It's up to you, it's your schedule. Tailor it to the way you want it to be. Advice is good but if you follow everyone's advice then you are lowering your chances for contentment. If you are happy then that's all that matters.

That IS true...
Well, I just wanted some insight from upper years to see if 4-in-a-row was something I should stay away from or not. Right now, they gave me 7 hours in a row for Tuesday, with two labs back to back!

I would definitively recommend changing that. From my experience two labs on the same day sucks, not that much in first year but in upper years you get a lot more formals labs that are due on the same day. If you are not one who can concentrate on multiple tasks at the same time then it can get quite hectic.

Having lab reports due even one day apart helps a lot since you can concentrate solely on the lab report for at least one day.

Personally, I don't find 4 classes in a row to be an issue, since you pick up and leave every 50mins. Some people might find it really hard, though--it depends on the person.

Two labs back to back sucks, though--my friend had physics lab followed directly by bio lab followed directly by physics class. Even though all three things were in the same building, she was often late for bio lab and often late for physics class because the labs ran long, and her day was super-long. If you can't avoid it, then try to make the best of it, but I'd stay away from it if you can.
