Okay so you are NOT a failure. I would never even attempt to take extra classes and those classes you name are hard ones! Intermediate Algebra? I took beginners college algebra last semester, was only taking 16 hours and had to drop the class because I was failing it by so much. Trust me most people if they tried to do what you did wouldn't even be able to complete the year. So that definitely says something about you! Plus it shows you are ambitious and care about your education which is great and definitely means you are not a failure! I'm glad you're taking a lighter load next semester and I hope everything works out for you. Hugs
