  I will be using python to test and
  develop course selection / schedule
  generation

  this is honestly terrible code but 
  this is not an easy task for me to
  do
'''

'''
schedule example:
schedule: {
  "semester1": {
    "block1": "className",
    "block2": "className",
    "block3": "className",
    "block4": "className" 
  },
  "semester2": {
    "block1": "className",
    "block2": "className",
    "block3": "className",
    "block4": "className"
  }
}
'''

'''
running example:
running: {
  "semester1": {
    "block1": {classCode:{"className":name,"students":[student Name]},classCode:{"className":name,"students":[student Name]}},
    "block2": {classCode:{"className":name,"students":[student Name]},classCode:{"className":name,"students":[student Name]}},
    "block3": {classCode:{"className":name,"students":[student Name]},classCode:{"className":name,"students":[student Name]}},
    "block4": {classCode:{"className":name,"students":[student Name]},classCode:{"className":name,"students":[student Name]}}
  },
  "semester2": {
    "block1": {classCode:{"className":name,"students":[student Name]},classCode:{"className":name,"students":[student Name]}},
    "block2": {classCode:{"className":name,"students":[student Name]},classCode:{"className":name,"students":[student Name]}},
    "block3": {classCode:{"className":name,"students":[student Name]},classCode:{"className":name,"students":[student Name]}},
    "block4": {classCode:{"className":name,"students":[student Name]},classCode:{"className":name,"students":[student Name]}}
  ]
