Further to the discussion of whether I should take ECON 330 this summer as well as WR 341: if I don't go at least half time over the summer, I owe one or possibly two payments on my federal student loans between mid-August (when my grace period expires) and end of September (when my full-time coursework kicks back in). I do not know, nor do I have any way of finding out until mid-August, how much that payment(s) is and what day of the month it's due. (thanks, loan servicer, real kind of you to make sure I can budget for this shit)
And if I'm doing the math right, I can pay all eight credits of summer courses in cash, without mucking with my financial aid that is set up to pay out in the three not-summer terms. I'd have to save from now till then instead of paying down debt, and pay on the installment plan because I wouldn't have enough saved to pay all ten credits up front as soon as the tuition bill comes out, but I could do it.
And that would, as I said before, get the F for ECON 330 off my transcript provided I pass the course this time, which would give my GPA a nice boost. But I am still not exactly thrilled by the idea of retaking this class. Mom and Dad still think I should not, or not this summer anyway.
ETA: I made up my mind and went to register—and MyOSU is down until sometime tomorrow!
