is 4 classes too much?

hi friends!

i recently made the decision to go back to school after graduating high school 7 years ago! but bc its been so long im super nervous that im taking on too much quickly. i work part time like 25-30 hours sun-tues and have 2 in person classes on wednesdays (mixed) and 2 online only classes.

im trying to start off with the easiest prereqs i need for the program im interested in. im starting off with:

freshman comp I

mathematical thinking

general psychology

intro to humanities

i really want to do the easiest classes first (math is def the hardest for me out of these) to get used to the new routine. my upcoming classes in the spring + summer semester will be more intense so i dont want to take on as many classes after the fall... but is 4 classes too much or should i drop 1? i live on my own with my partner so ofc i have home responsibilities and my job is exhausting- but its only for 3 days then i have the rest of the week to focus on school but i really dont know what to expect. i fear of getting burnt out quickly. any advice is appreciated :)
