Yeah, I see what you mean, I'm not saying it's been difficult, but ever since stereochemistry started I have a feeling things are going to go downhill.

aww cheer up reaction mechanisms are fun

That's exactly what I was thinking in my head.. But I guess I'll just have to do what I can this term.. and I'll probably end up leaving the second half till summer.. I NEED a chemistry-free term!

Chemistry messes up my CA every time.

hey, i studied like crazy for the exam and still tanked it :S it was weird, while studying i felt like a had a good grasp on the material and the practice midterms weren't bad, and then come exam it was like every question i could think of 5 different reaction mechanisms that could occur. just not made out to be a chemist i guess, haha

That's basically what happened to me in second orgo, spent 4 days studying, felt confident, still tanked it somehow...

For science, the hooker was at a 11.4 last year and at a 11.3 the year before. The $800 one was at 10.6 last year. The dean stays at a 9.5 and is considered a 80% on the dot regardless of the whole 9 being a 77-79 and 10 being a 80-85 crap.
