need an easy filler course

Well this really complicates things… I don’t know what my major is, which makes it that much harder. I hadn’t considered putting off Cell, I guess because I figured I’d have more success in Bio than I would Chem. I think for me it’s more just a fear of failure, as my chem class junior year wasn’t great preparation (easy A) while it seems like everyone else took AP. On top of that, I have yet to take calculus and haven’t touched a math textbook in quite some time, which I figure is another disadvantage. (And I’ve heard Schmel is rough.)

I don’t want to go in on day one and completely throw out any chance of a premed track, but I don’t see how I can possibly enjoy college life with such a course load.

Another thing playing into it is my undecided major. The only reason I signed up for Microeconomics was to explore a bit, maybe find something else I’m good at. This makes me hesitate to just drop it for a completely premed course, but at this point I guess I kind of have to take a leap of faith in premed or just quit it. Looks like I have some serious choices to make before September.

One more thing- do the chem labs usually last all 3 hours? The only one I am able to take is from 6-9 PM on Wednesday night, and I really don’t want to do that. I was hoping to do from 12-3 Monday, but I have a Spanish class that starts at 3. Would I be able to get department approval for this, or do the labs sometimes run late?
