organic chemistry

A college class that will make you insane in one of two ways:

1) You do not get the material, try to learn it by memorizing everything, and wind up feeling like you are running while tied to the back of a fast moving pickup truck. Your grades suck and you go crazy trying to improve them. Or you just give up and get depressed.

2) You figure out that organic chemistry must be learned like a language, and start to gain fluency in it. You understand pKa's, what nucleophiles are best, and all the fun stuff you can do with a C=O bond. Worse still, you probably enjoy it, and may even wish to include organic chemistry in your career. Thus, you are crazy.
1) Some innocent premed took organic chemistry just to fill a requirement. She barely survived and doesn't want to talk about it. However, she's now a perfectly normal nurse.

2) A woman I knew was an English major until she took organic chemistry. She liked it and turned renegade, and went to get her PhD in organic. By the time I met her, four years into grad school, she was my ochem lab TA and could play Grace from Avatar without makeup. She now teaches organic chemistry at a community college near you...Beware!

HIPSTER DUDE: (Screaming effeminately at a Trader Joe's crewman ) "Where's the organic quinoa? This is the 21st century, they don't have these problems in Canada man." LOUDSPEAKER : "Organic panic aisle 3, I repeat, Organic panic aisle 3. Prepare for inevitable hissy fit, words of entitlement , and of course, vote for Bernie discourse.
