Well, I had originally planned to graduate in December, but...
I was just checking the summer schedule from my university and I figured I can finish this summer if I take 17 credits. I'd be taking three classes everyday from Monday to Thursday from the end of May to the end of June and then I would be taking 2 more classes everyday from the beginning of July to the end of July (That would be three monts of work compared to 4 months if I'd do it in the fall).
However, this would require me to get a school loan (the first one I 'd ever get ) and I believe that schedule would keep me from working full time (well not really full time it's more like 35-36 hrs/wk) as I have been doing for 4 years now. My work is directly related to my studies (CS major) so I'll be graduating with experience. I am done with my upper level classes and the classes related to my major. All the classes I need to finish are mostly gen ed that I didn't take when I was a freshman. However, many of them require a lot of reading (Bio, Geography and Literature Class) and probably they also require you to write a lot of papers (with the exception of BIO which instead has a 3 hour lab).
Regarding my current job, I believe they would let me take a leave without pay, but I still have to discuss that with my supervisor. Last year, they let me take a 10 week LWOP so I could intern at Fatwallet (I had a great time there but that's another story).
This would be the first time in four years (I am 21 turning 22 in June) where I'd do nothing besides studying. I'd be graduating in August this way. I really don't know what to do, I guess I am looking for advice from people who had done it before. The poll is just for fun. Ultimately, I won't based my decision on it.

edit: I want to add that I will take at least 4 credits this summer ( they are night classes so they won't affect my work at all), it's only one class that has a lab.

. Everybody was awesome there, I can't talk about what I did because I had to sign a NDA. Anything else besides that just ask away!
