I've been on vacation for 5 lovely days. Rising at I've posted several times about my teaching ambitions. I'm currently in graduate school to get my teaching license, with vague plans to continue after that (while teaching) to get certified in literacy.
When I started grad school, I planned on finishing the licensing portion of my class work in May of 2008. Feeling overwhelmed late in the first semester, I decided I would add on one semester, and finish in December of 2008. When I started this job, and once I knew I wasn’t entirely happy here, I figured out how I could rearrange my schedule to go back to my original plan of finishing in May.
It will be easier to go visit Toni in October, because I'll have less credits to worry about.
I may be able to take another vacation before student teaching, possibly in the beginning of 2008.
I'll have more time to save money for student teaching.
I make more money now than I will once I graduate.
I'll be less stressed school-wise
Not so much a benefit includes:
I will be working longer at a job I dislike.
I'll be spending nearly an extra year here.
My loans will be out longer so they'll earn more interest.

I've pretty much told you everything I think regarding this, but I think you need to weigh both sides and see what in both the short and long run will work better for you. I do think that sometimes one more semester or a little longer period of time at someplace that isn't so great (work) is worth what we get out of it.
As much as I love giving unsolicited advice, I think this is something only you can decide for yourself. I know what I would do, but that's me.
p.s. nice timpani. my brother is an uber-talented timpanist. that's a new word i just made up.
I don't think it's unsolicited if there's a blog post. What would you do?
whatever gets me through school the fastest.
but my circumstances are different than yours.
