Good luck!  I got my associates in two years (5 classes a semester), while working full time.  That was insane, but it taught me a lot about budgeting time.  I did most of my homework the minute I got out of school, so that it was fast because it was fresh.  If I had big projects, I would do the entire thing at the library on my day off.  If I didn't finish it then, I would copy off or check out anything I needed, make sure to stop in time to outline what I had in mind so I wasn't starting over, and get to it ASAP before the idea went away.  It takes a lot of discipline to keep up with work that way, but if you drag your feet than either your grades suffer or you end up having no relaxation time.  There is no greater feeling of fulfillment than getting all of your work done, getting done with work, and actually having a few hours to kick around before bed.
