Realistic plan?

But I'm guessing OP is doing multiple courses at TESU for aid purposes.

If you are close to 16 you might want to consider replacing some of the courses with TESU courses to avoid the wavier.

Yes, I'm doing Network Technologies and Statistics through TESU to get financial aid. So just the 9 credits, including the Capstone.
Wouldn't it be more expensive to do 16 credits with TESU than to pay the waiver? I do qualify for a Pell Grant if that makes a difference.

I don't know a lot about C++ at Straighterline, but 4-6 weekend days doesn't seem like much, unless you have prior knowledge.

How are you with writing papers?

I have zero knowledge of C++, so yeah I was thinking that too; getting it done in 4 weeks is cutting it. 

Writing papers.... I guess I'm ok with it, but I really, really, hate them. Maybe if I wrote more of them I would enjoy it more?? I don't feel like I'm an especially good writer, but it just may be my lack of self-confidence

I would recommend doing the Study.com courses first, at least 2/month and if you're fast, do 3 a month.  So, there are 6 courses, you should expect to have them done in 3 months time max.  You can also work the 2 TESU courses after, that will take 3 months.  

The capstone course, you can take by itself, it's the hardest course of all, so it's best if you're not taking anything along with it... So technically, you can have this done in 9 months time, you can graduate in Sept 2020 if you apply for graduation before the deadline.

Wow, that would be amazing if I could do that! Unfortunately, like I said earlier, I lose concentration a lot and can't stay focused. For instance, I had totally planned on taking History of the Vietnam War and Personal Finance together, since HOTVW is super easy and $200 a month for just one course is waaaay too much for me to afford. But, for some reason, it has taken me four weeks to complete HOTVW when I know I could have done it sooner (taking the proctored test tomorrow). So yeah, there's that.
