I am currently considering only taking two courses for a total of 6-7 credit 
hours.  (Between, my summer semester lasts about 10 weeks.)  I will probably 
know for sure by Monday.  The following is a link to my school's calendar for 
the summer semester:

Let me know what you think.  If 11 or 9 hours are too much, then I will 
consider only taking two courses.  I will also ask for advice from one of my 
professors.
