German, French and English? Wow, I'm impressed, Jelena!

I did juggle both French and German in my first year of university too, and it was quite a challenge. Both courses were full-year courses, so they covered two semesters. German class (11 am) was mostly a breeze, studying mainly grammar and vocabulary, and reading very short stories. French class followed immediately at 12 pm, but it was also a literature course in addition to being a language course! After having to analyze and write papers on existentialist works such as Jean-Paul Sartre's Huis clos and Albert Camus' L'exil et le royaume, I figured I'd had enough of French (9 years!) and dropped it for good!
