Judge My Schedule PLZZ:)

OK here is my schedule for spring, i would appreciate for some feed back. Some people told me i am going to fail because these courses are pretty tough.

ECON414 Advanced Macroeconomics (Just as tough as game theory)
ECON407 Game Theory ( i hear EXTREMELY tough)
HONR238Z some BS writing class, ie, guarneeted A
MATH246H Calc III
HONR200 (1 credit) Reasearch Colloquilium ( have to take)
MATH241H Differential equations

Now, i can all take all of them total of 17 credits, or drop one of the either econ classes. There is no way im dropping one of the maths, there small honor math classes and i am very behind in math, im a sohmore and i know freshman taking these classes. I was leaning towards droping game theory because, despite my enthusiam for the subject, i took Econ 305 (Intermediate Macroeconomics) and i studied my ass of for it, i got an A+ in the class, in other words my brian is in Macro mode. So i thought it would benefit me if i dropped game theory and went for Macro. Problem is if i drop a course, ill be taking 14 credits( sounds kinda low, need at least 16, but 14 is not so bad since there tough classes right?) So i am thinking about adding a 2 credit BS piano class. I dunno, what should i do guys, any suggestions? Are my classes tough, moderate or easy? is it possible to handle them all?

You switched up the names for 246 and 241. You're not behind in math anyway--the freshman you know in those courses (like me) are ahead of schedule b/c of APs and stuff. Anyway, I might be in your Calc III class--are you in Grillakis or Oruc? What's your major? Do you really need to go all the way through DiffEq?

honr200 will be a joke, and I hear the seminar you picked is pretty good. Other than that, it's really up to you. Remember you can choose to drop a class after the first week or two and not get a W, so I would advise sitting through it for a while and then decide whether or not you think you can manage the load.

first.... 14 credits is not low. i don't see how as a sophomore you "need" to take 16 credits anyway-- you still have 2 years of taking classes ahead of you.

second.... i think its going to be a lot of work with the 2 maths & 2 econs.... if you don't care about a social life, i'd say stick with what you have. if you don't want to be doing problem sets every night/weekend, i think dropping an econ would be a good choice. and since they're 400 level, you may as well take one of them when you're an upperclassman anyway.
