Schedule - how does it look?

<p>Since pre-enroll is coming up pretty soon, I was hoping to see what you guys think of my preliminary schedule :) It just doesn't include Psych 1103, which would put me at 17 credits (schedulizer wouldn't add it because the times are TBA).</p>

<p>Schedulizer:</a> Fall '09</p>

<p>I'm undecided in A&S, although I'm seriously considering psychology and possibly English. I know some of these courses are very popular and may be difficult to get into (namely Psych 1101 and maybe even Chin 1101), but there seem to be a ton of open seats according to the Student Center so I'm crossing my fingers! Some of my back-ups are CS 1101, Anthr 1400, Astro 2201, and BIOG 1109.</p>

<p>My one worry is that 3 lectures in a row, 3 days a week might get a little tiresome, but I like that I'm done with my day by 3:00 or 4:00, with a nice block of time for lunch/studying/socializing in the afternoon.</p>

<p>Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated :D</p>

<p>Wow, you must be a morning person, your schedule would not work for me.</p>

<p>lol. I’m not really a morning person, but all of the classes I want to take have early lectures. I figured 8:40/9:05 isn’t terrible…better than 8am!</p>

<p>8:40 isn’t terrible? Spoken like a true high schooler.</p>

<p>You will see my friend :P</p>

<p>anyways aside from the earliness your schedule looks fine</p>

<p>Haha. Thanks, Lucaskhan xD I mean, I wasn’t about to take classes I wasn’t interested in just because of the times…</p>

<p>Of course you should stick with those classes, but im just saying that I was in your situation where I had some “early” classes (they were 9am, not even 8am ones) thinking that i’d be fine bc HS started at 8am, but boy was I wrong.</p>

<p>Maybe you happen to be extremely disciplined/can get away with only 4 hours of sleep a day, but I found that on average I went to bed 2-3 hours later than I did in HS.</p>

<p>But in reality you are right, 8:40 am isn’t terrible, its just not ideal ;P</p>

7

<p>you are like me, i prefer morning classes even though im not a morning person just because i want to get it over with and go back to dorm and do w/e i want.</p>

<p>I know a lot of people who had 8AM classes every morning. I think most high school students would kill to have classes start that late. But 8AM really is a huge pain in college, for some reason. I can barely get up for my 10AM classes, even though I go to bed around midnight! </p>

<p>3 lectures in a row will be fine; it’s actually pretty typical. You may want to make sure you grab a quick bite in the morning, though, to last you until lunch time. I don’t know your preferences, but I think that for most people this would be a good schedule.</p>

<p>i would have to discipline myself…but the hard thing wont be getting up early…</p>

<p>it would be getting up early…having AM classes and then having such a big break in between…</p>

<p>just make sure you teach yourself to use that spare time to do homework and not just kid around.</p>

<p>Haha, yes^ I had a schedule like that my first semester, and all I did was eat and watch the sports channel in between classes.</p>

<p>thanks for all your input guys!! much appreciated. the early classes will probably be a pain but im up for the challenge :wink: and hopefully 17 credits wont be too much of an overload but they’re all intro and the registrar listed pretty good median grades, so it should be okay.</p>
