Good luck, my FRiend, that's a very ambitious schedule. Are you working fulltime?! If so, you'd better hope you have some very understanding bosses, 'cuz 9-12 hours per semester don't just happen without some flexibility from yer superiors. Don't be discouraged if yer goals take just a little longer to achieve than you'd like.

Thanks, Mud! Yes, I'm working full time. And yes, my bosses are marvelous. I report directly to the 4 partners of the company and manage two divisions. I've only been there 2 months (a little over) and made a HUGE impression. I hired a new marketing rep Friday to train. All that being said, I'm fortunate that at Dallas Baptist University many of the classes are also offered "on line" for adult students. I can take 99% of my classes on line (which means I'm up to all hours of the night studying, doing homework, reporting into the discussions and a lot of times I"m doing it on my lunch hour as well), there are one or two I'll need to do in the evening or on a Saturday. So far I'm carrying a 3.95 GPA (stupid A-) and I'm set (if I can continue the A's with only like 1 B) to graduate Suma Cum Lade. So, yes, I have very high ambitions! :o) Make no mistake, the on line classes are only easier in the sense of convienence. I have tons of papers to write, reading to do, exams, term papers, etc.
I have made an allowance that I might have to graduate Dec '05 rather than Aug '05 if I can't get some of the classes I need in. Then it's straight on to my Masters.
I'll try not to be such a stranger. ;o)
