I made my decision about majors: I'm doing a BS in biology and a BA in chemistry, with possibly an add-on major in Environmental Studies. Yes, I AM nuts. Well, it's not quite so bad: I have an extra semester of physical chem plus lab, a semester of quant. analysis, and another semester of o-chem lab. In addition, I have whatever electives I need to take. But since I'm doing a BA and a BS, I get out of 6 credit hours for the BA. Now, the question is, do I want ACS certification? If I do, I need to take a semester of biochem, a semester of inorganic chem, and five hours of research. Given my combination, the biochem might be a good idea. The research...we'll see if I can wrangle something that fulfills that and my research requirement for bio.
I actually scraped an A in chem this semester!!! When I went to pick up my final, my professor handed it back to me and said "Congratulations! Well done!" I looked at it, and discovered I got EXACTLY the number of points I needed for an A. Ended up with an A in anthropology, and a B in my seminar and chem lab. Not surprised. Next semester, I'm taking:
- Introduction to Organic Chemistry I
- Cells and Proteins
- Shakespeare: Histories and Tragedies
- Organic Chemistry Lab
- Calculus II
- Fencing.
I do actually knit, in case we'd forgotten. I'll get some pictures of the WIPs up tomorrow. (And maybe an FO or two...hmm....)

Hey, I got a BS in Bio and a BA in chem! I would say go for the ACS certification. It looks good on a job resume. Or if you go to grad school, you'll be a bit ahead. It's worth it. Plus you learn an ungodly amount by doing research--way more than you do in any class. :)
Congrats on your A in chem!
P.S. I took first sem physics in summer school too. While not fun, it is doable.
