<p>i know there have already been many variations of this post.. but here it is yet again.</p>
<p>what is an average weekday at cornell? how do you partition time?</p>
<p>It varies, depending on whether or not you go to class (most don't take attendence) and on how well you set your schedule up/how many classes you're taking. I don't think the workload here is too bad, and most of my classes either teach from the book or put their stuff online so I don't need to go to many of them.</p>
<p>Wake up, eat, shower, class, work, gym, eat, go out for the next six weeks. Repeat.</p>
<p>I'm glad you partake so much that you remembered to remind me. Tell your "accomplice" I say hello.</p>
<p>No homework? Sweet!</p>
<p>Today felt average; there's always a few unique things to do, so you know, use your imagination and substitute something more characteristic of yourself. Today is a heavy day for me class wise:</p>
<p>8AM: wake up, shower, hygine stuff, dress, check email, scarf a breakfast of milk from the carton and rice cakes, and walk to class in the lightly falling snow.</p>
<p>9:05: Tonal Theory Lecture</p>
<p>9:55: grab coffee and granola between classes</p>
<p>10:10: Musicianship Section</p>
<p>11:15: Calculus Lecture</p>
<p>12:25PM: Physics Lecture</p>
<p>1:15 Finally a break; scarf some more granola, bottled water, and madly study the spanish/do the homework I was too lazy and distracted to do the night before.</p>
<p>2:30: Spanish Section</p>
<p>3:20: Freedom, sort of. I go to the registrar/bursar office to figure out why I am not officially registered--my parents did not pay a $450 bill from last semester; they should hop on that.</p>
<p>~4:00 Finish walk to my dorm. I will unwind for half an hour probably. (this is right now, btw)</p>
<hr>
<p>6:40: Sit-down house dinner at the fraternity I am pledging...on the other side of campus.</p>
<p>(somewhere in here i'll probably have a little free time, but not enough to get much work done; also, this overlaps with a 1-credit review class I signed up for; since this dinner is regular, I am dropping the review class, but no biggie, it wouldn't have helped my GPA anyway)</p>
<p>9:00: Meeting near my dorm with other pledges at the fraternity. We plan to decide where we will eat together on fridays to get to know each other better.</p>
<p>9:30: Academic work. I will do as much reading/problem sets/studying/language practice as I can until a reasonable hour for friday.</p>
<p>Somewhere between 12AM and 2: I will get ready for bed and go to sleep. Sometimes I walk across the street to get a sandwich in this period of time.</p>
<p>7:30am - Wake up and take a shower. Drink a cup of tea and turn on my computer.
8:30am - Head out to my first lecture in Baker lab. Try to keep myself warm enough on my way there.
9:05am - First lecture of the day.
9:55am - Run across the campus and attend my second lecture.
11:00am - Run across the campus again and attend my third lecture.
12:05pm - Run across the campus and go work in my lab
4pm~5pm - Try to finish up things in the lab and head back to collegetown.
5:30pm - Enjoy my first "real" meal, frozen dinner or take out.<br>
6:00pm - Relax a little bit and watch Simpsons.
7-8pm - Try to do some homework, reading or just slack off for a bit.
8-9pm - Go to the gym and do some exercise.
9-10pm - Take a shower and continue to work on my homework or just slack off.
10-11pm - Read a little more on my bed and catch up on some sports news.
11pm - Sleep.</p>
<p>That's my typical MWF. My Tuesdays and Thursdays are more or less the same with one fewer lecture and couple more hours in the lab.</p>

<p>That is a Wed schedule. Other days has less classes but more work (I have a job at the physics dept). I figure this semester will be more work, but I will be way better equipped to deal with it. Maybe have more time for fun on the weekends and such.</p>
<p>lets keep posting daily schedules here guys, for like a whole week; that way people will start to get an idea :D</p>
<p>why do you guys work out? it seems like you hardly eat anything... i mean, granola, as a meal?</p>
<p>haha sparty lookin good for the female cornellians
;)</p>
<p>is it really that cold there?</p>
<p>Its fairly cold, though not ridiculously so.</p>
<p>lol thanks guys. The schedule looks do-able and human now that I can see that it's not something like, "8:00-12:00 class; 12:00-12:00 homework, study, and study."</p>
<p>Cornell is very do-able, I spend far more time drinking/****ing around/playing videogames/watching TV than I do studying and I got a 3.72 last semester.</p>
<p>sweet, so kinda like senior yr... are you in a frat?</p>
<p>do people at cornell get together weekly to watch shows, like lost and 24? any avid fans out there?</p>
