I'm sure I've ranted about morning classes before.
And there may be a day when I don't rant about morning classes.
But, in all seriousness, scheduling classes is a bloomin' nightmare.
You've gotta make sure nothing overlaps in time slots.
You've gotta make sure you actually need it.
You've gotta make sure you've got time to do the whole "lunch" thing, which -though seriously underrated - is vital to not passing out in class. From hunger.
And - for USCB students anyhow - you've gotta make sure you're not giving yourself 10 minutes to make a 30 minute trip, as we have two campuses.
But then there's the 8 AM classes.
Also known as "the room you sit in whilst you wake up mentally".
Unless it's Crossfit aerobics, which will kick your studious tush.
I've taken 8 AM classes before, but only two days a week, so you have the next day to sleep in and recover.
This semester, I've got my first two Monday, Wednesday, and Friday classes.
And all five days . . . I have 8 AM classes.
Why?
Because I'm an idiot, that's why.
And you know what the worst of it is?
Waking up three minutes before my alarm goes off.
Ah yes, morning classes. I'm by no means a morning person so I finally just started taking all of my classes online.. and I LOVE it!! If you have the option, I would definitely recommend trying it out.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm currently taking an online class . . . I like it, but it makes it so much easier for me to forget about assignments. =(
Deleteonline classes were my saving grace! So happy I'm done with them though :)
ReplyDeleteYay!
DeleteOne more year for me!
Oh yea...the ole' famous morning classes! I did those lots of times and sadly had my A&P class in the morning I do believe and well.....a boring man talking non-stop 1.5 hrs reading from a power point...well I'm sure you know all about that. I'd prefer afternoon classes. say after 1 p.m. that way you're wide awake and can pay attention. I'm 1 class short of graduating and gotta wait til the summer or August to take that one class. I'd prefer it online if I can b/c they say it's easier that way. and I've already had it already and have all the notes and stuff and the book.
ReplyDeleteOh man!! ONE class?!
DeleteI get to take it pretty light next year - but I still have gen-eds to work on!
Schedule-making can be frustrating - especially when a class only has two choices, or even ONE choice for time. And I know what you mean about waking up right before the alarm goes off!
ReplyDeleteSchedule making is a beast of its own, you're so right!
