What are the biggest/most obvious differences?

Also, after taking chem, which sub-chem shall I go into?

I hear organic chems really sick with reactions and shit.

Chem is general chemistry whereas I would imagine organic chem deals allot with carbon. That just my guess, I haven't studied much chemistry.

carbon in unbelievable detail. in carbon, there are 4 bonding areas. the combinations are endless, and then, there are all the things you can bond to them, and the substrates and intermediates. it involves a ton of memorization. a shit ton.

odd tidbit. i took it. my class started with 100 students, and ended with 15. the person with the highest grade (b+) was on his 3rd attempt. the rest of us were happy with cs and ds
