Hello , I'm in a very sticky situation this semester I have to take computer programming courses and much to my dismay I have no interest at all, there are only 2 options that I can take : take the semester off or continue and "hope" to get a decent mark?
What do you think I should do, the only thing is that Ill be put back a semester as of fall.
Thank you

How is this even a tough decision? Assuming you want to continue your education, just suck it up and take the class. Everyone takes a class or two they don't like.
