OP,
By now I think you get the gist of what everyone is saying. I, too, am struggling with trying to stay focused academically this last semester. But all I can offer you is this. As bad as sitting in class feels right now, as boring as some of your lectures will be, as brutally annoying as studying for your finals will be, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Now, picture that light being snuffed out.
Imagine combining ALL of that suffering into one feeling of disappointment - from not taking your Physics course. Let me be the first to say that I don't know your stats, nor your background. But I KNOW what it is like to have an adcoms door slammed in your face. I KNOW how it feels to be on the outside looking in, wishing you had an opportunity to change things when you cannot. The strength it takes to come back from something like what you are flirting with is not prevalent among many. I don't think you are built for the embarrassment/pain that your decision will cost you, your family, and your future children.
Take the course. Lose your summer. Pass it. Rest up before your classes. Start your new life without any self-inflicting burdens. GL
