I've noticed most other schools do things quite differently from mine. I'm curious to see what your normal school day looks like.
Our school has a 6-day cycle. We have 5-period days. The school day goes from 7:30 to 2:45. I arrive at around 7:15-7:20-ish. The first 10 minutes are homeroom. Period 3 is about 2 hours long. It contains both a lunch period and a regular class. Lunch is divided into 4 groups, A, B, C and D. Groups B and C go to lunch in the middle of their 3rd pd class, while group A has lunch before it and D has it after. I'm group D. At the end of our pd 3 class, we have a 15-minute "community reading", but most teachers skip this when they feel we need more time to finish up the lesson, so students who have a class during 3rd period are usually ahead of those who have the same class in other periods. Period 5 classes are shorter and only worth 1/4 of a credit. They're way too easy IMO. They should be longer and more challenging.
At my school, we get new classes every semester.
My schedule:
| Period | Class | Cycle Day | Time | Length |
| 1 | Honors Chemistry | 1-6 | 7:45-9:00 | 1 1/4 hours |
| 2 | German I | 1-6 | 9:05-10:20 | 1 1/4 hours |
| 3 | Honors Biology | 1-6 | 10:25-12:00 | 1 hour 35 minutes |
| Lunch | 1-6 | 12:05-12:35 | 30 minutes | |
| 4 | Computer Programming II | 1, 3, 5 | 12:40-1:55 | 1 1/4 hours |
| Weight Training | 2, 4, 6 | 12:40-1:55 | 1 1/4 hours | |
| 5 | PA & Lancaster County History | 1, 3 | 2:00-2:45 | 45 minutes |
| Study Hall | 2, 5 | 2:00-2:45 | 45 minutes | |
| Environmental Science | 4, 6 | 2:00-2:45 | 45 minutes |

1 – LeaftailMy normal school day consists of 5 classes, 65 minutes each. We get one break, which is around 30 minutes long, after the first two lessons, then another break of length 15 minutes after the next two lessons. The day always starts at 7:40 AM and alway ends at 2:30 PM.
There are a few changes in other days of the week, though: on Sunday and Thursday, we have "Form Time" for 20 minutes after the fifth lesson, and on Tuesday, we have 6, slightly shorter classes than the other days.
10 periods, except on Wednesdays, where we have 11. We have eight 38-minute periods, a pre-lunch period where we have 46 minutes, and lunch, which is 30 minutes. On Wednesdays, the first three periods are shortened to 20¼ minutes, along with a basic study hall tacked on of the same length before the actual school. Confusing? Here, let me explain it with two tables.

Well it depends.
When I'm taking my shop Culinary, usually the day starts off with Career devolpment. Then we usually have theory for one hour then we work on our station to do whatever job I have. After lunch we usually just spend our time cleaning up and just hangout for the last half hour of the school day.
During academics I just have an erratic 7 period schedule of English 3, History, Algebra II, and Biology. Depending onthe day I'd also usually have Health, Art, and Gym.
Wow.
I spent a lot of time simplifying my original post to as few sentences as possible, not realizing how long and elaborate everyone else's posts were going to be.
So I might as well add to that original post...
Also ooh post 777 yeah boi
Also I'm gonna steal Emp's table idea. I'm sure he wouldn't mind...
Over here, schools have 6 periods. Each period is about50 minutes long I think.
School Starts at 8:15 and ends at 2:30

Hmm. This quarter makes me start early every day.
Mondays and Wednesdays: 8:30 - 9:50 a.m. Intro to American Lit.
12:00 - 12:50 p.m. Folk Music Experience
Tuesdays and Thursdays: 9:00 - 10:50 a.m. LGTBQ Health
3:00 - 4:50 p.m. Political Science Fiction
Fridays: 8:30 - 9:50 a.m. Intro to American Lit.
I like my Fridays because I have nothing left after that early class.
