Does this course load seem too much?

This semester I'm taking 5 courses which add up to 16 credits in total:

1. 3 credits - Immunology (just lots of reading/studying to pass)
2. 4 credits - Intro to Neuroanatomy with Lab (also a writing intensive class, but apparently only 1 20-25 page essay is required)
3. 3 credits - Comparative Physiology (reading journal articles + quizzes, plus 2 journal presentations simple enough)
4. 3 credits - Physiological Mechanism (writing intensive, three presentations each 5-10 pages + one 25-30 journal style paper on a disease)
5. 3 credits - Creative Writing (online class)

I also work on the weekends 8 hours (sometimes, depending if they need me or not)
I'm not really doing anything else besides that except volunteering with my club here and there.

If I do drop one (I'm thinking physiological mechanism) I'll be taking 13 credits, which seem to low for me as a graduating senior.

Looks doable but you going to be tough. Its all about perspective. If you have a good GPA then you may as well. If you have a bad GPA I would rethink it.

You know yourself better than us. If you can get a good GPA then keep it. If you think you will end up with some bad grades, lighten the load.
