I've been in Puerto Rico for the past week now. I haven't once touched my study materials but that's because I've been taking a less stereotypical approach to vacation. I don't really lie on the beach or take tours. I walk around ...pretty much the whole day but for the next few days, I'm going to start doing what the title says now that my semester is over.
To study on vacations, bring something light with you. Flashcards, review book, as long as it's under 2 pounds, it's probably a good bet. This is hard to do with a large group of people around. They might look at you strangely or diaspprove. So be strong and peer pressure resistant if you want to do this.
1) Use dead time to study. When you're in the car/bus/van for more than 30 minutes going somewhere, you can look out the window when you're bored but otherwise, you can read and try to learn since you have to spend time on transportation anyway. This is also great for airplane rides.
2) Use some of your rest time. Spending time on the beach and trying to get that tan? This is perfect way for you to either be put to sleep or get some learning done. Don't just lie on the beach towel. Bring your study materials with you and study when you get bored. Waiting on line to get in some museum or restaurant? Keep your ears open and try recalling whatever you read for the day. No one has to know.
3) If you're really geeky, you can play a game involving whatever you are studying with your friends who may also be studying the same thing. Alcohol and questions on medicine can be great fun. The ones who don't know anything can either be punished with more drinking or less drinking, depending on the desire of the group.
These are some ideas I've been thinking about in terms of studying on vacation. Do you have any? (Because I really need some more when I go away again in two weeks) Thanks.
