I would suggest going to your professor(s) and talking to them. They don't want to fail you, and most decent ones will offer advice/help worth taking. It might not be easy, but that's the point.
My undergrad was anything <C=Fail.
Sorry about the tough times OP, I'm assuming you simply haven't been attending classes?

Not exactly, when i was in grade school (berkeley) a C was failing and if you got a B you were seriously not meant to be in grad school. My lowest grad was an A- and everything else was A.
Also, in grad school there is no "dropping" of classes.
I went into public upon graduating with my degree in accounting. I dont work for a big 4, but I do work for a large regional public firm. It has been almost a year, and I already want to go back into corporate internal accounting.
this is a strange thread, with RV calling himself a douche bag, but at GT a C is not considered to be "failing" in and of itself (at least the catalog doesn't say so), but a GPA below 2.7 for 2 semesters as a master's student will get you kicked out. My first semester I had a 2.67, so I was on scholastic probation. I got another C the following semester, but also had three A's, and then this summer I had a 4.0. So now I'm back up to a 3.4, which doesn't cause the companies to complain 
Thus far, none have asked me to bring my transcript to even a second round interview..
BTW, those classes I earned the C's in, I put the most effort towards those classes in their respective semesters -- it wasn't like I didn't go to class or something. I also did all the homework assignments as well (those classes lacked projects, just hw/exams). A combination of not understand the concepts/lacked the prerequisities/screwed up the exams.

At one time i wanted to become a teacher. Went to university and took a year of courses and hated every minute of it.
I finally gave up and said "screw this ****" when i went from a 29% mark in french (Despite being canadian, i hate learning french but will do it someday) to a 9% on the second try.
I then went into welding and loved every second of it. Because i had a love for what i was learning, i just took everythingin, no staring at a book for hours to memorize useless information you'll never need, and when we took what we learned to the welding shop and applied it, it only got better.
I now travel the country (canada) going from job to job to complete my apprenticeship and seeing a great deal of the second largest country in the world as i go, though i've been stuck in one spot for a good while now (long story). Not every career is for everyone, you should seriously take a look at what you will be doing for most of your professional career and ask "will I be happy doing this".

Don't waste energy on self hate, that's the dark side and nonproductive. You are what you are and you are not what you are not, hatred is irrelevant. Also, don't call yourself a douche or other names, that's called negative self talk and it's counterproductive.
If you do fail out of grad school, realize that you are not the first nor the last person to do so. You just need to learn from the experience what your weaknesses are. It would be prudent to try to find another career path that focuses more on your strengths rather than your weaknesses.
If it is not too late to pass, you may yet prevail on your current academic course if you focus your time and energy on studying. Feelings of failure are typical amongst graduate students. You might benefit from speaking to your advisor. If you can gain access to test banks of the professors past tests, this can be a tremendous help in understanding his question design patterns.
