S did sign up for four courses originally, and decided to drop his SOSC after being so thrilled with his HUM that he wanted to extend the “Core awesomeness” as long as possible. He also shopped between three math courses for a week and a half. The two courses he thought would be really tough turned out to me not as time-consuming as he feared, so he had more time on his hands than he expected. He was glad it turned out this way.

From here on out, though, he plans on taking four a quarter unless he has some major research or graduate applications going on. (There is a seminar he may sit in on this quarter in addition to the four courses, but Chicago won’t let him take five classes, so it will have to be unofficial, but totally fun.)
