Am back in the Honors Program, and am now registered for Greek and Roman Magic, so my course list for next semester is:

CLAS 3190: Pompeii: Life in a Roman Town (cross-registered with HISA and ARHS)
CLAS 4060: The Classical Epic
CLAS 4810: Greek and Roman Magic (Honors)
CLAS 6010: The Peloponnesian & Punic Wars (cross-registered with HISA)
ENLS 4460: Shakespeare I (MEMS)
HISA 3150: Age of the Vikings (MEMS)

That gives me six classes, eighteen credits (though apparently I could knock P&P up to four credits somehow, thus making it nineteen; I'll talk to the prof, since that might help my GPA), thirty-six books, four classics classes, and two MEMS classes. I expect to be sleeping on a pile of books within a fortress of books, and perhaps occasionally showing my face to go to class or the library.

Things to do: e-mail the Latin 101 prof and find out how far into Wheelock the class is expected to go, since I just realized that my six-week summer session will probably not cover as much as a sixteen-week regular semester, but I still don't want to take 101 in the fall; start looking around online for cheap copies of the books; figure out if I'm going back early to help with move-in; decide on meal plan; did I mention the books?

In conclusion, my schedule is -- not bad, actually. I'll be done by noon on Mondays and Fridays (score! I love getting done early!), on Tuesdays and Thursdays I've got a three hour break between Shakespeare and the Classical Epic, although I have Greek and Roman Magic right afterwards (which is probably going to be in the same building, since I've never had a classics class that wasn't in Newcomb Hall, although apparently Pompeii is in Woldenburg), and on Wednesdays I've got an hour between each class and I'm still done by 3:30. Tuesdays and Thursdays I won't be done till five, but whatever, I've done that before and it's not terribly bad, though I still prefer having afternoons free. (I keep trying and trying to get all morning classes, and it always fails because it turns out the profs don't like getting up early. *pouts* I know, I am the opposite of so many college students, but having mornings free drives me crazy.) Earliest class is a nine o'clock (MWF), then nine-thirty (TR), which is what I usually try for. (I had an 8:30 once. I nearly died.)

I love being a liberal arts major.

I found Wheelock very easy to study on my own - When I was in college, I had to do the first twenty chapters in Wheelock during the winter break to get into Latin 102 class that spring. I managed to catch-up in a fairly short time. It is definitely my favorite Latin textbook, and I don't think you should worry too much about missing 101 in the Fall.

your classes for next semester look awesome and make me wish I was in college again.

No, I've never used the workbook. I just did all the exercises in the textbook and then I bought a few readers. I also bought "Fairy Tales in Latin", "Winnie Ille Pu", and of course "Harrius Potter et Philisophi Lapis" which are certainly my favorite things to read in Latin.
