Sorry, just doesn't seem believable to be taking 20 credits and working 40 hours a week; casually taking an additional 24 hour shift on occasion. Even someone intellectually inclined to excel could not effectively handle that course load. Something's got to give. Either you: (a) are lying through your teeth; (b) have terrible risk/benefit analysis skills; or (c) aren't telling us something. Regardless, you'll probably fail out or drop a few of these by the end of the semester.
I am also curious as to how you came up with those credit hours? Biochemistry is almost always offered as a 3 credit course, and so is Quantitative Chem. As far as I know, Organic Chemistry with labs through the series are required for admission to a medical school, and oftentimes, those two are co-requisites within the university—so I find it curious that you aren't taking them.
3 labs, normal? When those labs are for physical chemistry, physics and quantitative chem, it isn't normal. At all.
220 Quantitative Analysis 2-credit Course Prerequisite: CHEM 106 or 116. Theories of quantitative chemical analysis; statistical evaluation of data; chemical equilibrium; volumetric and gravimetric methods of analysis; introduction to electrochemistry.
222 Quantitative Analysis Laboratory 2-credit (0-6) Course Prerequisite: CHEM 220 or concurrent enrollment. Application of classical methods in volumetric and gravimetric analysis; acid-base, redox and EDTA titrations; ion-exchange chromatography; introduction to spectrophotometry.
So that is 4 credits there for quantitative chem...
303 Introductory Biochemistry 4-credit Course Prerequisite: CHEM 102 or 345. Modern biochemistry for undergraduates in the biological sciences.
4 credits there for biochem...
348 Organic Chemistry II and Problem Solving 4-credit (3-2) Course Prerequisite: CHEM 345 with a C or better. Advanced concepts in organic chemistry including mechanisms and multistep-synthesis; problem analysis and critical thinking development in organic chemistry. Credit not granted for both CHEM 346 and 348.
4 credits there for the lecture, and
here is the lab I am NOT taking
347 Organic Qualitative Analysis Laboratory 3-credit (1-6) Course Prerequisite: CHEM 345 with a C or better. Isolation, purification and identification of unknown compounds; for chemistry and biochemistry majors.
O chem 2 + lab is 7 credits at my university. Biochem is 4 credits without a lab, and quantitative analysis is 4 credits with lab and lecture.
If you're not a paramedic or EMT, then you probably wouldn't know what 24 hour shifts are like. You're not awake for the entire 24 hours. I run maybe 6 or 7 calls per shift on average, so that leaves a considerable amount of downtime to study or sleep.
My cumulative GPA is 3.9, and sGPA is 4.0 and this is the last semester of my senior year. Will take ochem 2 lab in the summer. Sure, this is the hardest course load I've had, but it's not like I haven't taken several science classes in one semester before.
