Subjects?

[magikarp]

Do you guys think it would be easier to do one subject at a time for several weeks, or to do them all at once like at school?

I also should to decide what order I'll do them in if I do them one at a time. I need to do:

• chemistry
  physics
  advanced functions (basically pre-calculus)
  calculus
  programming (C++)
  English (I'm thinking of doing this last, because I don't care if I run out of time for it.)[/list:u]
  
  Halp/suggestions?
  
  Edit: I need to decide what to do for English too. I have textbooks for everything else, but I didn't bother to get one for English.

You're doing homeschooling aren't you?

Either way, it's much easier to do them in blocks. Partly because of something called "flow". It's this state you get in...you forget about time, work becomes effortless and you forget about everything but the task at hand. This state takes a little while to get into (at least 10 minutes), and also requires deep interest. School makes it almost impossible to get into this state, especially since you spend the first 10 minutes of working in class getting into the state (assuming you like the work), then within the next 50 your ripped out of it. Also, the longer you are in the state, the more powerful it becomes. Also note, that distractions ruin the state. So those noisy kids sitting next to you will ruin basically any chance you of achieving.

You will also usually spend at least 3+ hours in the flow state. Once I spent 10 or so hours in it. Started programming at about noon, and didn't stop till 11pm.

Also, if I were you, I'd just do the projects on impulse. Do them for any amount of time you want, in any order. Just make sure you finish any projects you start before moving on to a new subject. >.>

I've been at home for about the past 4 or 5 months, doing what ever I want. I keep coming back to programming. Thing is, for the past 2 weeks I've taken a break from it. I've been playing Go and learning about Go a bit obsessively for the past 2 weeks. 3 days ago I started designing a new game. It's coming along nicely. :]

For English...I don't know. If you are doing homeschooling, you can get away with just reading a book as English from what I know. Don't even have to do a report on it if you don't want to (I think).

Lastly, if you ever need help with C++, I'd be happy to help you. Just ask. :]

Yeah, I'm doing homeschooling.

I think I'll probably do it in blocks then.
