A day in the life of your uni/classes

...because there's one of these for high-schoolers, so we uni kids should have one too.

Bit hard seeing as it's holidays right now, but anyway...

Here's my usual Monday from last term:


12:00pm - wake up, having slept through my 10am class. Decide to sleep in a bit more, through my 12 o'clock class.
12:30 - get up, go to "lunch" (but really breakfast) at college. Have a massive bowl of coco pops, while still in my dressing gown. Everyone else is usually dressed, having been to class that morning.
1pm - have a shower, get dressed, all that.
1:30-1:50 - piss around on the computer for a bit, check my email and WebCT.
1:50 - head off to class
2-3pm - my Analysis 2 lecture. Just sit there and read the prescribed text while the lecturer talks. Don't take notes.
3-4pm (some days) - tutor an indigenous student in first year maths, physics, or linguistics. They organise to meet up with me when they need help...
4-5pm - head back to college. Catch up with friends. Probably piss around on the computer a bit more.
5-6pm - dinner at college. Probably something rubbish. College food = not great. Most likely just make myself a toasted sandwich.
6pm onwards - hang around with friends. Most likely play Mario Kart Wii in my neighbour's room. Possibly play cards. Drink cider. Watch TV shows on their computers.

Definitely not study.

1am - people start heading off to bed about now usually
1-4am - hang out with friends if they're still awake. If I have an assignment for a subject, this is when I'd normally work on it...
4am - head off to bed.



and that's about it. This semester I'll probably go to a few of the classes in the first two or three weeks though. After that... well, it's unlikely. I'm really not a fan of waking up before 12...

Ohhhhhh....
So that's why when mum phones you, you never pick up or you don't talk too long. It's either you're sleeping or out with your friends. *grumpy face*

Btw, I hate how you can do this and get god-like results.
