There's not much else I'd drop a class for. If it was a class I enjoyed or that I felt I was doing well in, I would have a tougher time deciding, but the class sucks and I'm really not understanding much of it at all to be honest. I'll probably have to drop it after I bomb the midterm. I'm pretty much a straight A student too, so this is a bit of a strange situation to be in.
As for it being a family event, it will not I'm afraid as my mom passed away a little longer than 1 year ago, which is the main reason I really want to go. I love Neil, and it would be a very emotional experience. In a good way.
I owe you reps, I have to spread some around first.
