Thanks so much, Jesse, Jennifer, and 94steve. I just needed to be slapped around a little to regain consciousness. :o I was already a bit concerned about how to explain a history degree, but LS might get even more frowns.
Jesse, your feedback is what I was especially looking for. I'm pretty sure I'll stick to the plan now and just tough it out. Maybe I'll tackle the psychology ECEs I have planned for my focus next and save the two more history courses for later next year, when I'm less tired. I thought about taking the American Dream ECE, which would give me the 6 credits I need. But after seeing what folks here had to say about it, I'm afraid there's no way to sufficiently prepare for it, and it would drag down my GPA.
Funny thing: I mistakenly requested approval to take the World Conflicts Since 1900 ECE, which I didn't think would apply to any of my remaining requirements, and it was actually approved. The advisor didn't say how it would apply, so I've asked for clarification. Maybe, just maybe, I can use that to eliminate one of the remaining courses.
