College Problems :(

Right now, I am so regretting taking only 12 units this semester. I am looking at my schedule and knowing that if I had taken 15, I could be setting myself up to graduate with less expense and less time. But I decided to take less and now I am frustrated with myself.

Right now, I have 2 options.
1) I can get the minimum 24 (or slightly more) units required for transfer and transfer for next fall
Or 2) Wait a semester, transfer next spring, take Summer school classes, save money, cover just about all my general education, yet postpone my years at Jessup even more.

The second choice is more difficult, less fun, and also less expensive. It also makes me wait longer to go to the school I REALLY want to go to. How much money does it save? Probably approximately a year's worth of tuition at Jessup (about $20,000). It would cause me to enter into Jessup slightly ahead of my class instead of quite behind. I would be given two years of being able to study my major and the Bible without many other distractions of general education.

But although it is what is most sensible and least expensive, I don't know if I want to do it. I want to go to Jessup so much. I know the quality of education is better just because it is biblically based, which I am not getting at ARC. I want to study the Bible and help people, not do dumb general education requirements. So I don't know what to choose. If money weren't an issue, the choice would be easy. I would go with option 1. That's normally my basis when I can't make a choice because I know God will provide the money, but this time the amount of money in question is HUGE. I'm not saying that God won't provide either way, I know He will, but it would be nice to not have to worry about where the money's coming from or how I'm going to cover tuition. The second option has a sense of financial security...well, at least more financial security than the first option.

What do you think I should do?
