Take the challenge, step up your game. Since you already know what difficult courses you have, why not work on them beforehand by studying for them or becoming the as best a programmer you can BE in the courses you are taking now.

I had a very basic programming course. Then an algorithms course. Then an Assembly course, then compilers, then OS. All were in different languages and there was very knowledge transfer. I don't think the number of courses matter as much as how well you understand the ones you have.

OS was my second best undergrad course, right after compilers.
