What do you all think?  Too much?

Looks like you may be overloading yourself but can't really say. Just depends on how much pressure you can handle and if you plan on partying any. But thats comming from someone who hasn't gone to college yet. Hopefully I can start in a year or so.

I think if you are serious, and stay committed that that would be an awesome route to take. I think that is very interesting stuff.

Part of the trick is that I work at a local library, and for six hours a day I sit there and can do my homework.

Yes the problem with taking on such an endeavor, the homework and amount of time you will spend on it. Good Luck.
