Here's a typical day (Monday - Friday) at HCSSiM:
You'll get up, and...
go to breakfast at around 7:30 a.m.

be in class from 8:34 - 12:34 (during the first three weeks, this is all one four-hour class, and during the last three weeks it's split into a 2.5-hour class and a 1.25-hour class)

eat lunch, and then do stuff during the afternoon. Maybe you'll play frisbee (even with Kelly!),



or play bocce,

or work on the program journal, or take a nap.


You're likely to see wildlife about, such as a chipmunk or baby birds.

Then at 5:00 (17:00), you'll attend Prime Time until 6:00.


(these are Susan Landau of Sun Microsystems, Jim Propp of UMass-Lowell,
Rob Hochberg of East Carolina Univ., Peter Winkler of Dartmouth, and Bill
Martin of Worcester Polytechnic)
at which point you go to dinner,
then get a break until 7:34 (play frisbee during the break? even in the rain? sure!),

have problem session from 7:34 - 10:34,


hang out until 11:17 (quiet time).

Of course, there are variations on the schedule: on Wednesday evenings, we have math movies from 7:17 - 8ish, so that problem session starts a little bit late. And on Saturdays morning class ends early for special math activities, there's no prime time, and instead of problem session we watch classic and popular movies.
