I am currently a sophomore physics student taking a pretty rough course load and am struggling quite more than was expected. I took computer programming as a class "for fun" but it is totally blowing me away. I think I currently have a C in the class and it does not appear to be getting easier, especially since my obligations to my core classes are beginning to stack up. My problem is I took on too much this semester, 17 credits and outside research with a presentation coming up in January at the AMS, and I feel like I'm drowning. I don't know which would appear better on a transcript, a W or a C which would bring down my gpa. It is not just the C from it, the amount of time required for the work is interrupting my other course work. For example, I have spent the last 4 weeks straight either in the library or my home, from 7am to 9pm studying. I have no problem putting in the work, it's fun actually, but when I do, I expect results, results which as of late I have not been enjoying. Sorry for the rant, stress is wearing on me, so my question is, what should I do? Thanks in advance, and hats off to those who didn't crack at a point like the one I seem to be at.
