I don't think she is able to just register for 6. They system won't allow her.

I graduated last year.

EDIT: Confirmed above, what happened with me. So if your wife has a 3.68 she should be good?

Weird. Her GPA over the last 10 courses is about a 3.8. And it won't allow her to automatically register for her 6th course.

I'll talk to her to see what's up

Some faculties you need permission to take the 6th course. I know business is like that.

I sometimes take 6 courses a semester and it's not too bad.

She's in education and kinesiology (double major) so maybe that has something to do with it.

I have less than a 3.0 and able to register for 6 courses? But then again I am an Arts major.

Only for one of the classes I'm taking I have a lab every 2 weeks, all the other courses have labs every week. Plus, labs do not count as a course...

You go without a lot of sleep. I took five courses per semester, and worked four shifts a week serving and/or bartending. I'd usually wake up at 6am Monday-Saturday, and allow myself to sleep in until 10am on Sundays. I usually went to bed around 2am. About once a month I'd sleep though my Saturday alarm and my roommate would wake me up around 3pm, so that I'd make my evening shift at the restaurant. It was tough to do, but it was only for 8 months at a time, and then the four months off between school years was easy.

I learned excellent time management skills, and how to prioritize very quickly. I also graduated debt free, which was great, especially when I started articling for $32,000 per year. I have a really good memory, and I'm not sure I could have done it all without it. This is why I intend to pay for the tuition and books for my nephew and niece, so that they won't have to work as much as I did during school.
