My impression seems to be that it's a lot better to have the lower grades freshman year than later. If you buckle down and do better now, obviously those grades will affect your cumulative GPA, but it will also show the trend that you're taking classes more seriously. If you have a 4.0 freshman and sophomore year, then a 3.5 first semester junior year, it looks a lot worse unless it's readily explained (ie you went from 0 to 6 honors/AP classes).
And with everything else you have, I don't think it will be a problem. Either way, not much you can do about it now so focus on what you can change!
