I am attending college, working as a college assistant, and paying my bills. When I recieved a poor grade for orgainic chem they wanted to make me join the army because they claim I was not interested in learning. This behavior has continued after I was kicked out of school due to recieving poor grades because I did not have a good science background when I chose my career path. I had to move back home after the incident. Neither of my parents were ever science majors. They will not let me work another job so that i can move out if I can afford to move out when I need to. The other job is only 3 days per week and allows me to study. If I choose to accept it I will have to move out and temporarily live with my boyfriend and his mother which I would prefer not to do.

I am junior in college and have basically made A’s in every class except for chem. 1 and 2. Chemistry makes me completely miserable, but I need to complete Organic Chem. 1 and 2 with A’s in order to get into med. school. No matter how hard I study, read, or work problems, I can’t ever seem to make an A. The labs are the most monotonous experiences I have ever had and I can’t ever do good in them either. Most other classes I can enjoy and make them fun and interesting but this stuff just completely makes my head hurt and puts me in a horrible mood. Suggestions and answers for making it simpler, more interesting/fun, how to get an “A”, etc. etc. would be appreciated.

I want to apply to med schools, but my mark for organic chem II is very low, retaking it may not bring significant improvement. Since organic chem is prerequisite of biochemistry, and they are very related, should I take biochem and good mark instead of retaking organic chem?
I have to take biochemistry anyway, because it’s required for my biology program, i just can’t see the benefit of retaking orgo.

Next year, I will take organic chemistry. Can anyone recommend any good books to use to study organic chemistry and help me get a basic understanding of it before I take the class?
