<p>I'm having a minor problem setting my schedule for the fall semester. I had it all nice and set at 15 hours (five classes), and then an opportunity to take a seminar taught by a visiting professor popped up. The seminar looks fantastic in terms of what academic areas I'm interested in, and it's only taught this September through early November (normal semester is mid-August through December). So...should I try to add the class, raising my freshman semester course load to 18 hours and six classes? Or is that just insane?</p>
<p>Dropping a class for which I'm already registered is not an option; I'm wanting to triple-major (anthropology, history, literature) and do Honors College, so all my current classes are pretty much required:
Intro to Critical Reading and Writing
General Anthropology
Ancient Near Eastern Civilizations
Survey of African Civilizations
Classical Mythology (Honors)</p>
<p>Incidentally, the seminar is on modern Indian literature.</p>
<p>In high school, I was used to taking course overloads - my senior year schedule included four AP classes, marching band (very time-consuming in the fall), a couple of community college classes, and French IV - plus I was involved in several extracurricular activities. In college, I'm just wanting to do quiz bowl and symphony. I'm used to spending almost all my free time doing homework, and I'm pretty good with time management. But, of course, college is supposed to be so much more difficult and demanding than whatever you're used to in high school.</p>
<p>Advice?</p>
