I'm the exact opposite. i wanted all my classes to be in the afternoon since i value my sleep :o
But it turns out that i have 9 am lectures on mondays.
we did create timetables. they basically asked us to select times that were most suitable for us, but there's no guarentee that you will get it. some lectures are displayed by default since you MUST attend them as they're not available any other time. i can't remember coming across something...
It might take longer for you though since I didn't have to fuss about picking subjects since they were all compulsory. they check your ID, throw you into a comp. lab and then send you to get your photo taken for your ID card.
