<p>"If you couldn't attend because of a work study job, switch jobs. Classes should always be put before the job."</p>
<p>Not everyone is rich :)</p>
<p>Well, neither am I. I am also on work-study. But your employer should understand - when I couldn't get enough hours in during office hours because of class he let me be at the office by myself in the evening. </p>
<p>You are there to study first and foremost, not to work.</p>
<p>I mean, I agree with you, I'm just saying that some people HAVE to work the full 20 hours, and alot of jobs on campus aren't terribly accomodating.</p>

<blockquote> <p>C'mon guys, don't be so hard on Eudey... Granted, a lot of the test was rote memorization, but she did emphasized in class that the structure of the Fed was probably going to be on the test. She even showed us the video! That part was definitely the easiest part of the final for me. About the class in general, I feel I learned about the same I did in Micro...</p> </blockquote>
<br>
<p>She did make a big deal about the video. But still... :|</p>
<p>Lol, OK, yea, the tests could be better and the material more challenging/less memorization. I guess the intermediate econ courses are more like that (hopefully). And I totally agree on how easy it was to fall asleep on Meyerson B1.</p>
<p>I got a C- in a class that was supposed to be an "Easy A"</p>
<p>Now I realize "Easy A" does not mean "you can sit around all day playing World of Warcraft and expect good grades"</p>
<p>A day in the life of this particular Penn Student involved went something like this:</p>
<p>-Wake up around 2 PM because you went to bed at 7 AM playing computer games
-Skip lunch because you're too lazy to walk a few yards to the dining hall
-play computer games
-start homework at 4 am
-pass out at 10 after turning homework in at the last minute
-wake up at 3 pm, oh crap you're late for lab
-come back from lab, play computer games until 7 am again</p>
<p>No, I didn't read the rest of this thread.</p>
<p>No, don't be like me.</p>
<p>^ that was 2 days, I apologize.</p>
<p>WoW...all I can say to the fact that ANY penn students have time for that is wow...</p>
<p>how can finals be a normal thing? they only clog up the end of the semester. rather, i think midterms are so normal. they're kind of always coming.</p>
<p>my usual day: wed and fri when i have only 1 class
8.30 get up, slam the snooze button and get back to sleep
10.00 actually get up spontaneously and try to think of some food before class
12.00 class
13.00 done with class, grab some more food, try to pack as many books as possible and migrate to Van Pelt or Biomed library (far enough so i dont feel like going back to sleep)
afternoon: do homework and study for midterms
before dinner: gym for an hr.
after dinner: work, read, and work</p>
<p>Monday, Tuesday and Thursday: Class from 9 AM - 4.30 PM
After class: if no midterm that night --> go to the gym and then dinner and then study/try to finish homework</p>
<p>If there's a midterm that night --> study and cram and dinner and midterm. got a bunch of classes with late-night midterms though. Then, after midterm --> change and go right to the gym. after gym --> slack off.</p>
<p>but i do have time for clubs and meetings if they call me for that though.</p>
<p>My tuesdays were fun last semester.</p>
<p>9:30: Wake Up
9:35-10:45 Shower and Get Ready, Get all my books for the day, Check Email before I leave
10:50 Eat what I dubbed "the 5 minute breakfast": Two Glasses of Water and a bowl of Cornflakes in my dining hall
11:00 -11:50 Sociology 137 class, one of the more popular classes at Penn. Also said to be an easy A that turned out to be kinda hard.
12:00 - 12:50 Language Class, good in that you make some friends and acquaintances in the small classes, bad in that you can't fall asleep
1:00 - 1:30 Eat a hurried lunch at Houston Hall, usually one of the Chicken and Rice bowls</p>
<p>1:30-4:30 Another smaller Class that you couldn't fall asleep in, but the teacher gave out candy which was nice.
5:00 - 6:00 - Running at the Gym
6:00-7:00 - Eating
7:00 - 10:00 Reading for my classes while getting distracted on facebook and by my friends on my floor
10:00-12:00 My floor would get together every Tuesday at Van Pelt and two students would teach for an hour on something they'd like to share. I never did anything like this before, and it's kinda nerdy but it was fun.</p>
<p>12:00 - 3:00 Facebook, talk to friends on my floor, and finish any outstanding readings. Fall asleep.</p>
<p>One thing that changes up the course of a typical day is an event on Penn's campus, of which they are many. I usually check pennportal's calendar everyday to see if there's something I'd like to attend of this nature. One notable one was I saw Kevin Smith, director of Clerks and Chasing Amy, speak at Irvine Auditorium.</p>
<p>The life of a liberal arts student is very different than that of an engineer. While most have 5 classes that account for 15 hours a week (17 if one were a language class), the amount of time spent reading can be borderline ridiculous, at least for me. Next semester I'm taking 6 classes, one of them macroecon in fact, it will not be fun.</p>
<p>i havent read the entire thread, so i dunno if my schedule is unique.</p>
<p>im in wharton, and im a whartonite who likes to sleep in. thus, my schedule goes like this, in general.</p>
<p>mon-thurs:
around 11: wake up
shower
around 12 usually: first class (optional)
usually now i eat lunch (often at Hemo's, i love that truck)
around 2: second class (optional)
around 3: third class (optional)
sometime between noon and 6: one more class (optional)
dinner
7PM - 3 AM : nothing, sprinkled with work if i have an assignment due, although my mostly big classes dont demand much work till midterms. if no work, im chilling full-time</p>
<p>when i say class is optional, what i usually mean is that i pretty much will just go to 1 or MAYBE 2 of my classes per day. i usually have maybe 3, but since im in mostly big lecture classes with online notes, i dont bother going and just study before a midterm. my GPA is decent too, i have a cumulative 3.4 GPA, including my second semester, which was dominated with the time commitment and very common drunkenness due to pledging. yes. life at penn is awesome. you sleep a lot.</p>
<p>and oh yeah, friday: zero classes. nothing. nada. zip.</p>
<p>did i mention that life at penn is awesome?</p>
<p>note: not everyone has this schedule. you have to be cunning like me and fix it that way. but in wharton its easy to make your schedule like this.</p>
