Nah I am doing breadth subjects, its just that the breadth track I'm doing begins with a subject that only runs in semester 2.

Which breadth track? Either way, you don't have to stick to that 100%. Lots of people do different breadth subjects that aren't even remotely related to each other. So you can take an unrelated breadth subject this semester and then start on your track next semester. That way you wont have to overload or do a summer semester in the future.

Personally, I just think it's easier and less stressful to do all four subjects this semester.
The dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.

There's a lot of issues with doing three subjects, the first is that since you're not completing 24 points of study, you're not exactly a full time student, because your load is less than full time, so you'll be considered a part time student, which can affect, amongst other things, youth allowance and/or scholarships.

so wrong on many counts. three subjects = 12.5 x3 = 37.5 credit points. 2 or less subjects is considered part-time as said above.

You can do 2 subjects a semester without being scared (provided overloading in other periods).
