I decided I was only going to do school part-time in the fall. But I'm conflicted. Mostly because one of my "required" classes is available online. So I feel like going on campus T/Th for an hour and 15 minutes isn't a lot of time, even though the class may require more scheduling. Right now I'm registered for "Child Psychology" online and "Literature and Language in Early Education." I'm thinking about taking a small 2-credit course, "Math and Science." Because, let's face it, the sooner I get the credits out of the way, the sooner I'll get to my practicum (student teaching) and the more skilled I'll feel about applying for jobs.
On the other hand, I feel pretty pushed to the limit this semester. And I plan on being full-time again in the spring. If I do that -- maybe taking it slow in the fall would be a better idea.
Either way, I'm filling up this summer with fun family times, and I'm really excited about having some freedom.

The great thing about online courses is not having to commute to/be in a physical classroom at a certain time. If, however, you've never taken an online course know that while you're the ideal student (proactive, organized, self-motivated, tech savvy, etc.), it really does take a lot of time, often much more than if you took the course face-to-face.
Whatever you decide, enjoy your summer!
I say you are killing yourself this semester and you deserve a break, if you can swing it in the fall.
Personally, I don't really like online classes because I feel like I'm not really "getting my money's worth" since I've never been in a class where I learned anything that didn't come out of the book. I much prefer lectures.
