Taking a break from the regularly scheduled fangirling to plead for school-related advice:

After dwelling over this for the past few months, I've decided that when I head off for college, I'll probably focus my studies on East Asian Studies and Foreign Affairs rather than anything writing-related. So basically, I need to start taking Japanese class more seriously, and I should also start learning other Asian languages too.

Since I'm a Dong Bang fanatic at the moment, I figure I may as well start with Korean. But my problem is, I can't take Korean I next year unless I drop a class. I'm taking two Art classes, so my problem should be solved right there. But what I truly want to drop is my Science class for two reasons:

1) What I really wanted to take was Human Anatomy, but that class got dropped because of lack of funding or whatever, so I'm stuck taking a Science class that I have zero interest in.
2) Worse yet, the teacher of said class is someone who I have a bad personal history with. I've avoided him like the plague all year; I would hate to have to take another class with him as the teacher.

But I know that it looks "bad" to have three Science credits instead of the recommended four.

So my question is, should I take that Science class to pretty up my course selection for the colleges, or should I take Korean, which looks less good on record but will probably end up benefitting me more in the future?
