I just registered for my classes for this spring and next fall - and I've realized one thing:
FOUR DAY WEEKENDS ARE SWEET. Here's a link to my fall term schedule:
mischedule.com. Only one class on Monday (from 1-2) and none on Friday! Sweet!
Any other remarkable schedules to let me know about? I'm also taking a Psych class spring term - Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 1-4 p.m.
Honestly I'll call that a horrible schedule. You have to sit through 5.5 hours of boring class a day (I can barely get through 2 hours of class a day before my mind wants to wander). You won't get a decent lunch with only an hour and it being in the middle of the afternoon. You will have days when you have 3 or 4 tests all on the same day (that is a nightmare for tough majors - but since your classes look easy it might not be that bad). Both your mornings and your afternoons are shot and since you crammed all those classes together your evenings will likely be shot studying and doing homework. So basically for 3.5 days you are doing school non-stop - no going out with friends, no nothing - your friends will want to go out and party on Mon, Tues, or Wed and you cannot go since you are scrambling to keep up with a week's worth of work in just 3.5 days. If you are sick you are going to miss a heck of a lot of class (or in other words you cannot easilly take a day off if needed).
No to me the ideal schedule is spread out evenly. All the classes at roughly the same time (so you have every morning to sleep in or every afternoon to go have fun in the sun). Never having more than one test on the same day. Being able to do homework as I please since you have the full week to spread it out. If I'm sick or want to skip, no big deal - I'll just miss one class. Friends want to go out - fine I'll come too since I only have one class the next day, I have all the time in the world to eat lunch whenever I want and wherever I want. Everything the exact opposite of yours is what I call the best schedule ever.
