Hey!

So my next door neighbor is going to be working at a nail salon downtown over the summer. She's a single mother with two kids, and both of them are too young to be left alone by themselves. She's gonna be working noon to six four days a week, and she needs someone to babysit her kids. Since my family and hers are very close, we've been helping her out long before her husband died, my neighbor asked me to babysit for her. I'd be getting paid $150 a week over the course of about eight weeks.

Under normal circumstances, I'd be accepting right away. I love those kids, and who doesn't need some extra cash, right?

But I skipped a grade this year, I should be a freshman, but I'm a sophomore. My family made an arrangment with my school: I'd skip a grade and make up any credits I needed to to graduate because I'm at the academic level of a sophomore. But now the school is saying since I'm short by one credit, I can't be a junior next year. So in order to be a junior, I need to take a class over the summer to make it up. Not summer school, but like a college course over the summer. If I do this, since it's only gonna be over the summer, I'll have loads of homework.

The problem is, if I take the babysitting job, I'm worried I might not be able to get all my homework done, and take care of two young kids. I really want to take the job, but if I'm going to be taking the class, I'm not sure how I'd be able to structure it all. Any ideas? Should I take the job? Or just focus on the class? Thanks guys!
