What course are you doing?
Physiology is always going to be much more practical and more interesting unless your going into a field which requires the biochem. (I do both)
I envy your timetable btw.
EDIT:Sorry didnt read your post properely, if your going to be doing both, take physiology first. If you have an understanding of how something works before you get into the chemistry of it, you should find it easier.

I found biochemistry was much easier and intuitive for me, except it was boring as fuck. Physiology was extremely interesting and frustrating at the same time. I don't know if the content of our courses would be the same or whatever, but if you want an easier GPA go for Biochem, if you want to learn something interesting and useful, go for Physiology.

Physiology I found much more interesting. It's very conceptual but then again, Biochem is too to a degree.
What major are you? Imo, I'd go with Biochem first.

lol, kinda what I figured with your depth of Korean classes. Any specialty with that bio? Biochem? Cell Bio?
and ffs, 3 AM, you're not asleep either? -_-

take biochemistry
also, physics for the life sciences sounds like a complete blowoff class
same with "Advanced writing"
man they need manlier course names at USC

physics for the life sciences (135) is basically standard physics for non-engineering science majors. i've never taken physics before so it'll probably be fairly challenging for me.
and then you have the dumbed down version which is physics 100, for people needing a science general education requirement to fulfill.
then you have the 150 series which is for engineers, and the 160 series, which is the engineering honors physics (death).
WRIT-340 is a tough class because you have so much crap to write. my roommate took it last semester and i think his final paper was this 50something page paper or something dealing with engineering (you stuff you write on is based on your major), so i'm in the "pre-health" section for WRIT-340.

Human Phys. is incredibly good, very interesting, not doing too well in it, but I find it fun and interesting. Taking Bio Chem. next semester but what I've heard from it its all basic memorization. Would go Human Phys. Instead of BioChem if your taking Physics. Although Physics is not too bad on an Algebra based level I think it would be less of a work load for you.

I am taking both Biochemisty and Physiology right now. I guess to compare them is if you liked Organic Chemistry I and II then go for Biochemisty. Physiology is just learning about the different chemical pathways/channels within the body, nerves, etc...
