Leaving an internship early

I'm an economics major expecting to graduate in December. In order to make that happen I am taking four summer courses (2 classes each 5 week session). I am also working my first full time job/internship as a financial analyst. I started the job this week and am already miserable with the industry/work required for this position. I'm horribly pessimistic about being able to manage my class load and still graduate on time while working this job and don't see any benefit in staying rather than professional courtesy and self respect. Is leaving the internship early a bad idea? I am not so worried about finding future work if I cannot use this on my resume.
