I'm a 20 years old student in the first year course to get a bachelor degree on physics.
My question is: is it ok for a person like me, frequently getting into trouble when studying some advanced topics on Quantum Mechanics or General Relativity?
In my course, we are learning about basic physics. But while my class collegues are learning basic introductory Math and general physics, I want to study advanced topics, like, geometry of black holes, quantum field theory, because I think it is much more interesting, fascinating and funny. I go to the university library and start reading the books I see there. And in most cases I fine understand the concepts and the Math, but sometimes I feel like I'm a retard because I simply don't understand things.
And I cannt study only those subjects, because I must spend some time studying calculus, linear algebra, etc, to get good results on my exames.
(I'm sorry for my bad English.)
