Friend staying with me before exams
My friend is coming to stay with me for two weeks from overseas in my september school holidays (i'm from queensland australia) problem is I'm in year 12, and my end of year exams start on the 27th of october, and he goes back on the 2nd of october. I'm really worrying now that having him stay with me will infringe on my marks as I won't get much done when he's here. I know this sounds selfish, but these exams are very important. So, what should I do? Does everyone think after he goes back I'll have enough time to concentrate on studying? Or should I try and reschedule the trip?
I'm probably worrying way too much!! lol. Thanks for your help all.

If he is truly your friend then you should be honest with him. Tell him that you are so glad that he is coming and that you will plan some special things to do with him......BUT.....also tell him that you have to set aside some time to study. You could study one afternoon/night and then "play" the next. You could trade off. For the times that you have to study, have something for him to do. Go to a movie rental place and rent several movies that he's been wanting to see. Have plenty of good snacks and munchies for him to eat while he's watching movies. Rent video games, if you have the equipment to play them. Guys love to hang out and veg. He'll understand if you tell him straight out, how important this is....remember, make the time you do spend with him fun. It is quality time, not quantity that counts! You are a very responsible and sensible person and I am proud of you for thinking of your future, instead of just sacrificing it for the moment.

Maybe you could study a little before and he comes and then maybe while he is there u can even ask him if he wants to help you study a little. You don't have to spend the whole vacation studying just a little, maybe an hour or so. And if he doesn't wanna help you study then just tell him well since you don't wanna help me then im going to just study a little on my own. Then give him something to keep him occupied.

you could always start revising early so do the revision before your friend comes do little amounts often and make sure you understand it so then when he leaves you will not have to revise so much in a panic you could always catch an hour or so while he is staying with you.
hope i helped

You should still plan on the trip but pick out a few hours of the day that you are going to study that way when he leaves you don't feel stressed.
