    Unhappy Worst. Timetable. Ever.

    So i got my new timetable for college this morning.. 20 hours of lessons a week, not too bad you say. Oh no.

    Monday: 3 Hours Physics, 1 Hour Lunch Break, 4 Hours F.Maths. 9 - 5 (sure it's just like a job, but i don't like it)

    Tuesday: Not so bad, 2 hours of chem at 3pm

    Wednesday: 2 Hours F.Maths, 2 Hours Lunch, 2 Hours Physics

    Thursday: 2 Hours Chem, 1 Hour F.Maths, 1 Hour Tutorial, 1 Hour Lunch, 1 Hour Maths

    Friday 2 Hours Maths, 2 Hour Lunch, 1 Hour Chem

    My gripe is not specifically the ridiculously long Monday and the lack of breaks, more that they've slipped in some ridiculous breaks to make up for it. I mean, Friday, i could be out by midday if there wasn't an hour to look forward to in the afternoon. I am NOT impressed, especially given that my timetable last year was great, finished at a decent enough time and didn't have stupid breaks in-between lessons (not stupidly long, not stupidly short).

    I don't care about the free time, just that i'd rather the days were slightly more succint rather than an 8 hour day, then a day when i can lie in until 2:30

    Oh yeah, and as a student i have a right to complain, so the "wait till you're my age and working 80 hours a day + night shifts" doesn't cut anything on me

    That video is SUPERB! can't beat a bit of Python

    Re: Worst. Timetable. Ever.

    I have to agree, my timetable in sixthform was pretty much full (did 5 subjects) but at uni i had 3 years on the bounce with 2 days 1 lecture at 9 then nothing till 2 or 3, and solid days the rest of the week. Immensly difficult to get out of bed for that 9 oclock

    Re: Worst. Timetable. Ever.

    C++ is pretty proper? But they sort of spoiled it with VB..

    On the other hand, sounds like a pretty cool course!

    Re: Worst. Timetable. Ever.

    It wasn't a programming course...I did C++ and VB as optional extras....They taught us things like Macromedia Director and some pile of pap called Asymetrix Toolbox. Really useful that turned out to be.

    It was one of the first multimedia courses with specific focus on the internet and web dev...I graduated back in 2000, after a four year course (one year placement), so pretty early in the game. Even so, some of the stuff was great. Particularly enjoyed all the 3D Studio Max work, although back then it was 3D Studio 2.1 or somesuch....
