i will talk to my academic advisor and tell him about my time management, about my part-time job and managing my coach work. if he advises me to look for any alternative options, i will add up to those since dropping one course, maybe a problem for me in the future. if there is any alternative options to mitigate that risk, i will follow that. if there is no option that i can take up then i will drop from first after speaking with back and we cut this.
