[SIZE="2"][COLOR="Navy"]Hi Jennifer! I read your mention of the fact that you took 21 classroom credits in 1 semester. Thank God for you!
I am planning to take 24 credits next semester because I feel the same way as you do about plowing through the rest of this so I can just get done. Anyway, I have attempted to illustrate my schedule here. Will you tell me if you think I am totally setting myself up to fail, or if it looks like it will be OK?
Total Quality and Team Development (UL-7 weeks long)
Applied Statistics (UL-7 weeks long)
Human Resource Management (UL-7 weeks long)
Labor and Industrial Relations (UL-7 weeks long)
Intro to International Business (LL-14 weeks long)
Principles of Accounting 1 (LL-14 weeks long)
Physics/Introduction to Astronomy (LL-14 weeks long)
Bowling (LL-6 weeks long)
In reality, I will never be taking more than 5 classes at a time because my upper-level courses run in 7 weeks increments (I am not counting the 1-credit bowling class because that is only 1.5 hours on Friday mornings for 6 weeks). Also, no more than two of the five courses will be "in class" at one time because the rest are available online. However, I am somewhat nervous that I am cramming several really difficult subjects into a short time span. What do you think?

LOL No, I liked your answer. It's real life, and I think sometimes it's easy to think "everyone else" has it easy and only "I" struggle. Everyone here is juggling, everyone here is making sacrifices and working hard.
My son earned his black belt after 8 years, and along the way I told him time and time again, "if it was easy, everyone would have one" and I think that's true for a degree too. I meet more people who dropped out of college than who are graduates.
In my opinion, if you let too much time pass (taking a break) it's MUCH harder to bounce back- so I say double up your credit load and get done in half the time. (I once took 21 classroom credits in a semester hilarious)
