First of all, should I change my hair color more? Should I go redder, or lighter, or back to the natural color?
Now that we got the important one out of the way...which is more important, the Honor's Program or a minor in Philosophy? I can't do both unless I take 18 hours and 19 hours the two semesters of my senior year. I can study Classics and write a thesis about Classics in Grad school, but will I get a chance to take Philosophy classes when I go to Grad school for Classics? No.
These are the things I'm taking in Sicily:
1. Advanced Readings in Latin: Tacitus
2. Advanced Readings in Greek: Thucydides
3. Roman Archeology and Art (field trip class - whoo!)
4. Plato (enough said)
5. Beginning Italian.
Yes, that's right. I have been given permission to commit suicide and take Advanced courses in Latin and Greek when I should be going into 2nd semester of Intermediate. Unfortunately the Mediterranean Center for the Arts and Sciences just isn't offering those this Spring. If I choose to remain in the Honor's Program, I will be taking Independent Readings as well, but if I dropped Honor's now, I could take 6 hours of Italian instead of 3.
Decisions, decisions...I've actually started thinking about where I want to go for Grad school and I'm thinking it may be somewhere hard to get into....

Hey!
I'm afraid I can't be of much help on the philosophy question, since my primary advice would be to forget the whole thing and take math or something...Actually, I'll just throw out that if you're looking into a difficult grad program, it might be in your best interest to stick out the Honors because a) it looks good and b) if you quit, even though you have a good reason, you may be pre-judged for doing so.
You've started thinking about where you want to go for grad? Tell me, tell me!
That said, I hope you're getting excited for Italy! Yay going abroad!
Take care, get some sleep, and eat some chocolate!
