Today is the first day of the Spring quarter. From this day, my school will start using Block Schedule (90 minutes a period).

And now, I came home from school. Everything was horrible. The first period I had Chinese 2 which I was totally out of concentration after the first 45 mins. For the next period, the teacher even finished teaching for about 40 minutes sooner. And it was 11:35. However luckily for me that in between of the first half and the second half of the third period was lunch time so I was able to avoid falling asleep in class. And the forth period came. It was hard to keep mind my clear and I was so sleepy. The sunlight was also too weak as it was going to rain. That made a perfect condition for anybody to fall asleep.

I can't imagine doing anything every school day this quarter. Guess I may get use to it after a few times but this was just terrible. T_T

Block Scheduling really sucks, an hour and a half for classes is so stupid you can only keep your mind on a subject for so long. Sleeping will be your new best friend.

Traditional schedule usually has 45 minute-periods.

There are many types of block schedule but block schedule usually has 90 minute-periods.

Say you have 6 classes (A,B,C,D,E,F) that are 45 minutes each.
Normal scheduling gives:
Monday-Friday:
A-45
B-45
C-45
D-45
E-45
F-45

Block Scheduling becomes:
1
A-90
B-90
C-90

2
D-90
E-90
F-90

With 1 and 2 alternating throughout the year. So first week may be 1,2,1,2,1 (mon-fri), then second week would be 2,1,2,1,2 (mon-fri), etc. At least this was how my school did it.
In DotA you could

Come on mate, it's like you've never been through school if you haven't felt asleep during class .
They first ignore you. After they laugh at you. Next they will fight you. In the end you will win.

It will not be as bad as you think. Unless you make it bad then yes you can expect boring days. When I was going through block scheduling in high school I kinda had a routine of what I could work on after the teacher finished teaching early and left us with almost an hour of not doing nothing. I can second that block scheduling can be very boring if you make it boring. I had plenty of boring days during those hour an half classes. Eventually you will get adjusted to it and actually enjoy how you can accomplish work in such a shitty way of going to classes. At least this is how I looked at it.

Oh and expect alot of days where the teacher teaches twenty minutes and you have an hour or so to finish your work(which you will finish in 10 minutes unless ur a dumbass) and have nothing to do for an hour. Occupy that time with socializing or catching up with work.

My teachers didn't care much as long as I was doing something quiet(when I would socialize I would always end up having the half/whole class involved in some weird stupid discussion). Oh and OMG you have no idea how much sleep I would get. There would be days I would go to school looking forward to sleep.

+1 I also went through this and thank god for the block scheduling for giving me time to finish projects. There was times where I could procrastinate on a writing project(that had a due date of like 3 weeks or something) and wouldn't start it until the hour before the class started. Block scheduling isn't all to bad if you use it to your advantage :p
