Hey @Boxmore 

It’s completely understandable to need the full break to recharge after exams. I don’t think there’s really a right or wrong way to do things. Whatever works best for each individual.

For me, my unit sites go up a week before the semester starts. I usually spend a couple days during the week organising my schedule, making my note documents look the way I want them to, and starting the content for week one. I like to start early so that I have a bit of a buffer in case something goes wrong, and I can’t study as much as I would like to. Usually, I'm able to stay a bit ahead and reduce the amount of end of semester stress. The amount of prep work I do also depends on how much reading the subjects. If I have a bunch of reading heavy subjects, I prioritise getting the first week of reading done before I start the semester.
