10/06/2002 Entry: "death of organic" In 8 hours I take what will probably be the hardest test I have ever taken. If I do well, I will finally pass organic chemistry and end two and a half years of organic torture. It should have only taken me one year. This is my third attempt to pass this class in particular, the first attempt failing due to crappy study habits, and the second attempt being dropped because of the issues I was dealing with last semester that made it impossible (and unwise) to spend time studying. The last two times I never even made it to the final. Now... now I face down a test that is the culmination of the worst academic experience of my life. I had never failed a class before this, nor even had below a C on anything. It's a lesson in academic humility, I suppose. One feels pretty worthless when they repeatedly can't pass something. On the bright side, I've done well enough so far that if I do mediocre I pass, but if I do well I might actually pull an A. Yay for fixing your GPA!
