Chemistry AHHH! >_<

[Mariposa36]

I need all the prayers I can possibly get.

Why? Chemistry is about to blow my brains out. Haha!

This class is like the chemistry class from down under. We have to take a separate online course and achieve a certain score just to show we're cutout to take it. The tests for the actual course are several hours long, worth huge chunks of our grade, and all written response (no multiple choice.) At the end of the semester, the instructor usually has to double curve grades otherwise the vast majority of the class would fail. Around 20% drop out before the end of the semester and people even switch majors because of this class.

I'm working ahead and pouring every ounce of energy into this course (as in several hours a day.) It's terribly depressing because I just want to go outside and enjoy the nice weather (I'm not looking forward to the cold, so I'm trying to soak up every bit of summer.) In a few days, my life will be pretty much consumed with my other classes and work. It's just going to be a rough semester. After this upcoming semester, I only have two more (I'm graduating early) and the last two will be all downhill. THANK THE LORD! <3

Until then, SWEET BABY JESUS, HELP ME SURVIVE CHEMISTRY!

Anyone else taking a chemistry course or other really difficult courses this semester?

Two months later... did it?

I took chemistry and spent 3-5 times more on the course than my other courses. It changed where my career plans were heading. Interesting stuff but oh my, there's so little familiarity to grab onto.
