And in the US, in my experience at least, employers don't care nearly as much which degree you have, only that you have a degree. Its only purpose is to demonstrate that you can put up with all the BS the university piles one you, and don't give up after the first (or third... or twentieth) tough spot.

I have also started making other changes in my life, I've quit my part time job so that I no longer have as many distractions from university work, started looking at methods of planning my time and am attempting to become an early riser and reduce my sleeping hours (whilst still maintaining a healthy level) in order to be up and ready to work when I'd normally be lay in bed for hours!
Sounds like you have a good plan. Congratulations, and good luck!
