Laurie,
Remember how smart and hard working you were when YOU were 3-years younger?
As you slack off in your work from Galactic to merely Stellar are you shorting yourself? Or, can you recover?
If you only need 4-units a semester for your sequence,
1.) take the opportunity to increase your academic breadth, and/or
2.) get off -campus a few hours a day --work a part time job, tutor, teach music students, coach, ...
In grad school, I kept having my thesis advisors take sabbaticals. I'd then have to "break-in" a new prof. That meant taking his specialty course sequence. That was irritating! BUT, all those extra studies turned out to provide breadth to my skill set and helped greatly in my career.
By time I got out of schook, I was really ready to break out. Ever since, I've missed the intellectual give and take of the university. I still love to hit a university library, gather a bunch of books and sit in a study carrel to study something new.
