<p>TASP gives you the opportunity to manage your own time, so each person’s daily schedule is somewhat different. Mine looked something like this:</p>
<p>9:30-12:30 Seminar
12:30-1:00 Lunch
1:00-3:00 Hanging out in Collegetown, around the Telluride House, or in the Commons
3:00-6:00 Reading in the library, checking up on my e-mail, having a smoothie at the library cafe
6:00-6:30 Dinner
6:30-8:00 Hanging around at the Telluride House (watching movies, talking, being crazy, or reading)</p>
<p>After that, it varies. Every other night, we had about 2 hours of pubspeaks, and once a week, we had a house meeting. Sometimes, there were concerts on the quad or events around town. The Cornell Cinema also showed movies in the evening. Basically, the schedule for TASPers is rather flexible, but you are encouraged to spend the large majority of your time with your fellow housemates.</p>
<p>In terms of the workload, my seminar had an average of 100 pages to read a night, and some of it contained obscure language, so if you want to keep up with the seminar, expect to spend about 3-4 hours each day on the reading. After the first week, most TASPers start slacking off on their reading assignments, but a rare few do read everything assigned.</p>
<p>You will also receive assignments, such as short papers. Luckily, I was only assigned one of these, but I think most TASPs had about 2 or 3 papers throughout the seminar.</p>
<p>I’ll post more later.</p>
