Board 8 > night before my first organic chemistry test

(+) Yeah! (+)

I just realized how little I know of all this s***

wtf

I can see why it's one of the courses people have to retake the most

ah yes, organic chem. also known as 'that class where you'll be left with 20% of those who enrolled.'

good luck.

HOCO(CH2)3CH(OH)CH=CHCH(CH3)2

that hurts my brain just looking at it even though it's one of the easier ones

keep track of those carbons

central atoms whoo

at least I kinda got the naming stuff down... except for the f***ing weird cases where cycloalkanes like join in two carbons, or cross over at one carbon, or whatever where you have to do like the [2,2] stuff

ah well time to go to the angles crap since I'm really bad at that

orgo1 or 2? im taking 2 right now, and it's pretty awful.

NMR stuff is the work of the devil.

Ugh I'm doing NMR in my physics lab at the moment
Actually it's not a particularly terrible experiment, but I hate labs in general.

one, though I'll have to take two as well!

why am I a chemistry (ACS) major, this sucks

I teach orgo as part of my job now.

I still don't get it completely.

if you think bicyclo stuff is annoying now, just wait until diels-alder reactions.

I kinda just said "screw it" and just focused on everything else. barely passed...but, whatever, orgo sucks any way you slice it. :(

Highly suggest memorizing the reactions, and trying to piece together synthesis through that. My class is pretty awful since every quiz/test is 60% reactions, and 35~40% synthesis reactions with all steps needed to include it. I'm probably...not being too helpful, since I'm fairly sure you arent at the Sn/E reaction chapter. But yeah good luck and stuff!

I read this as orgasmic chemistry...which would be a much more fun class, IMHO.

exothermic reactions all night long oh yes

unfortunately, organic chem has already dulled me to dirty puns with its stupidity

my professor mentioned radical cleavage/homolytic cleavage (which he just shortened to 'homo cleavage') and I didn't even crack a grin

augh

Well if you get through orgo, at least your remaining chem classes will probably be decently curved!

Just wait for backside attack

Well that wasn't as horrible as I thought it'd be! I forgot to study for 'CIRCLE AND NAME DEM FUNCTIONAL GROUPS' so I blanked on that and I'm 95% sure I didn't get the resonance forms part right, but that was just about 20% of the overall grade. If I somehow make above an F on this test, I will cry in happiness.

man I f***ing love chemistry labs when they don't suck

I am a god damn modern day alchemist

distilling lab wasn't nearly as bad as TLC/column chromatography lab, and apparently next week is almost the exact same thing except we'll be using two volatile organic fluids instead of one

I skipped all the lectures and just did the online homework and showed up for tests and passed just fine :D

Last semester, Chemistry 101 was the class I got the lowest grade for..

Oh, I am one yet many.

this was college, they were all multiple choice and yes

I wish I was able to take this class, my math grades were just so terrible though I wasn't even allowed.

The girl who taught this class was stupidly hot, and she was like, 25.

Oh and organic chemistry is very interesting too!

I don't think orgo's a class you take because the teacher is hot

No, but it's a good incentive to do so!

Retaking an orgo class right now.

So far two tests and two As.
Really not that bad if you do the work.

Oh, you're not even at the orgo-part of orgo. Have you learned any reactions/mechanisms yet?

I always liked orgo since it's more like math in that each problem is a puzzle and you don't necessarily have a standard approach for each one. Much better than PChem or Gen Chem where it's just finding the right formula.
