English Language Learners Asked on December 14, 2021

Hello to all community members.
I am preparing for the IELTS listening and rehearsing the cambridge books IELTS listening tests. I marked one question wrong and when i checked the typescript and checked the correct answer but I’m unable to understand the meaning of the sentence which shows the clue for the correct option. The sentence is

I also joined the debating society, It’s fun, but with all rehearsing
I’m doing, Something has to go, I’m afraid that’s the one.

So here I didn’t get the correct meaning of this sentence and particularly the last of the sentence.
Any help would be appreciated to grasp the meaning of this sentence.
