Hello,

Are you currently working or just taking those four classes or are you working and taking those four classes?

Are you good in math and history? Is English your first language? Have you ever taken four classes in one semester before? How did you do? Some questions to help get you thinking because only you can truly decided if this workload is too much for you... =)

I work full time as a LPN first shift hours (flexiable schedule), Im also a single mom to a 8yr old little boy who is pretty self seficient. I've taken 3 classes at once. This would be a first taking 4 at once. And yes, English is my first lauguage. So far my grades are all A's and B's. Also those 3 classes I took where half semester classes and I did well.

Then maybe that's your answer =)

Personally, I am enrolled in an LPN program (1st semester) and am going to take humanities (starts Jan) and political science (starts March) and then two more classes during the summer (flex classes) (while continuing with the LPN program) to complete my Associate's Degree so I can finally have a feeling of accomplishment. Am I taking on too much as well? Maybe, but at this point in my life, I am tired of being held back because of deadlines and want everything to fall into place and I am the only one who can start to put things into place.

I think if you truly believe you can handle this workload, then do so, see what the expectations are during the first week of class and if maybe cutting down to 3, 2 or even 1 course is best then at least you can get a refund =)... it doesn't hurt to see where your limits are.
