I hate Chemistry with an absolute passion :p:

But yeah, knowing how stomata will close is useless... in fact, most things we do in bio and chem are useless when I think about it :frown:

You're like the opp of me! Last year I loved Chem and hated Bio, this year I love Bio but hate Chem :p:

no hating the chemistry. :colonhash:

true say, except the anatomy but thats like simplified too.
Isn't bio harder this year though? :confused:

Last year, I hated bio, chem and phyiscs :mmm:

This year, I LOVE chem and bio but still hate physics. :laugh:

Well I'm fascinated by specific topics in chemistry :p:

So far, I think the most interesting (but briefly covered :sad:

) was optical isomers :coma:

Yeah, that's one of the better chemistry topics. But i haaaate physical chem and organic is just a memory test. Chemistry just doesn't "click" with me :p:

Yep! And hard :frown:

Esp acids and bases. Luckily apparently there's not much chem content in a med degree :biggrin:

I think apart from rates and acid/base, I enjoy everything :p:

I know right, I dunno how I'd cope with a med degree even if I got into one, I can barely manage with A Levels. :rofl:

Zommmg, how many exams are you gonna have? :rofl:

I know, thats what I am so scared of, the volume is intense! Well, simalr to u guys, only biochem, cells and physio, DNA help. I have 15 in total in May. :redface:

Yeah, although rates/equilibria > acids and bases.

So basically you're an organic fan? :awesome:

Good, glad I wouldn't be alone in the world of disliking chem if i got in. :p:

But you'll probably get some chemistry at Ox?

Yeah, volume looks intense. No wonder medics have a reputation for binge drinking :rofl:

15!

Wow. I'm only going to have max 7 in the whole year, and that's if I have to resit the modules I'm sitting in Jan. Bon courage! :hugs:

I'm not sure :mmm:

I did scan through the first year syllabus (though it was like 65 pages long soo....) and it didn't seem too bad in actual content, just in length :tongue:

and it all looked so interesting, so excited :awesome:
