ok! so I wanted to take chem31x and math51 and ihum (Ok, I didn't really want to, but they're making us right) and I want to take Japanese...but the placement test told me I was in 2nd year first quarter (only offered in Autumn) if I do all that, it adds up to 19 units! everyone says this is bad for the beginning of freshma year....should I just take math 51 next quarter so I'll presumably be more able to handle it?? what if I still cant? haha any advice appreciated.

/me shrugs 19 units is doable but not the best idea for first quarter. If you really want to do it, go for it. However, I think it's a great idea to take Math 51 in the winter because the curve is supposedly set lower, since the techie majors and premeds take it in the fall. I took it in the winter and did well. If you do this, perhaps you can find a fun class or seminar to do.

thanks for the tip! I think I'll take math51 winter quarter and Japanese now. then maybe take Japanese winter, if I think I can handle 19 units. XD
