I am going to be taking Organic Chemistry 2 for the 5th time this summer. (Lord.) I took Organic Chemistry 1 THREE times before I finally passed with a C. I HATE chemistry to say the least. I don't get it at all but to be fair, if I spent more time with the material than I currently do, I might manage to absorb something. It's gotten to the point where I considered having short-term memory loss.
That said, I think a big factor with this is my confidence level. After having struggled so much with this course in the past, I automatically go into it thinking I can't learn it and I feel like it's mentally blocking me from learning. In the past, I was stubborn and refused to be weeded out by this course. But now, I'm starting to feel exhausted. Seeing my friends about to graduate medical school and I haven't even started. (I know comparing yourself is a dangerous game). At this point, I don't even know if it's worth taking and just saying goodbye to medical school.
I love medicine, the diseases, the idea of treating people and them getting better. I've been working for **** pay at a doctor's office learning all I can and I'm pretty good at it BECAUSE I love it. But I really feel like I've been weeded out.
What do you all think? Am I delusional? Do I still have a shot if I somehow manage to pass this class this time around and go into a post-BACC and somehow pass those too? And also get a decent MCAT score. (I haven't taken it because of Orgo and the trauma it's given me >-<)
