Calculus III and Differential Equations at the same time...

Literally was 3-4 hours of sleep a night, with work and school taking up the rest of the time.
Good luck to you - it will be over before you know it and it's a character builder!!!
...now I'm seriously thinking about taking advantage of the company's Tuition Reimbursement program to do the Business Admin BA degree...

Holy crap!
That's pure masochism! I hear nothing but nightmares from people who get engineering degrees. Though my management degree doesn't require it, I'm thinking about taking some math as electives. It's not that I need it. I just never had to go further than the Algebra and Statistics classes. If I want to get a Masters in Management of Information Technology after this, I'll probably need some more math experience.
One thing that's always irritated me about general education requirements are the six credit hours of Arts. I mean really, what possible career advantage can fine arts give me? I guess it's good for being well rounded socially.
