Four day weekend or spread out courses?

<p>I'm finalizing my schedule and Tuesdays and Thursdays are looking pretty hectic. From noon until 6pm I'm going from Management -> Math 114 -> Finance 103 -> Writing seminar. The plus side is that I have nothing on Mondays OR Fridays. Even Wednesday is just two recitations and then a BFS seminar. </p>

<p>Does anyone have experience with a three day week? I can't change Management or Finance, so there'll be a 1.5 hour gap if I change Math to MWF.</p>

<p>Here are two pics of the different schedules</p>

<p>Three day week: <a href="http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs198.snc1/6694_1072351503461_1666350060_243696_3355086_n.jpg%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs198.snc1/6694_1072351503461_1666350060_243696_3355086_n.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Five day week: <a href="http://imgur.com/Xv8Ap.png%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://imgur.com/Xv8Ap.png&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>omg we have the same schedule! My WRIT seminar might be 4th on the end of the management-math-finance progression if I don’t get my first choice WRIT course (2 alts, both put me into that time slow) but I guess we can walk to classes together =)</p>

<p>If I were you, I would knock it out on tues and thursday…not speaking from experience though just personal preference… also, what finance class is that?</p>

<p>I’ve had four days a week before. The three day weekend made life easier for me as I spent about half my weekeneds at home[NYC], so atleast it was worth making a trip home for three rather than two days. If you can handle the in-a-row schedule, I would probably go with that[but [preferences vary]. I’m taking 6 c.u. for the fall, with six hours of class on each of three days[two of which have 6 hour blocks].</p>

<p>whats ure major??
i would definitely go for the 4 day weekend.</p>

<p>4 day weekend hands down! I’m sooo jealous.</p>

<p>Yeah…I have to say that I’d love a four day weekend, so that I could actually sleep once in a while.</p>

<p>Go for the 4 day weekend. 4 1.5 hour classes in a row won’t be fun, so test it out the first week. If it works, and you don’t have 4 midterms on one day, it’ll be worth it.</p>

<p>my brother did that at penn and loved getting them all done in a row. some people like breaks in between though, i agree to just try it out and see if you like it.</p>

<p>Since your 5-day week is pretty much a 3-day week with an hour on Monday and Friday, I would definitely just go for the 3-day week and have some fun with long weekends.</p>

<p>like everyone else said, go for the four day weekend. More reasons why: weekends start on Thursdays anyway since Friday classes are basically just recitations (though you would have a math class at 10AM, which is terribly lame). Many times freshmen find themselves completely useless on Sundays before 5PM, as they’re entirely too hung over to function. Mondays off makes it so that you can just sleep it off and not worry about it! haha</p>

<p>Seriously though, four day weekends are awesome. I’m doing it this semester, but I’m jealous of your schedule. I’ve got class 9-noon, 1:30-3, 3:30-5 on TR and 2-5 on W… it’d be nice to sleep an extra hour like you can!</p>

<p>I would agree with the four day weekend. You have a longer period of time to do your homework and you still can have fun. Only issue is that when it comes down to exams, your going to hate that part. But I think you’ll make it through just fine.</p>

<p>haha wow–are you in rupee? Because if you are, I was going to be in your mgmt group (same recitation time)…but I had to switch cohorts because of my language. Too bad.
I am very jealous of your 4 day weekend, btw.</p>

<p>Nope. Cohort Rand. I asked my adviser if I could switch the recitation because I wanted to take beginners Japanese but she said they don’t change them unless there are extenuating circumstances and I’ve already fulfilled the language requirement…</p>

<p>oh (I was too lazy to go find my sheet and find out what section number I was in lol).
They really wouldn’t let you change?!? Tell them there’s a girl (if you want my name pm me) who switched out of her section so she could take Japanese–I’m going to be taking japanese 311 (so the language req is way way filled) and they changed my entire cohort, not just the recitation. That’s really not fair!! (I hadn’t even taking the placement test…though I did talk to the teacher).</p>

<p>It’s not a big deal. I took an urban studies course instead and I’ll be volunteering at a local high school which I’m really excited for.</p>

<p>haha ok. I realized after I posted you’re probably fine with it now. I just always get excited/up-in-arms where Japanese is involved because so few people do actually study it, lol. (and your schedule is so ridiculously good…)</p>
