Here’s a typical day (Monday – Friday) at HCSSiM:

You’ll get up, and…

go to breakfast at around 8 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., and Peter Winkler of Dartmouth)

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.
