As promised, here you go with my legendary timetable.
Note: Classes start at 8:00 AM sharp and each period lasts 50 minutes. Except for Tuesday, we have a 40 minute break after the 4th period. For Tuesday, break is after the fifth period. So you do the math. Classes end at 3:30 PM. #Suicidal

And also wanna know how far your uni's are from your place of residence? Mine is 35 miles away to be precise, so basically its 70 miles of travel everyday in a hot hot city in Chennai.

Btw, those long rectangular boxed periods are my laboratory classes. 3 periods each.

I live about 4km/2.5 miles away.

If I wanted I could get there in 15 minutes if I went to the closest bus stop next to my house and the bus was just pulling in, but I normally give it a good 35 minutes because I walk to a cheaper bus stop which saves me $10 a week, and I normally have to wait 10 minutes or so, and that also gives me some time to get to class. On the way home it normally takes about 30 minutes from leaving my class to walking in the door at home, if I'm going straight home.

The bus takes me 15 minutes to get into uni, but can take up to 40 on the way back depending on the time of day. There's one section of the trip that can basically not move for ages.

 

[CG123]

My bus route's pretty good, it very rarely gets stuck in one place. I guess it helps that I never really go in/come back in rush hour.

On a good day from getting on the bus to getting off the bus, it can take only 7/8 minutes.

 

[Chewie]

Wow that's quick. On the way home the bit from the hospital to the brewery corner can be packed, as can Newmarket sometimes. You just sit there going nowhere.

 

[Haarithan]

Dumbstruck.

You sound more like me on this part.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Zorax, can I know the course you've taken up? I guess its Mechanical Engineering?

Indeed it is.

 

[Haarithan]

No offence, but I hate that course! Seriously one cannot like Mechanical Engg if he doesn't like drawing, can he? Atleast that's the case in India lol - diagram after diagram after diagram to cram up - wtf?!
FTR, I just managed a pass grade in Engineering Drawing during my first semester.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

Whaaaaa. Nooooo.
Mech Eng = Physics, Maths. Some boring stuff with Materials Science, but we do fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, basic mechanics, then more advanced mechanics (momentum, forces, gears, levers, pulleys, etc). It's cool. There's a bit of Elec and a bit of programming in there too.

I like it.

 

[coolz_hari]

Is there any pc member who is preparing for medical pg entrance ?

 

[Chewie]

Got my criminal law oral submission tonight. Pretty nervous seeing as I haven't done any preparation for it yet...

 

[ZoraxDoom]

My tentative timetable for next sem:

 

[CG123]

Classes 4 - 7 on Friday evening, ouch.

 

[Haarithan]

Worse than mine tbh.
