<p>i'm overseas right now in another continent for the summer, and am worried i might still be lightly jet lagged as classes begin...
usually it takes me about 3~6 days to brush it off completely. (yeah, i'm slow...) </p>
<p>i know we have orientation& signups in about 10 days (holy cow)
but when do actually classes start?</p>
<p>Technically, it’s the 25th, which is that Wednesday.
[Cornell</a> University - Academics - Academic Calendar](<a href=“Academic Calendar 2023-2024 | Cornell University Registrar”>Academic Calendar 2023-2024 | Cornell University Registrar)
Though, IMHO, classes won’t really teach much of anything important til the following Monday.</p>
<p>the worst thing about first day of classes is introductions…</p>
<p>lol ice breakers
They gonna make you do them for like 10 days o.0</p>
<p>Wednesday…same day as anyone else. But you have orientation week to help you recover. Me, I’ll be denying the campus the gift of my presence until as late as possible :)</p>
<p>It’s not like they are going to give you hardcore exams on the first day, relax. You’ll be fine.</p>
<p>Besides, 90% of the people in your classes will still be hungover and recovering from o-week, so you’re probably all on the same page anyway.</p>
<p>I find it interesting that classes resume for the spring semester on January 24.</p>
<p>
Why is that?</p>
<p>because Winter =/= Spring?
or because we have a full month for Winter Break?</p>
<p>
What? I know Winter isn’t Spring, but how could this be an answer to my question?</p>
<p>hes obviously asking the person you were confused by to clarify what he originally asked</p>
<p>wow i remembe those ice breaks during my freshman yr. so bad and stupid… i didn’t remember a single name. every name just vanished from my head within 3 seconds of hearing it</p>
