Yes, if I really wanted to do a shoddy job of it, I'm only 11 courses away from triple-majoring.

So now I really just have to decide what I want....
History w/ EA focus + EALC w/ art history focus
History w/ Combo EA+Europe focus + EALC w/ art history focus
EALC w/ history focus + ARTH w/ Museum + EA focus?

Regarding Art History... things I'd probably have to take/want to take:
14600. Baroque Europe: From the Council of Trent to the French Revolution. R. Zorach. Autumn.
15500. Nineteenth-Century Art: Revival and Invention. M. Ward. Spring.
16100. Art of Asia: China. H. Wu. Winter.
16505. Asian Monuments: Geography and Culture. J. Purtle. Spring.
26803/36803. Architectural Theory and Practice in the Enlightenment and the Nineteenth Century. K. Taylor. Spring.
29005/39005. Japanese Handscroll Paintings. (=JAPN 29005/39005) H. Thomsen. Spring.
29400/39400. Feminine Space in Chinese Art. (=CHIN 25105/35105) H. Wu. Winter.
34501-34502. Anthropology of Museums I, II. (=HUDV 34501-34502, MAPS 34500-34600, SOSC 34500-34600) M. Fred. Winter, Spring.

...

Or I can just "take it easy" next year, take fewer classes and find a museum job at the Field or Art Institute or something.

Well, I'm biased cuz I think that art history suxor major, but I think you should do the EALC and the history, and leave it at that. I think knowing some shit about art history will be more valuable than adding another major. Plus, I want to hang out senior year, and it'll be no fun if you're always studying and shit.

Given your interest in museums, art history is probably at least worth considering, especially given the two museum classes. But it would be a lot of work. European history's been making you unhappy, but you don't really need any more of those, do you? Decide which classes you like best, and work your major around them, ne? Also, I hear that taking it easy is pretty nice.
