I remember struggling with it in high school. I have to take 2 semesters of it for my med program this next year as well, not feeling particularly optimistic about it. So I appreciate your questions and look forward to the replies. Any advice is appreciated.
Not having taken it myself, I will hope for the best for you as you go through it. If it's been like some of my chem classes, usually there are tutors if you need them; find one so as not to get behind. In the meantime, continue to enjoy the the sights in class too

, helps lighten things up or even see if they are interested in helping you out, get a group together as I am sure you are not the only one that would benefit. Bonus too. GOOD LUCK!
