Well… I’m a third of the way through my second semester at university.

For some dumbass reason, I decided to take 14 credits, including Spanish 2 and Chemistry 101. I thought that Chemistry 101 would be relatively easy, because my peers assured me that most of Chemistry 101 consisted of high school chemistry, and I “passed” the Chemistry entrance exam with a 57% (despite not knowing a damn thing about Chemistry) 

Well… either they were wrong, or I didn’t learn shit in high school chemistry. Because I’m getting my ass handed to me. 

Personally, I’m willing to bet that I didn’t learn shit in high school Chemistry. I have a decent grade in chemistry, so far, only because the bulk of my grades are based on group projects. My individual grades make up a small portion of my overall Chemistry grades- if you don’t include the exams, the first of which is coming up fast. 

My individual grades are… less than awesome. The highest quiz score I’ve gotten on chemistry material was a 90%. After module 1, however, my quiz grades have nose-dived. Today, I got a 30% on my latest quiz. 

Ouch. 

So… what’s going wrong? What am I not doing that I should be doing? What holes in my knowledge of Chemistry do I need to fill? 

To be honest, I don’t really know.
