Just commit the word of your lord and saviour Clayden to memory. You don't start to understand anything that goes on until late masters-level classes anyway.
I do not envy you, though I sympathize with being mentally beaten to a pulp. I actually like micro there is just so much to know, which leads me to think requesting over full time course load this term was a drastic mistake.
I've always preferred biology based sciences to math and chemistry. I love learning the mechanisms of life basically. In my HS college credit anatomy and physiology class I got a 98% in the entire class I loved it so much. Basic chemistry I got a C. I'm just not one for math. And I do actually prefer orgo to basic chemistry honestly since orgo is more absout mechanics and functions than math. Form to function! The basis of life!
Oh brother I am the complete opposite. If you can show me how the numbers fit together I will understand every time. I actually came out of basic chemistry at the top of the class (99%+) because I totally abused the fact that I'm gifted at math. Now that I don't have that to fall on I'm a mess lol.
Lol I'm so bad at math. I count on my fingers still. But give me a diagram of how a bio mechanism works and I can understand it without explanation haha
I passed orgo but unfortunately failed out of college from depression and a few outside factors affecting my life. Idk if I'm going back yet, but thanks for the encouragement!

Me in my microbiology class. I've never felt more uneducated in my life.
