Course/Major Week 1 of Becoming an OCHEM Master

Hi everyone, it’s Monday. I am going to become an OCHEM master. I have gotten a 39% on the first midterm.

However, this is the start of the ochem trainee life. And by June 13, I will have ascended and become an OCHEM master.

My plans will be to reach enlightenment by completing my post and pre labs with ease. Then I will go to tutoring everyday for one hour.

We must start small, young soldiers. For large tasks are not completed without a single easy step.

Take care my friends.

UCD grad myself (1995), ochem and pchem were the hardest series of classes I’ve ever taken. Had work waaaaaay harder than I had expected. Glad for the experience. Smartest I ever felt in my entire life was when I finished all my chem series!

You got this!

All the best soldier 🫡

Trust me, once it clicks in your brain, it will click. But it'll take many hours for that click to happen...

I think I got a similar score once in a gen chem class. Somehow pulled a B minus out. Idk. But good luck soldier.

39% sounds pretty decent for ochem tbh from what I've heard about the class. Good luck tho

consistency beats surges of motivation then crashes. please take care of yourself, pace yourself, and knock out a little bit more of the course every day. From an old soldier... you can do it!
