The only way around it is to move the Chem prac to a thursday, and the Bio prac to a Tuesday.
But the Bio prac is full. It says to wait until Feb 21 for more spots.
People may move out of it before then, depends on how desirable the spot is. Just keep checking every day and see what happens.
In terms of your decision, going to the lectures outside the stream is possible but it's up to you whether the downsides outweigh the positives.
And to whoever asked, biochem lectures are recorded yes (or they were for my year)
What are the downsides and how manageable are they?
I can only change if that Bio prac frees up, and even then I am not keen. It will put me at Uni from 9 til 4 or 5 everyday.
I am the type of person who benefits immensely from study days. I had 2 every week last year.
Even if I go to linguistics lectures, I will still have like half days to get work done.
I have always been a 'cram as many contact hours into as little time as possible' type of person lol.
I just don't want to spend ages there and eat craploads and never do work. I hardly ever did any work at school. :/
