Class troubles.
So I dunno if anyone here knows this, but I decided recently that I'm going to do a Physics major with an emphasis in Astronomy and minor in math. See the problem is, my favorite teacher (the only astro professor at Mac) is teaching a 400-level Cosmology topics course that he specifically requested that I be in, but in order to take that course, I have to concurrently enroll in Modern Physics (a 300-level physics track course).
The clincher though, is that at Macalester you have to be fluent in a language before you graduate, with fluency being measured as 4 semesters of a language. I don't have any sort of AP credit, nor am I good enough at Spanish to skip ahead out of the intro class, so I have to take some sort of "intro to" course.
Therein lies the problem, seeing as EVERY "intro to" course for every language is at the same time as Modern Physics, meaning that I sort of have to choose between my Physics track and my language requirement.
I'm going to see if I can get out of the Modern Physics requirement, so I can still take the Cosmology course, but I doubt that'll work, any suggestions for what I should do?
