Chemistry, eh, it has its moments, just not all that many of em. Physics, at some point ends up explaining chemistry, if anyone has ever told you "math is poetry" it makes sense taking an advanced physics course, and no other time. (and only if you understand the material)
I can tolerate physics cause your actually doing something with the math, chemistry is the same way, but Ive only taken low enough level courses to get only the very basics, so its kinda like bio, memorize and use.

I find calc easier, just formulae, no application that takes tons and tons of practice. Chem requires you to know the formulas and know what to do with them....

I'm expecting a 4 on the AP test. Chemistry was easily the hardest subject for me to understand in high school, and I assure you I am an absolute math genius (800 SAT's, without even being Asian!). I find Calculus/Algebra/Geometry 30 times easier than Chemistry. Then again, I find Chem to be incredibly interesting, which is why I took the AP course. We had a few weeks where we just did demonstrations out of all these teacher's guides, some of them are absolutely INCREDIBLE.

Qft. :-)
I guarantee calculus is much less fun.
My biggest problem is my professor's obsession with giving us crap dealing with the unit circle. Memorizing odd angles is not fun.
I'd SO much rather memorize properties of elements, solubility of compounds, etc, rather than a bunch of random derivations and equations.
I can tolerate physics cause your actually doing something with the math, chemistry is the same way, but Ive only taken low enough level courses to get only the very basics, so its kinda like bio, memorize and use.
