<p>Hey everyone, this is a actually volleysnap-I just decided to go for a little change of name to reflect my new school :)</p>
<p>Anyway, I have been getting ready for SOAR and have put together some tentative classes for the year. What do you think? As you can see, I am a bit more into the humanities than the sciences but I am trying to integrate the basic requirements as well. I don't want to regret not taking more science/math etc so I would really appreciate any advice on class selection, etc. Really any advice you have would be hugely useful.</p>
<p>As you will see, I am just trying everything I have an interest in because I don't want to assume my current interests are permanent.</p>
<p>Some stuff that got cut out was biology (with lab), political science, statistics, intro art class, and some other stuff</p>
<p>In short:
1st semester (aka my "Eat, Pray, Love" semester):
honors literature
Italian
Algebra
Intro to Buddhism
Intro to Yoga Practice
--> 14 credits</p>
<p>2nd semester (aka my comprehensive review of the ologies semester):
Honors Philosophy
Astrology
Honors Psychology
Archaeology
---> 14 credits (probably will tack another 2 credit class on here)</p>
