I'm in the same boat as you, what can I say... but make sure you go through all the previous exam questions.

@ms92: A bit too late for that... :( I'm trying, though!

@SciMania: Yeah...I should...but then, what if...what if! But that did make me feel better.

@cjdzl: Or is it indeed...

EDIT: Honestly, the problem is I'm just trying to get reassurances when I deserve none, because this term was a disaster studying-wise for me... *sigh* Ah, well, at least it'll be over tomorrow.

Hey! Just wanted to let you guys know that,

After writing two organic chemistry exams, you can't even compare the 1AA3 exam to either of those.

...

1AA3 was way harder.

You really scared me there for a moment, since I probably have to take Orgo Chem next year! Whew...I need a moment to get over that...

But I'm glad it's easier... (?)

Ugh, hopefully the orgo questions aren't too bad. :\ I literally spent like 5 or 6 hours (which is a lot for me >.>) over the past couple of days studying just chapters 26 and 27.

But yeah, I'm in the same boat as well.

I'm more worried about the acid-base ones...even though there are like only five in the whole paper! Hopefully orgo won't be too bad...I hope! I memorized the whole Synthesis chart (duh), so I'm confident for those basic types of questions...it's just those SN1/SN2 ones and the nucleophiles/electrophiles ones I'm worried about...I hope the exam isn't too bad.

1A03 final was a killer! :(

WOW, HOW THE HECK DID YOU GET THAT?!



EDIT: The nerd in me - should I click it in case it /is/ real? I wouldn't want to see the questions...

EDIT2: At the risk of sounding (severely) ignorant and ruining the joke...how did you change the url code? That's awesome.

I'm sort of excited too. I won't call this being nervous or anxious, merely jittery. Anticipation? Mayhaps.

Ho-hum.

*facepalm*

So simple, yet SO ingenious...at least to non-tech folk like me. Thanks! (And also...intriguing...)

EDIT: Not that you have to be too tech-savvy for this.
