I told you about my return to school a few days/weeks ago. I only planned 3 credits for the fall. I felt it was all I could handle. Somewhere along the line, that got transformed into 10 credits.
Still easy, 2 of these will be web-based courses, including a walk in the park Intro to Computers. Believe it or not, there is no way for me to test out of this class. A core requirement? Show proficiency in Microsoft Word and Internet Explorer.
Think I should direct the teacher to Ensight for a demonstration of my proficiency?
Still, one of the web based courses is going to be very difficult. It’s a math class and I just plain suck in math. It’s a fact of my life now so I’m going to make every effort to learn and excel (not the companion to the apps mentioned above!) in math. But it will still be tough.
The only class I have to attend class for, I actually look forward to taking on a purely self-enrichment basis. Sure it’ll apply to my major, but it will be a blast to be in (I think). That’s my entry level Programming class. 3 Hours every Saturday! W00t!
So, am I crazy to do 10 credits with a baby coming in September, a wedding in Georgia in October and returning to school after 9 years? Or should I find 2 more credits to make it a full time load?

Well you’re definitely crazy… Pretty sure that wasn’t the point of the whole post though.
If 2 of the courses are web-based it shouldn’t be a big deal. The course load in math will probably feel the heaviest, but it should all balance out

10 Credits = what? 10 Credit hrs?? If so, 10 shouldn’t be too bad, especially if 2 are web based.
And don’t worry, I’ll help you with your math

10 credit hours, yes.

Yea, why not pick up another class? Might as well get it all out of the way now.
