Yes, you can change to any section as long as it's available.

Switch Geog 1HB3 for a different course? I actually didn't check the tutorials part so I'm not sure if it conflicts with anything else. If you want me to, pm me your msn and I'll do a full check.

Yeah..I'm going to switch the Geog 1HA3 from first term to second term and vice versa for Geog 1HB3. That way I can get CS 1FC3 in there, thanks Jeremy!

My schedule's alright, I guess. I'm not liking the early morning classes in Term 2. And I'm changing my English from the longer genres to the shorter genres xD
Wait... shouldn't tutorials come after cores? I'm confused.
Term 1 -
Term 2 -

The order of your cores, tutorials and labs don't make that much of a difference.

Things to look for when making a schedule:
Classes in a row - Usually 2-3 hours is tolerable but more than that tends to make the day quite long.
Class locations - Make sure the location between buildings isn't too far. IT'S TRUE YOU CAN WALK ACROSS CAMPUS IN LESS THAN 10 MINUTES, however for convenience sake and not having the feeling of being rushed it's best for them to be relatively close.
Labs - Generally students like to have time before a lab to go over it or do prelabs
Tutorials - Most tutorials are pretty chill and student don't mind having them between their classes (like 1 class, tutorial and 2 classes all in a row). However, some tutorials have presentations in which case it may be best to have them not in a row with a bunch of classes.
Breaks - Lots (3+) of 1 hours breaks within the day can get annoying as off campus students have to stay on campus. It also tends to make the day longer. Long breaks can also be annoying for off campus students if they have to commute (Sauga, Toronto, etc).
Important: Make your schedule to YOUR liking. If you are a night owl, choose night sections and afternoon classes. If you are a morning person then choose 8:30 classes. So, you either want to start late and end late or start early and end early. Although for some programs you are also able to start relatively late and end relatively early. I personally wouldn't recommend having some days where you start early and end early and then other days when you start late and end late. Routine is really useful. If you have two random 8:30 days mixed in with three 11:30 days, then you'll tend to want to skip those 8:30s (if you tend to sleep in on those 11:30 days).

No problem, it's better than replying to every post repeating the same thing over and over again.

Can someone quickly look over my timetable (Term 1 and Term 2) and tell me if I need to make any changes. Thanks.
Edit: Just realized the attached images are too small, I will repost bigger images later.

Just wondering, what are the chances that I can change my whole schedule around? :\
I made a mock schedule for both terms, that balanced my classes well, when I was selecting my courses but I didn't get any of the slots

Depends how hard you try. In first year I switched around roughly 75% of my sections in both terms.
