I'm currently stuck between a physics major, which I am currently, engineering major, or adding a math minor. My problem is next semester, which is sort of a waiting semester since I don't have many options until these foundational classes are taken (for example, I can't take any other math classes until the calculus sequence is done or I can't pick and choose physics classes until I complete mechanics and E&M). I currently have 12 hours registered but I need 5 more and taking it easy is not an option or else I won't finish on time.
Currently:
Calculus II
University Chemistry II+Lab
University Physics: Mechanics+Lab
Physics Honors Topics (for majors)
-I don't want to do any more gen eds since I've finished them all through AP tests and summer classes so they wouldn't count for anything towards my degrees
-I'd rather avoid any liberal arts classes since the majority of the beginner classes in philosophy, for example, are weed out classes with boring professors and loads of reading, which neither do justice to the subject matter and make me lose my mind
-I have no academic interests this semester that I'd want to pursue
A tricky situation and perhaps I'm making it more difficult than it has to be, but my advisor is zero help. She suggested I take art classes and got really shirty when I politely pointed out that I would like to graduate on time and not have to run around like a loon my senior year.
The only option I can see is taking Introduction to Matrix Theory, which is a mathematics class and the only other math class I can take at this point in the sequence but that's only 2 hours, so I would still have 3 to fill. Are there any other classes that I could take at my level for science or engineering majors? I took computer science last semester and it worked out well but I'd rather eat my shirt than continue to take more classes in that area. Sorry if this sounds a bit rambling and, as always, I appreciate everyone's help.
