Should I suck it up and take a Friday class?

<p>Okay so right now my schedule for Fall '13 is:</p>

<p>Mondays and Wednesdays - 2:30-5:10
Tuesdays and Thursdays - 10-3:30</p>

<p>I really want to drop one of my classes, which is on T/Th from 10-11:15, but if I do that, then I'd replace it with one of two potential classes. One of the classes is a dreadful M/W/F, from 12:30-1:20. As for the other class, it's on T/Th from 2:15-3:30, a time period which I'm already scheduled for in a different class, but the good thing is that I could switch from the 2:15-3:30 section that I'm already enrolled in to a 10-11:15 section.</p>

<p>The good thing about the M/W/F is that the class that I would add seems pretty interesting, just some busy reading. Of course, the bad is that it would ruin my "No Friday Classes" thing that I've got going on. As for the second option, the good is that my schedule stays the same as far as timing goes, but the downside is that I don't have much information regarding this new class (it's a special topics class). The only reason that I would enroll in this class is because I can use it to fulfill my major.</p>

<p>What do you guys think?</p>

<p>I was in a similar situation in which I had a philosophy class I was interested in that only met up on friday mornings. It was painful, but I have decided to take the class next semester and I couldn’t be more excited.
College is for expanding your mind in subjects you like after all, and it’s only one class. Afterwards you have the rest of your friday to look forward. You’ll survive. :)</p>

<p>Suck up the Friday pain! Besides, once you’re up for it, getting productive study done that afternoon will be a lot easier. </p>

<p>In my first year of college, I didn’t have any Friday classes but I did volunteer to tutor in a local elementary school in the morning. I’d get back at lunch just as everyone else was getting out of bed. That always made me feel good/smug :slight_smile: In fact, I ended up doing it every year of college. It was as important to me as any class as I was thinking of teaching when I graduated and needed the experience for my grad school application.</p>
