<p>I'm hoping to work 4-8 hours a week for spending money...thought that fit in my schedule nicely...</p>
<p>Yep, it definitely looks like a schedule!!</p>
<p>What's your question, what kind of feedback do you seek?</p>
<p>With that schedule, will the homework and studying be overwhelming? And will I be able to work 8 hours a week with that schedule? And its just a rough draft, but I would love to have something similar.</p>
<p>I'll leave it to the people who understand maths and sciences to comment on whether it's the right amount of balance, re: homework and studying.</p>
<p>What I see is a Morning Person's dream schedule. 3 days/week (including Friday) you're all done with formal class/lab time by noon! You only have one afternoon class, and it meets just twice per week. </p>
<p>Are you thinking of going home or somewhere for the weekends? I wondered, because your week begins at 8 a.m. on Monday, and you finish your formal class time by noon on Friday. Ideal for a jumpstart on your weekend, but you also have to be back in place at the dorm reasonably early on Sunday night, and to bed, in order to make that MOnday 8 a.m. lab. followed by all morning in classes. </p>
<p>You should definitely note on your housing questionnaire that you're a "Morning Person" with this kind of schedule. Are you? Can you be? Those are two different questions. Some kids say you won't change, but my S created a freshman morning schedule and loves it, because he's so often done by noon, and enjoys working in longer blocks of time on projects and reports. He finds it helpful for studying because he's not the kind to grab an hour here or there to read a chapter (instead, he'd chat away the hour with friends). So his best work is done with large open blocks of afternoon time (as you have), and for this he's found it a good pattern to BECOME a morning person at college. He also sleeps easily with some noise around him, and he has two roommates in a single room, so that's important. They are not all morning-schedule folks (since he noted himself differently and honestly on his housing questionnaire as a 2 a.m. kinda guy...but then changed when he saw the course scheduling, which came after his housing questionnaire. It all works out because he sleeps through anything noisy, and apparently they are all considerate enough to work it out very well. If you end up with a late-night roommate, you can still work things out with earphones, setting up computers so the screens don't aim at your beds, and so on. Some people sleep with blindfolds, too, which helps. </p>
<p>I think it's an EXCELLENT schedule for fitting in a job (which mine also did throughout college). Here's why: 3 days/week (including Friday) you're all done with formal class/lab time by noon! Only two days per week do you have any afternoon classes. So you're quite likely to find job hours on those free afternoons, or in the evening of course.</p>
<p>Now I'll leave it to others who understand how all the maths, science and labs work...</p>
