Organic Chemistry

Today in class my organic chemistry professor asked how many of us read the textbook along with attending the lecture.  He then proceeded to make sure that we all knew that our O Chem book was so exciting to read, like a novel.  He described it as NOT one of those textbooks that you fall asleep in.  

If only. 

I have spent the last two nights doing O Chem and I still do not feel prepared for my exam tomorrow.  However, I have been at the library all night and have learned several things.

1.  I failed the take home quiz I turned in today.  Okay maybe not completely.  The things I did I did correctly, I just didn't do enough of them.

2.  There is a good reason I am a SOCIAL Sciences major.  I love science. But my head is not geared for it.  It doesn't come naturally.  I have to force it rather than just having pieces fall into place.

3.  I love the library.  I never thought I would say that.  But really I do.  I can get so much done here!

4.   I love people.  That is part of why I did so well tonight.  I have been with Eva and Lyss and Jeff. And it makes me happy which makes me study better.

5.  Naming compounds is not easy. 

6.  Reactions make sense.

7.  I can balance equations still.  (Thank you AP Chem)

8.  I can't wait for tomorrow morning to be OVER.
