I mostly agree, but I think you might be worrying pre-emptively. From the original poster's description, she might not have to be dealing with "everything all at once". A person with a strong math background will have a much easier time grasping many CS concepts than someone coming from the humanities. After all, at its core CS is a specialized branch of discrete mathematics. Anybody with advanced mathematics should have encountered boolean logic somewhere along the line. That'll make picking up C a whole heck of a lot easier.
