I dropped my vector analysis course from my fall semester because I couldn't do any of the homework without any outside help or from my professor, which made me think that I wouldn't be any good when taking any tests. Now, I'm deeply regretting this decision for two main reasons:
(1) There are plenty of users on here who always ask for help on this forum on at least a weekly basis, so it's not a bad thing to always ask questions. On the other hand, I didn't feel like I could succeed on the tests I will be taking, since I would be lost without anyone guiding me. I just couldn't process the material all that well, and I had a feeling that the course would only have gotten more difficult as I went on.
(2) Now I have to take one more math elective next semester, and I'm stressing out about how hard the extra course load will be. I know that it's only twelve credits, but I'm still worrying about if I am able to handle it. I mean, if I drop classes just because they get too hard, then it won't really bode well for me come spring semester where I have four-thirds the usual class work for me to do. I can't just drop courses because they're too hard, because I need them to graduate.
In any case, I just dropped my vector analysis course and am now ruminating about if I did the right thing in addition to trying to live with the consequences of my action. I know I'm being overly dramatic, here, since it's only a college class. But I'm not really proud of myself at the moment. I feel like a quitter.
