With a bit of shuffling, I fit every course I wanted into my schedule.
Maybe I only dislike ROSI because I got the short end of the stick, but that was no doubt the worst. monday. ever.

Only now that I've registered does physics scare me.
Looks at this terrible schedule for fall: here

Why'd I even take physics? It encompasses SIX hours a week.

My plan is to take psychology first term and delay physics I until the second.
Then I will (hopefully) have a better understanding of what I would actually like to ~do with my life~.
It wouldn't be too much trouble to take the second part next year or even during the summer if I were truly ambitious.

Any advice?

ps. I'm in Life Science (Biochemistry)

By the look of that schedule, it looks like you'll require a bit more shuffling. Did you not notice the big red block that says conflict on Tuesday afternoon?

Sorry for not clarifying,
The Biology and Chemistry labs alternate from week to week, that's what the asterisks mean.
Though I must admit, the huge red CONFLICT block is pretty alarming

Oh I would kill for a schedule like yours. In my winter semester next year I have 4 3 hour labs a week (on top of 3 hour lectures per week for each of those labs). So it's not that bad. That 3 hour lab won't actually take 3 hours anyways.

Hey your schedule is very good! dont stress about it. Look at the physics schedule: Its only 2 lectures/ week, which is amazing. The Tutorial (TUT) is there to help you. And the PRA are Practicals/Labs which are there to help you even more. THe Labs wont take you the whole 3 hours, but they are there so you can take you time. They might be only everyother week, but im not sure about that. But overall, dont worry about physics, 6 hours is actaully only 2 hours lecture + 4 hours help.

And about the conflict, make SURE that the chem labs are NOT on the same week as the bio labs (maybe thats why it says conflict?)

First lab I ever had was the ECE110 lab (Circuit Analysis). It was a joke lol...

It was the whole thing with rubbing fur on plastic rods and seeing if you could repel metal stuff. It felt like elementary school all over again. I think me and my lab partner finished in 30 minutes, although we probably could have done it in 10 if we really would have went for it.
