Hi, I just got my timetable today and I go 7 straight hours from 8am-3pm on one of my days. Should I ask to have my timetable changed, or is there with the same situation?

Thanks in advance

7 hrs straight is a bit taugh. If you want it changed, then do so [dat's..if it's possible]

I have a 7 hrs in a row too:

the reality is that after a few weeks you will realise which lectures are important, and which arent, which ones you can get away with eating in, and which you cant. For example, if your tutes arent in a lab, and you have a nice tutor, you can usually eat in them. You can usually take a break during pracs and labs, and you can always leave lectures.

you can change your timetable online, so you could fiddle around to see how you could change it without actually changing it to see if you can get anything better. If you whinge to the faculty ppl they will probably not really care anyway.

I have got a 10 hour super marathon on Wednesday, from 9am to 7pm non stop :) It will be a mixture of lectures, tutes and computer pracs. I am actually quite looking forward to that. I wanna see how I'll cope with such extreme learning environment. Should be fun!
