Problems With Freshman Year And Schedule For Sophomore Year?

I don’t know what classes I should take next year!
This year has not been my best.
Last semester, I had an A-, 2 B-'s and a D.

This semester… I’m not sure where I’m going to be… but best case scenario is an A-, 2 B+'s, and a B.

This semester, I got Spanish 63, Writing 20, Math 103, and Econ 51D (in Leachman’s class… the average grade is a C- now… I think it’s too late to withdraw now.)

Right now, I’m at a B (Spanish 63), B- (Writing 20), and 2 C+'s (Math 103 & Econ 51) (one is actually even lower but I’m taking the ‘drop the lowest grade’ thing to heart)…
When pledging is done with next week, I HOPE I can make up for some lost time…

Spanish 63 & Writing 20: I hope I can bring these grades up easily. Writing 20, I noticed, that there is a correlation between grades and how much time is spent on the paper. I ‘failed’ a paper that I did at the last minute, which is making my grade so crappy right now. Spanish 63, I don’t know. I do well on the written exams, but haven’t been doing so well with class participation, oral exams etc.

Math 103 & Econ 51: I decided to start studying earlier for these classes. However, this week has been tough as pledging has become more time-consuming… love the frat though and don’t regret it! Leachman’s class is crazy with its grading system.

Here are classes I’m looking at.
Psy 11, Psy 114, Math 104, Stats 103, Spanish 76, Econ 55, History 100-level class, Phy53L…
I’m thinking of taking five classes next semester if I can get my act together this April to bring my GPA up.
Psychology is one of my greater interests, but it is tough to get a job with this major while it is much easier with Math/Econ (my current set of majors, hopefully…). However, I am seriously considering giving up on Math.

Any recommendations?
Also any recommendations on how to improve study habits?
