describe a typical day on Saba ...

[DoctorORG]

Dear Saba students,

This is kinda weird, but I would appreciate it if you could describe a typical day of your student life on Saba here very briefly... (sense of humour is necessary)

:roll: again, sorry for the weird question...


Cheers,

I've posted a study schedule based on my experiences in first semester - you can search for that. I'm off island now - just finished my 5th semester, but I don't think much has changed since then.

But generally, here's a schedule:

1. Get up at 6:45 to get showered and ready to leave the house by 7:30 for class.
2. Drive to school. Pick up people on way. Get stuck behind garbage truck for 3 minutes.
3. Get stuck behind locals chitchatting in their cars for 45 seconds.
4. Get to first class, get my stuff organized. Buy coffee and/or drinks. Go to class for 8am.
5. Break from first class. Gossip.
6. Second class.
7. Break from second class. Gossip.
8. Lunch
9. Third class
10. Break from third class. Gossip.
11. Leave school.
12. Almost hit goat with my car.
13. Stop by Winwardside for errands. (Big Rock - 10% of on Wed - my big grocery day, ATM, GNC, ICS, etc etc etc)
14. Home
15. Sit on deck and relax for a few mins.
16. Print off notes for studying that evening.
17. Start studying
18. Dinner + TV (If Tues and it's after blocks: SWINING DOORS or ECOLODGE! If it's Mon after blocks: BRIGADOON!
19. Study
20. BED
21. Wake up next morning and do the same thing all over again!

Hmm...you may be right I don't know... what I do know is that the alumni I've met in rotations seem smarter and tougher than me, particularly when I get pimped by them! :)

how long are the classes, in general...

how long are the classes, in general...


i believe lecs are around 2hours, 9-11 & 11-1 and the afternoon lecture + lab can take up to several minutes... do a search on forum, you will find it. I am going to apply next yr so I am not the best person to answer this Q, sorry.

Your class schedule depends on what semester you're in...just off the top of my head:

1st semester: histology = 8-10am...anatomy lecture = 10:15am-12:15pm...1:15pm-??? (usually 3:30pm or later, depending on how much you want to go over the body; this will likely be several hours at the beginning)

2nd semester: psychology = 8-10am...biochemistry = 10:15-12:15...physiology = 12:45-2:45pm...and then, twice a week (used to be Wed and Thurs, but it may have changed) Ethics = 3-5:30pm

After 2nd semester, it's a bit of a blur, so maybe someone else can fill in the rest and correct anything that seems off...

Wake up at 7:00am, brush my teef and shower.
Take the bus to school, sleep/play games in class (don't get much from being in class).
Walk home, screw around till somewhere between 4-6pm, go to bed.
Wake up at 12:00am to study (study better @ night).
Go back to sleep or play GTA IV ;) for 1-3 hours before class (depending on how long it takes to finish previous day's work)
Wake up and do it again, and again, and again, and again..............until mid semester break :D

Sounds like my schedule, minus games in class. I prefer to sleep. Especially now that the lights are out during lectures. :goodnight:
