having classes non-stop from 10 til 3 on tuesday, and having wednesday day off

OR

having a 1 hour lunch break between those classes on tuesday, and having to go to uni on wednesday for ONE class


??

def the second imo, 10-3 really aint that bad imo.
If I get what I want ill be going from 11-5 non-stop

 

[Kelly47]

Personally I'd go with option two as the worst. I find that 5 hours straight is bearable, especially at those hours.
And how long would your class on Wednesday be? If it's only one hour, there's no way I'd choose that. But if it's any longer, option two wouldn't be so bad.
However I prefer as little days at uni as possible.

 

[Omie Jay]

first one for sure

 

[Phoenix Fury]

first one for sure

Is worse or is the better option?

 

[Omie Jay]

oops i mean i'd go for the first option, i'd get the wednesday off, lol

SECOND IS WORSE IMO

 

[meilz92]

actually, its 10-4 on tuesday nonstop

or, i can have a break, but have 2 classes on wednesday (i think ones a 2 hr lecture) and no days off :S

 

[madsam]

how long do you have to travel to get to uni?

I'd take the day off if it were me, but if you live on campus and its only like 15 minutes from your house, going on wed would stop you sleeping all day and wasting te day imo

 

[meilz92]

nearly 1.5 hours to get there

i'd still get the day off

 

[KarmaKitten]

A day off is always the best option.

 

[Absolutezero]

nearly 1.5 hours to get there

Definitely take the day off if you can.

 

[meilz92]

ohh WTF! i fucked up my timetable!
how the hell do i get back the other 1 i liked?

 

[meilz92]

i feel like im gambling on the pokies everytime i click 4 a new timetable

 

[mcflystargirl]

depends on the situation for me 1hr of classes is way worse cos that would mean like 3-4 hours of travel for 1 or 2 hours of classes. If you live close though it is not too bad to go for one class.

 

[meilz92]

so i think this is what im taking

monday: 11am-5pm (2 hr break)
tues: 10am-4pm (1 hr break)
wed: day off
thurs: 8am-3pm (1 hr break, 3 hr break)
fri: 8am-12pm (no break)

is this good? especially that 3 hour break... is it alright or is it bad to have a break that long

 

[KarmaKitten]

Not really. There is nothing 'bad' about a break, as long as you can use it productively. Go research, do your readings, hang with friends, catch up on the club get together etc etc. Or just nap on the grass.

I'm sure you'll find something to do.

I have a wednesday off, i think of it as a broken up 3 day weekend
useful to study for exams on the thursday and friday
and its only for one semester im sure the 10-4 day wont be so bad. So id go for the day off

 

[melsc]

Personal choice. I prefer long days which equals less days. I have done 9-6 with a one hour break.

 

[Mambomeg]

it would take about 2 weeks before you stopped turning up for the 1 hour class on wednesday. especially if its just a lecture.
take the day off, you can work (like paid work), or just have time off.

the 3 hour break will be really handy for doing research for assignments, group work meetings, using the library, or, depending on what you like, running BBQ's or handing out club and society brochures etc..

You get about a 15 min break between lectures anyway. in my course we pretty much went 9-5 mon to fri with a 1 hour lunch break, but we always got at least 10 mins between lectures to go to the loo, get a coffee etc - otherwise you can imagine how many people would be paying attention by the end of the 11am lecture.... zzzzz
