i was hoping to discuss my course and workload with you as i'm struggling a lot these days, managing everything related to my academics, as well as my part-time job. it's getting a lot for me to handle and i just feel like because i'm doing so much at once, i am not able to do that properly. so if possible, could you maybe recommend me how to go about it? and i would really prefer it if i can just drop one of the causes and focus on the rest so that i'm performing my best at it.
