maybe you answered these already but i haven't read the entire thread yet.

Nah.. Haven't really talked about the why's behind my classload.

I'm just now finishing the end of my 3rd year of school. My degree plan is a 4.5 year degree if you take an average of 16 hours a semester. I've varied between 13 and 19 semester hours. I've done 19 once before at the tail end of my core classes (biology and psych classes out the wazoo), and yes it was hard, but that was 2 years ago, and life was much different then. I still got straight As.

The reason that I piled so many on this semester is because I'm in the final semester of all of my multi-semester classes, which was enough to fill a load on their own. Then, a lot of my required classes that only come around once in a blue moon came available this semester, too. Viola... Huge classload.

My final two semesters I can get away with 15 or less easy... Even retaking the classes I am dropping this semester.
