T IME? WHAT IT TAKES FOR STUDENTS TO RELAX, SOCIALIZE AND TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS Please enter your social security number followed by the pound key, now, hummed the impersonal computer voice from the other end of the telephone line. Although many students would have relished taking a chain saw to their telephones during registration, they called continually until they had their schedules bordering on perfection. Some students juggled their schedules around their source of income while others planned their classes around interests such as sunbathing, catching their soap operas or just maintaining the appropriate eight hours of sleep. I schedule my classes in the morning because I w ork in the afternoon, Wakulla High School football coach Bert Johnson said. I take classes according to my sleep schedule, criminology major Mike Allen said. My classes don ' t start until 1 1 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and I ' m done before 1 p.m. All my classes are in the afternoon because I ' m a French major. The upper level French classes are in the afternoon, senior Laura Leduc said. I guess French professors really dislike morning classes. Athletes faced the insurmountable task of organizing their days and nights around grueling hours of practices. However, their schedules did not prove to be a problem because the athletic department emphasized academics. Having to rearrange our schedules around practice for baseball is not a hassle because we have an academic advisor just for us, baseball player Doug Alientkiew iczy said. If we have to make an exception, the coaching staff will do their best to work around my schedule. It ' s really not a problem at all because due to athletic priorities, we get the classes we need, when we need them, left fielder Clint Hendry said. Many students who lived off campus took the increasing problem of parking into consideration w hen they registered. Because there were only 8, 000 parking spaces and there were some 25,000 students living off campus, some did not want to take the chance of missing a class because they got trapped in the quest of campus parking. I basically schedule around parking. All of my classes are in the morning so I can get a space, junior Sarah Bull said. They ' re all close together, so I don ' t have to leave campus. I guess that ' s about parking, too. For many, the ideal schedule consisted of classes that were as close together as possible. This eliminated the problem of being in limbo for a few hours with nothing more appealing to do than procrastinate. I schedule my classes close together so I only have fifteen minutes between them, theater major Laura Conners said. The more time I have between classes, the slimmer the chances are that I ' ll go. My classes are right after each other, so I don ' t have to leave the engineering campus and come back, civil engineering major George Katsaras said. Other students, especially freshmen, were not so fortunate. I scheduled around what I could get. I have five 8 a.m. classes! I just took whatever was available, freshman Chris Daughtry said. Although a day in the life of a college student could be hectic beyond belief, students were surprised to find themselves having time to kill between classes. For many, this brief respite was a godsend, the perfect chance to relieve stress and let the heart rate return to normal. I study most of the time, but when I ' m done, I watch the people go by, freshman Roxanne Voorting said. To tell the truth, I love the grass and trees on Landis Green. It looks like a postcard or something. (Continued on page 10) r ' BY ASHLEY WILLIAMS 8 Student Life
