and if you eat all that candy?

You will probably end up with a terrible tummy ache.

But seriouslly, I know exactly how you feel.

At one point, I remember looking through through
the graduation requirements and realizing that I
was only a few classes away from a japanese minor,
2 or 3 from a math minor, etc...
It is very tempting....

Are you really that close to a japanese major?
Could you graduate by spring 2005?
I suspect (from my own experience) that it would
probably take you close to 3 more years to finish
a cs degree.

I assume that even if you were fully focused on
getting a japanese major that there would only
be a few classes that you could take each quarter
that would count towards that major. Perhaps
you could also knock out some calc classes during
that time. You could then start on a CS masters.
Since it should only take 2 years to get a masters,
and assumeing that you could finish you japanese
bs in a year, you could have a japanese bs + cs masters
in the time it would take you to get a cs bs.

One big advantage of doing things this way, is that
working on a masters would open you up to a whole
new world of financial aid. Also, you could be
a TA if you were a grad student, which would further
reduce costs. Oh, and once you hit 25 (or sooner if you
were claiming yourself on taxes) your pell grant will
go through the roof. I am not sure how long you can
get a pell grant, but I was still getting it my
last year.

So anyways, happy to spread some more candy out
on the table for you.
