I Find Myself Worrying

So, I just did an outline of my schedule next semester, and I discovered some interesting things.

Next semester I will be taking 4 Political Science classes, one Philosophy course, one Human Performance (PE) class, and Colloquium. That's a total of 18 hours. I could cut back on a Political Science course, but that's still 15 hours.

After that, I'll only need 30 odd credits. This includes my Philosophy degree requirements, my Political Science degree requirements, and my BA requirements. Now, 30 hours could easily be completed in two semesters. This means that, not only could I graduate early, I might HAVE to graduate early.

This scares me. It really does. If I have to graduate early, what am I to do for the six months I'm not in school? I have to get a job. Could I get an internship? Where? My dad can get me one at the VA, but that's unpaid. Where will I get money? I don't want to work an internship and another job. That's too much stress. Where can I find an internship for a couple months that's paid and will accept me? I could volunteer. I could put in effort to start a grass roots campaign of some sort. I can bum around in Waco on someone's couch (I'm looking at you Cahnz). I could go to Austin, get a job there.

Will I get to walk across the stage with everyone else? I want to wear that awesome African garb as I walk, will I get to do that?

If I'm so worried about graduating early, why don't I just not take summer school. That would seem to be the correct solution. But it unnecessarily complcates my schedule. I could take extra classes. Electives if you will. But if I get a bad grade in those classes, I take down my GPA just because I didn't want to graduate early.

Ugh, looks like I'm having another talk with my folks.
