I have my final exam today and I am freaking out. Our professor decided that the last week of class she was going to not be there…so we had to learn one whole chapter ourselves. oh boy. I’ve failed one exam and have gotten high d’s on all the others. this class is lame.

livelovefree is counting the days till Friday!!!
How I did it: I started the Organic sequence about 2 years ago and didn't pass the second quarter of lecture. Last summer I took the 2nd qtr of lecture in 3 wks and the 3rd qtr of lecture and lab in 3 wks. It was intense and insane, but giving it to God helped me stay sane in the midst of it all. Who better to be with you every moment than the one who Created organic chemistry in the first place?! Read how I did it…
lemonflavoredkites is loving this beautiful day!
How I did it: All of my free time was spent reviewing mechanisms, analyzing NMR, IR, and Mass Spec; and carrying out syntheses. I made a giant poster that covered an entire wall and filled it with mechanisms. I also worked all of the practice problems in my textbook, as well as in the ACS guide. It helped to type up my notes from lecture every night too. Read how I did it…

i have like no hope…. i study and study and study and it all seems useless.. i failed like 3 tests in a row (yes.. it’s a pitiful situation) and now i have the final left which is worth 40 percent… i need a miracle to pass :(
I got an A- even. the class was curved to hell though! lol
now for 2nd semester :-/
Orgo was super-hard. But if you study like hell you can certainly pass.
it’s proving to be one of the toughest things I’ve ever had to do! It’s like a foreign language! I’ve failed 2 exams and have one more to take; then the final. I’m supposed to be going to pharm. school this fall but only if I pass this class. I’m very stressed and the thought of not going to pharm. school is depressing me. It’s horrible but I’m considering cheating!
Advanced Organic wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. I did alright. I think… maybe a B???
This is good considering all the drama I had to deal with from the ex at the beginning of this semester, not to mention the illegal license plates and no time to renew them, parents moving off to Nebraska leaving the HUGE responsibility of a house (that I share with my party-throwing 19-year-old-brother), the court case with the ex and the whole apartment issue and removing myself from that lease. Stressful to say the least. And yet, my life finally has less drama… as difficult as things may be.
Medicinal Chemistry though… a capstone class that, on this last exam I needed only to get a 28% to obtain a C and I failed it. I wasn’t the only one… but damn!
I may be in school another year yet if I don’t own that Final Exam!!!
i HATE chemistry. i’m dropping organic chem and taking advanced botany instead. i never have to take another chem class again. yay!
after a year and a half into my college education i changed my major and it was no longer necessary to take this class. so i dropped it. and my life has been so much more enjoyable ever since!
touchingmeltemi finding out what I have been missing all this time.
I think that I can pass with at least of “B” but my aim is to earn the covetted “A.” Then I remind myself that I cannot use Coke as a stress reliever since it does not contain cocaine any more.
