I can finish and or redo this year and next year(junior here) at this place in like two months.
 
At the same time though, do you really want to spend your summer in school? The way my track was set up for Nursing was that we had classes straight till we graduate, never having a summer open for us for vacation. Luckily I switched to a different major so I didn't have to deal with that (that wasn't the main reason why I switched majors, but it was a factor.)

Those schedules are the worst. Although, it's nothing out of the ordinary for my friends who are in a math or engineering major in university. They signed their life away after graduating high school XD They knew what they were getting into for the most part.
 
I have the easiest high school schedule anyone could ask for. Four core classes and three study halls, all spaced with no more than one regular period in between breaks (counting lunch as one). 1st - Lit, 2nd - PC, Advisory, 3rd - PC, 4th - Math, Lunch, 5th - Bio, 6th - PC, 7th - History, then I leave at 2:30 and get home at 3. :)

Does PC just stand for your study hall? And how long are each of your classes? 7 in a day sounds like your classes really can't be much longer than what, 40 minutes each?
 
At my high school they were 43 minutes each - not sure how I still remember that. It's not that strange or short; my college has two class lengths, either 50 minutes or 1 hour 15 minutes. 50 minutes isn't that much more than high school.
 
When I actually went to our high school I had a full schedule because I dicked around in all of my classes. So senior year it was 1st- Wind Ensemble (advanced band) 2nd- physics 3rd- APC 4th- Economics Lunch 6th- Government 7th- Chemistry 8th- English

Now I go to school for maybe an hour and just do packets because yolo.

Classes are 50 minutes each with 4 minute passing periods, a 19-minute advisory period, and a 30-minute lunch. At my old school we had the same thing but with 53 minute classes, 6-minute passing periods, a 28 minute lunch, and advisory once a week on a modified schedule. That modified schedule cut lunch down to 22 minutes and classes down to 47 minutes, with the same length for passing periods. At my current school everyone has lunch after fourth hour and at my old one we had A and B lunch that moved with your fourth hour depending on what type of class you had in that slot. Don't ask me how I know all this.
 
I have 7 classes per day, each being 50 minutes long and two breaks of 20 minutes for the whole day ;;
 
I have 6 courses each of them 3 hours in duration ;; So painful to sit there listening to professors who talk non-stop. Kind of hard not to start falling asleep when they don't bother engaging the students \:
 
Ugh my high school had a different setup every day, with a rotation 6-day schedule, and the free period/lunch period wasn't guaranteed to be midday. Senior year you were required to have the one that some days came the first period of the day and other days the very last.

I can't think of any benefit to that system other than saving on lunch/breakfast (which is only a benefit to the school).

The benefit was supposed to be for the classes - if you have math class first thing every single day, you'll learn less because it's first, but something has to be first. Lunch was just an unfortunate side effect of the schedule. In other years you could choose which rotational period you had as lunch to a point - some of them were most of the time more middle-of-the-day so it was better. But senior year all students in that year had the same lunch so the principal could meet with us once a cycle, so the morning/afternoon lunch was required. It was dumb.

That's actually very interesting.

I'm more than curious how they actually got that through approval. Schools are required to provide nutrition to the students. Do they have some other way for students to get food like longer hall exchanges so they can go down to get something to snack on?

Nope, passing times were 4 minutes. Our school let out at 1:43 though (I remember that because it always bothered me; why not 1:45???) I assume that they got it by with 2 being a reasonable time for lunch, so even if the "lunch" was at 8AM they could just go home and get food at 2 or so.

I mean, when you get a real job as an adult you might have to wake up earlier than that. Not to burst your bubble or anything ~
