Would I be absolutely insane to take a WP2 class (CHEM 474, Biochem Lab) and a WP1 class (SOC 306, Soc Research Methods) in the same quarter?

Discussion

Hey folks, I need some perspective here. By fall quarter I'll be going into my fourth year here (Biochem major and Soc minor), and when I initially did my registration I enrolled for the two classes in the title, as well as one other (Molecular Bio). I'm a confident writer, and it's a light courseload on paper (13 credits), so I figured I could handle it. Thing is, as I'm considering undergrad lab opportunities (which would be about 9 hrs/week), it dawned on me that I might be on course for a disaster if two WP classes ends up being way more work than I expect.

Any advice on whether or not this is doable alongside a lab? I can't move CHEM 474 due to the department's restrictions, so if I needed to swap out SOC 306, would something like 304 or 356 be better as far as workload goes? Thanks in advance :)
