1) Is it good to have labs Monday right in the morning when i will be half asleep or should I change if possible and
2)Is it good to have 4 straight different classes in 1 day?

1) If you're not a morning person, I would avoid 8:30am labs if possible. From experience, being half-asleep in a lab results in lab errors and bad results 
2) It's up to you. Since you don't have anything else that day, it should be fine. You might want to bring a snack or something so you don't get hungry, but it's definitely doable  |

1) If you are usually tired on Monday morning then switch it. Plan your schedule around your own time.
2) It all depends on how you learn. Can you sit for 50 minutes and learn from the professor with 10 minute breaks between each class? If you can then do it, if you don't think you can then don't.

Besides attempting to move 1st term wednesday class at 7pm-8.30 pm, what else should i make? 2nd term wednesday seems empty along with 1st term mondays.
And, whats with the 2 for 1 combo? Can be seen term 2 from 2.30-5pm
And, is econ classrooms far from math/engineering building? I don't have much time to blitz from one to another.
Am i missing anything for engineer 1? Compared to site, i'm not. But i feel like i am.

You have 10 minutes to walk from class to class which is about the time it takes for a brisk walk across campus.

I don't have any knowledge of medrad schedules so I can't say.

You shouldn't post your student number anywhere... and it's too small.

It looks alright, you could move some tutorials around if you prefer it that way but it looks like a normal first year science schedule. You could also move the Psych 1X03 core, but you'll still have a 1hour break which kind of sucks. I personally would rather just get Psych out of the way during that time.

Term 2, well, you can't do much about moving classes/labs/tutorials around with all those mandatory courses. But it looks good.
Term 1. Remember that you have that 1a03 class on wednesday either that 8:30 OR 5:30, so you'll never attend both.
