so today was the official first day of classes and yet i feel completely lost. for those of you who are also starting and those of you are in higher terms can you give me some advice please!!!

1) what should i be doing /getting? forms, booklets, etc.

2) what exactly is the schedule for first term? labs in the morning, lectures in the afternoon - this i get. but is the rest of the time for you (to study, and do whatever else you need to do?) or are there other classes/lectures/meetings that we should be attending but i have yet to hear about?

any and all info. would be greatly appreciated!!
thanks!
