School Ponderings

anigoSo, $500 will give me half a credit. (One course = half a credit)
I have 6 Credits so far - the Certificate of Business Administration
A Bachelor of Business Administration is 20 credits (of which I have 6)
The Certificiate in Business Administration is another 6 credits
A Bachelor of Arts is 15 credits (of which, I think I can use all 6 of my current credits)
I work in a business type environment
So far the only advantage the business courses have given me are the confidence of knowing I have taken university courses. They haven't really taught me much I haven't already known. (Much of it is common sense - if you price something too high, people won't buy it. Who woulda thunk it!)
The stuff it has taught me is already gone because I don't use it. (Price Elasticity? PFFFFFFFT!)
At least 4 and a half of the next 6 credit courses are BOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRING (Statistics, finance, managerial accounting...)
If I should stay in the BBA program, I'm a third of the way there.
If I switch to a BA program, I'm almost half the way there.
What to do, what to do.
Ok, let's think small picture.
I can take electives now. I have a couple I'm allowed to take. Let's take something fun that could go towards either program.
So, then the question is this. Two courses or one? What about a distance course and an in-class course? That'd keep me home more often. What about just one fun course to use up the $500. What course?
Here is the undergraduate calendar. Anybody have any suggestions?
Damn me and my ambition. I *know* I could do two courses a term, but I know it spreads me too thin.

Are you in the BUSI program and saying you can take electives from the others?
Where's the second half of the sailing report?
Am I on your calendar?

Art would be the most fun. I think Psych is fun too. I get way to serious during womens studies.
