I actually can do the internship in the spring. I don't need to do full time classes. I thought I did because there are three legal electives I haven't taken yet and I need one of Access/Word/Excel/etc, but I only need one more legal elective.
If I take one of the pushing-things-about-a-screen electives and one law elective, I can stick with two courses (no need to stay a full-time student for my health insurance), or I can take one or two more law electives, or I can take a selection of Child Development, Abnormal Psychology, Spanish II, and Art History II, all of which are available online. (Online courses being so much easier than face-to-face courses, I'm not concerned about my ability to handle full-time work and full-time school when some of the courses are online.) Those four map directly to university-I-want-to-attend courses that fulfill breadth requirements (well, Spanish II is a prereq for Spanish III which is the actual course that fulfills the language requirement), and since I've already got credit for College Math and Stats, Art History I, US History I and II, Sociology, General Psychology, Computers and Applications, Calculus I, and Physics I, taking three of those four electives (no point taking both Child Development and Abnormal Psych, they fill the same req) would mean I'd only need one Creative Arts and Humanities course, one History and Cultural Change course, and Spanish III to fill my breadth requirements. Well, them and a multicultural course and a writing course, but the lists of approved classes for said requirements, I can throw a dart at each and hit a class I want to take. (For the multicultural, Cultural Perspectives on Food and Nutrition omg want, to name only one example. For the writing, selected sections of assorted omg wants including History of Sexuality in the US, which I'll probably end up taking anyway if I go with my current thought of minoring in sexuality and gender studies.)
So. Spring semester. Half-time student with spring internship vs full-time doing law courses with summer/fall internship vs full-time doing University breadth requirements with spring/summer/fall internship. Of those three, my most preferred option is the third and my least preferred the second, but what are your thoughts?
