"Tough Decision"

The Decision: In order to complete my Bachelor's degree in Adult Education, I need an additional 7 elective college credits along with the required Kirkpatrick Series equal to 9 hours. My current plan is to complete the 24 hours of the required course and pursue the Kirkpatrick Series in the spring 2012, but what should I do about the 7 elective courses.
My choices :Contact my Online Academic Advisor to discuss my options and develop a plan no later than September 2011 or seek out a plan on my own after I've completed the required courses, which will be completed December 2011. Do I want to enroll in the Kirkpatrick Series immediately after completing the required course or pursue the electives first, or do I want to enroll in more than one class?
Information and Pros and Cons: There are many ways to fulfill the 7 electives, as I investigate these I will evaluate the time issues, convenience as well as cost. If I enroll into the Kirkpatrick Series immediately after completing the required course should I also enroll in an elective to complete my degree quicker? Not sure, and I will need to review if the course is available and what the requirements will be. Can I really manage the time required for both? Probably not as effectively as I would like. The cost should be the same no matter how long it takes for me to complete all the requirements, so that's a positive. Completing the degree sooner might lead to advancement in my career or maybe a change in my career.
"Best" choice: The "best" choice for me because of time, other life responsibilities is to contact my advisor and make a plan, and then revisits it as needed.
Plan of action:
Send an email to my advisor and schedule an appointment within the next 2 weeks. As we review the necessary information I will schedule additional meetings to seek guidance and adjust the plan when necessary.
