Erin, I'd opt for drop and suffer in the summer, but maybe that's only because I'm doing that. Like you, I'm on scholarship and I'm to be found in the ground when I take more than 3 courses/semester. Wish me luck this semester, though. I'm taking 4 regular courses and a 4-weekend seminar. In preparation for what may well be the killer semester, I'm building up my tolerance for alcohol. Funny, it's not that hard... cheers, Carol ----- Original Message ----- From: "Erin Holder" <erin.holder@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <lit-ideas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, January 16, 2005 9:15 AM Subject: [lit-ideas] Erin's Course Dilemma >I have a dilemma.
