Its ridiculous how much different different teachers can effect the difficulty of a class. For ASU there are 4 different campuses. I go to Main campus for 90% of my classes but I kinda live by east campus as well and they had O chem there just because of the teacher I went there for that class. The teacher is super lenient with points to the point where on the questions if you just drew a benzene ring he would give you half points most of the time. On top of that an 82.5% was an A-.

The hardest class I've taken probably 1)Endocrinology and 2) Neurobiology
 
Graduated from the U with a degree in German Studies last May. Started working at L-3 Communications in October. IMO it's a great place to work and I'm making way more than most of my graduated peers. Highly recommend trying to get a job with L-3 if at all possible. 4 day workweeks, great benefits, competitive pay, never boring.

Wow I would have aced o-chem if i was in your class. We had 3 hour test in the testing center. The thing I liked about O-chem was when we had to do reactions i would try to do as many steps possible instead of the ease one or two steps. Eventually my professor started putting on the test "what is the most efficint way to do this reaction".

Dishwasher/Busboy Local Restaurant (16). Held job for 3 months, walked out at rush hour because I hated my boss and all the coworkers so I wanted to piss them off. Plus I was the only washer on duty that day because everyone else was off for vacation/sick days.

Dishwasher/Busboy Local Restaurant (17). Held job for 2 months, walked out at rush hour because I hated my boss/most of my coworkers. Once again I was the only washer on duty because sick days/vacation. The dishwasher had been broken for a week, it would flood periodically and I had to plunge it till it unflooded. Would get me wet as hell. Manager never got anyone in too fix it. They had just opened up a bar, and they had the opening night of the bar, and the machine was only capable of handling a small amount of dishes. It got so backed up the cooks ran out of clean dishes. I walked out laughing. (Also, I would love to add, the restaurant closed 2 weeks after I quit because it sucked *** and the managers were incompetent).

Started doing lawn work for my neighborhood after that. Made a lot more money than I did dishwashing and it was much easier.

Now I go to school. Now I gamble for income. Currently up 5k in total earnings (yes I keep track).

My dad took early retirement (had a stroke) from O.C. Tanner around the same time you were there. He was a manager of a department, but can't remeber wich one.

That is a great place to work at. Are you in an engineering dept? It seems pretty difficult to get a job there in the business/sales sector without a strong network. I only have a associates and working on a b.s.. I have family that work there, but only only on the assembly line. I could've been a material handler, but that is not where my passion lies. I still would like to work there though. Tips?
