What to do for a month and a half?

Alright so my Christmas break just started and.. I'm bored out of my mind! Today's the first day and well.. I haven't had much to do. It's been the usual, botting, gaming with friends but I seem to get bored very quickly. I spent the last 3 hours watching TV, being unbelievably bored I nearly fell asleep. I know some of you might say go out have fun, blah blah blah (I did, and got bored eventually).

The problem is, when I go outside with my friends we always somehow manage to break something or get into lots of trouble. I've also seen all the movies so just waiting for The Hobbit to come out.

What do you guys suggest I do for the next 1 and a half months? (Preferring something indoors (out of trouble and boiling hot) that I can do which is useful, enjoyable and passes time.

PS. No more maths.. Please…

Learn to script/ improve your scripting knowledge? :D

Indeed. How about… trying a new sport (that is winter-friendly) or perhaps start learning a new language?

meh, you have to have an artistic eye tbh. I feel that I have a bit of a nack but I never bothered to learn any good techniques. Anything you'd recommend?

Do you think you'd like skiing DJV? I love it, it's pretty much the only sport I do in the winter. I tried snowboarding too but I wasn't that good. I'd recommend one of those if you're looking for something active :)

Do some pushups until you can't physically do anymore. Then eat some eggs and drink a glass of milk. Then the next day repeat with pull-ups.

You should have good results 90 days later. :]

Summer break, not going to prison ;)

Getting fit / building some muscle can be fun though and good for gour health, good way to kill some time

During the holidays, I would go for 2000 posts. And while on that road, get some more green squares!

Or…If I had time, I would see all the functions there are in the library, and get some ideas for a script!

Working out and other exercises can be fun.
Scripting/learning new things aswell.

I'm going to learn to script and work out! And hey you never know when you'll go to prison!

I'm in your same state. I live in the US and saw The Hobbit on Sunday and thought it was pretty good. Never read the books or watched the original LOTR though, just tagged along with friends.

I do try scripting from time to time but I get tired pretty quickly trying to remember everything, reading back over tutorials about functions and things ahhhhh! But other than that I do love it when I've finished a script (made a script for an online game that the whole community of that game is using) is a great accomplishment. I'll give it a shot. :)

It's Summer here in Australia sooo.. we're in different seasons I guess. Swimming is a great summer sport for me. I'm doing Japapnese at school next year so I think I can get a head start on it!

Already tried to with Cadobe CS6 but I'm not very good at it. Lots of buttons etc, can't really remember much. I'll PM you my skype. :p

It's summer here (Australia) for Christmas so.. what would be an equivalent of Skiing for summer? I do go skiing in Winter and it's great fun! Except for the few accidents I've had. :redface:

I do go for bike rides from time to time with a few family members. My dad's been telling me to lift weights but my friend advises that I shouldn't because 'it makes you short'. I'm not sure on this theory myself but I'm lying down and not standing up so would that make my arms short? :confused:

2K posts would be easily in the range with the time I have, but I'm not going to try to plan it because well.. "spammer" :l On the road to more green squares it is! Guess I'm going to have to start writing some tutorials and making a few scripts. :)

Exactly what I'm doing but.. hopefully let's not aim for prison. ;)

Been seeing great reviews about the movie, I've seen the LOTR series but haven't read any of the books (I don't want to). After I read the books for Harry Potter and then watching them it was vaguely disappointing. Imagination is a wayyy better source of entertainment. But other than that, I'll be looking forward to watching it! It's another triology if I'm correct?

Could you PM me your list please? :3 Don't know which ones to watch!

Ahh that sucks, but.. the less time you have the more you can make out of it. I may have 1 and a half months but if I don't do anything good till the last few days, then it'll feel like I haven't made use and done anything out of it at all!

I'll be going for that but I'll need a script. Back to YoHoJo's tutorials! It's Christmas after all, being with your family isn't it? :)

Thanks guys, I'll be:

1. Learning/Improving Scripting Knowledge
2. Building muscle/working out
3. Not land in prison
4. Watching movies

^Hope the list lasts me long for the next few weeks. :D

Grab an instrument and learn to play a bit on it! Doesn't matter how or what but it's a lot of fun to do :)

I'm getting a Ukelele this weekend for Christmas. Can't wait to play it, got, ''I got a feeling'' mastered. ;)

oh dude that is sweet! I totally want a Ukelele soon…my current new instrument to play is the harmonica lol.

Whoever said lifting weights makes you short is dead wrong.

I second avoiding prison. That would be a terrible waste of free time… Then again it would give you a longer break from school.
Languages (human and computer) are both decent ways to spend your time, as would movies or working out.
But a ukelele… You should dedicate your time to learning to play something ridiculous on it… Like Bohemian Rhapsody or The Metal or Master Exploder by Tenacious D. I bet any of those would be awesome and garner you permanent fame.
