go Germany for 1 week
Play lots of badminton and tennis
Hang out with friends
Do some programming and web design
Moan about being bored :rofl:

I think of some more stuff later :biggrin:

Definitely a job- if you can't find one, make sure you have looked outside the box, and don't be afraid to go with places like McDonalds, its all great experiences

if you can't find/don't want a job, then do some volunteer work somewhere
