Financial aid/admissions say I received one of the bigger packages (kinda in disbelief).
So where am I supposed to get the other $43,000/year from???

Private institutions, online scholarships, any other contest you can find that will award you money. Call your department or email different professors and see what scholarships other students have gotten in the past. Also look into financial loans and find the best program that will give you the best rate according to what you can pay off. Doing a little research and writing persuasive letters go a long way in terms of benefits received.

This math course has 90% failure rate, and my physics course has 85%~ death rate (course is called Physics 120, and people refer to it as one-hundred and death (it rhymes in spanish)) and the physics lab reports take a lot of time. Then my programming class looks fun but we were warned that it needs A LOT of time and a lot of work, I also need to learn C coding. My other class seems like the easiest one, it's pretty much a logic class.
I enjoy high fail classes, simply because it is entertaining to hear people get utterly mad and devastated at trying to wing a pass in the course and end up flying head first into a stone wall. Aside from sadism, it is also interesting to just see how well I placed in a competitive course with other students. I was never too attached to my grades when it came to my undergraduate course work, but I did well enough to keep my scholarships.
