Okay, since I am about twenty minutes away from registering for classes, and there is no chance of getting a different schedule approved now, I am going to express my fears about what I am about to do.
To start off, let me explain how I have come to this point. Next year, I am planning to study abroad second semester in Wales. Now I have no regrets about that, but Wales does not have the core program, and I still have four cores to go in the second semester before I can graduate. So I have to find something to do to get all my core requirements out of the way.
Now we get to what I am worried about. To make sure all of my requirements are taken care of, I am going to take three core classes this upcoming semester. That means that I will be going to one of three different lectures everyday of the week. All I can say at this point is that next semester is going to be HELL! But I don't want to take any summer classes, and there is no way I am going to double up with core 10.
So even though I am going to go through with it, my question is: is this really a smart move considering my goals? Or is this the dumbest idea that has ever been imagined by a student at this college?

It depends on what Cores you are taking. I assume you are taking something like 6 & 8 and one more...if that's the case, you might be alright. 6 is not that bad..it's just watered down science and, depending on your teacher, it is manageable and you'll learn a lot. Core 8 is really 50/50, depending on what teacher you get. If my estimations are correct, you'll be studying South America...I had Halgas, and it was a fun class (she gave extra credit, too!) You'll have like a 12 page paper due, but you need to start getting used to papers that are more than 10 pages. As for the other Core, I assume you are taking Core 4. Core 4 isn't that bad...you have like to write a paper on Thomas Aquinas and some other ethical issue, but that was really it. Core 4 is about the same as Core 3.
When it is all said and done, you'll have 12 credits of core...take one other 3 credit class, and I think it will be manageable. The Core reading is pretty spread out, to be honest with you! Good Luck!
