Carry the baggage of

Hi,

"I can't afford to fail another course. I already carry the baggage of financial mathematics/baggage that comes with retaking financial mathematics with me."

I know that when 'baggage' is used in a figurative sense, it usually means emotional baggage, but I've been thinking and I'd like to ask you if it could also work in the above-given example.

If not, does anything similar spring to mind?

Thank you.

No, that doesn't work. Do you mean that you need to retake financial mathematics in the future, or that you've already had to retake it?
