Bad yet practical schedule vs. Good yet impractical?

<p>Hey all,</p>

<p>All this semester I’ve had to deal with 8AM classes every day. I figured I could handle it…and it hasn’t been so bad, but it’s definitely been a chore. I’ve wound up missing a lot of my 8AM (webcasted) lectures because I’ve decided to sleep in. </p>

<p>Anyway, my question is about next year. I’m not exactly sure what’s going to be happening, as I may aim for a job, maybe a research opportunity, or just get involved more in clubs. I’m planning to take Chem112A, Physics 7A, and Math 54.</p>

<p>My current schedule (which admittedly isn’t the best, but it lets me sleep in a bit) looks like this: <a href=“http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~amanb/cgi-bin/makeSched.cgi?file=8476309&open=1[/url]”>http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~amanb/cgi-bin/makeSched.cgi?file=8476309&open=1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Am I correct in thinking that this schedule is impractical? I am afraid that it won’t allow me to have enough time windows to do anything else (i.e. a job, a research apprenticeship position, or even club stuff.) </p>

<p>My other option is, tenatively,
Mon 8-12
Tu 8-930, 11-1230
Wed 8-1
Thu 8-930, 11-1230, 1-6
Fri 8-10</p>

<p>Which would you personally do? Is my first schedule impractical to work with or am I being paranoid? I’d like to sleep in, but I don’t want to sacrifice opportunities outside of class just for a couple hours of sleep.</p>

<p>Your Mondays and Fridays are pretty open. Your other option looks worse. I personally would avoid 8 a.m. classes if at all possible. I think you know why.</p>
