Okay, I have said this before, but I am saying it again as I try and work things out.
I'm looking at taking an accelerated Latin course at the University of Washington this summer -- the UW doesn't offer intensive Latin or Greek, and all the schools that do are out of state and considerably more expensive, and also the idea of having three years of Latin forcibly stuffed into my skull in ten weeks makes me want to cry. It's a four and a half week course, five quarter-credits -- I'd have to talk to my academic advisor to make sure this will transfer to Tulane and how many credits it will transfer to, and also check with my major advisor when I finally get around to declaring for Classics and make sure it will count towards the major. In theory I could do both the first and the second terms of summer quarter, only the last day of b-term ends right before fall semester at Tulane starts. (Last day is August 20, first day of classes is August 23, so it would be very awkward. On the bright side, I probably wouldn't have to pay for a hotel room; I could just go straight from my dorm at the UW to the airport!)
Anyway, from what I can tell from the UW summer quarter website, it wouldn't be significantly more expensive, to pick up another class. If I stayed for the full term, I could do Medieval Women (awesome). If I just do a-term, I could do Comparative Colonialism (potentially awesome. also potentially full of things that would offend me on principle). Or History of Christianity; I wonder if that would count towards Medieval Studies? And there's an a-term class called "Rome", that one also looks fascinating...
*muses* If I'm not doing an intensive language program, it doesn't seem like a terrible idea to pick up another class. (Although, damn, it looks like the only a-term lab science is at the same time as Latin 300. *pouts*)
