Taking it "Easy" Senior Year?

So I’ve recently decided that my top choice school is Emory University, I’m absolutely in love with that school. Throughout high school, I’ve taken as many Honors/APs as possible and with my current schedule I will graduate with 9 AP classes.

My senior schedule consists of
Periods 1-4: AP Calc, AP Physics, AP Econ, AP Lit
Period 5&6: ?¿?
Period 7: free period

So 5 and 6 i am currently signed up for a healthcare class that would take two periods. I’m not really interested in ever entering the field, I just have to choose between taking that class and taking Spanish+ an additional AP class(I’d choose AP Human Geo). I’m really stuck because I hate our Spanish program, the teachers are terrible and as much as I’m interested in the language the learning environment is really terrible, also Id have to take on another AP class. I’m going to be participating in sports, a job, and clubs after school on top of all of the other applications and things that senior year entails.

So basically, should I take it “easy” by opting for the healthcare class which would let me focus more on my harder classes or taking the Spanish 3/AP Human combo which would add a bit more to my resume?
