I work at my school's guidance office sometimes and almost every single day, I hear those same questions: "I need my schedule changed.", "I want to drop out of this class.", or something like that. Luckily, I only have one class for each semester, English 1st, Science 2nd, and then I go to work at 10:30.

It's ok I have too many morning classes tho. And I planned on skipping my only Friday class (1 1/2 hours) , but after having it for the first time today I realized that I can't afford to miss it. (it will be my hardest class of all university unless i continue after my bachelor's)

I had a few problems with my schedule (four classes in one semester, one - not including my online course - in the other), but since I went in as soon as possible to fix it, I didn't have a problem getting it changed. Some of my friends on the other hand had problems with their schedule (one had five classes in her semester, which isn't even possible! One of her courses was during lunch!) but waited until the first day of school - which was bad because all the classes were pretty much filled by then and switches were virtually impossible.

I am sticking with two classes this semester, because I almost screwed my self over taking 4 classes, and failed all of them (3 D's and 1 F). But when I have semesters will little classes, I do excellent actually. So I am going to only do 2 classes in long semesters and 1 class in short semesters to stay on the safe side.

I'm satisfied with three of my four classes. If I drop my fourth one I lose the scholarship I have at school so I'm debating over whether to keep it or not. I've got it set up so I only have to go to school 3 days a week which is really nice :]

I wasn't when I was going to school. I only have two classes. They were supposed to put me in science and math. Instead the put me in English and related classes-- where the main focus is speeches and creative writing. It was ridiculous, considering I had to be signed alternative assignments or just sat there not being able to do a lot of things.

I'm the same way, except I didn't fail (much) when I had 4 classes but I struggled to keep it at 70% most of the time, which for me is very close to failing (having under 70% is failing for me, and I get really freaked out if I do get under 70%, which almost happened twice with two courses I loathed). When I took three courses instead, my marks shot up to mid-high 80s, and have even gotten two 90% marks

My schedule's pretty good. I only have 9 double lessons a week which means that I get a few mornings and afternoons off a week. :D

I have to take AVID class in high school for four years (I can't transfer out, already talked to a counseller). The class does not help me and is a waste of time in honest opinion, although my teacher is nice.

Mine's pretty sweet...I have classes only two days a week! The catch: both run from 9-7 pm and I can only do a 60% course load this term because the other classes I wanted were full. :(

My diagnoses - social anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I’m no longer involved with the ASD world.

My History class is on Tuesday and Thursday mornings,
followed by my yoga class later in the afternoon.
