You don't need biology at all in order to take Psych 1X03. It says it's recommended, but really, there's no biology whatsoever in 1X03. So you'll be fine if you decide to take it. Psych 1XX3 is when you'll actually need biology.

Hey! I'm taking almost all of the same classes as you, except for Anthro and CSCT 1CS3. I'll probably see you around If you're into history, Classics 1M03 looks pretty good too!

Japanese 1Z06 is the most enjoyable class for me. I won't say it's an easy course but I love attending the classes. It was always fun.

And I know about dropping a course if I got French. I'll just drop Thtr&flm. I don't even really want to take it. I was just trying to find a course to take. I think I'm going to just drop the theatre course and take sociology, because I'm guessing i will never get to take french :(
I was going to recommend sociology 1A06, did you end up switching into it?

Yeah I'm in it now. How's the workload in it? My highschool sociology teacher told us it's a lot more compared to other uni courses.

You teacher was probably referring to the fact that there are A LOT of readings in sociology. For actual assignments/exams it's not too bad, there was an annotated bibliography in first term, a midterm during December exams, the major paper due second term, and the final exam during the April exam period. I found it nice to have one less midterm to worry about during each term. Since you're in humanities though I don't think you'll have much trouble with it, humanities courses are pretty much all heavy on readings.
