You might find inorganic is more to your taste. Or you might like analytical chemistry is more fun. There is a lot that you'll see in the next semester that will make the stuff from this one just click better.
Over winter break get your paws on Organic Chemistry as a Second Language and Pushing Electrons and let those help you with the stuff you aren't solid on yet. Then do problems until you are heartily sick of them and you will absolutely ace the ACS exam at the end of Ochem 2.
No. I've been out of school for 11 years. The professor I knew that taught it this way did it using the same book I used. He just handed out bunches and bunches of equation worksheets. I remember I tried to tutor someone in his class, and I had to tell them I was useless.
I searched Amazon and saw this book: http://www.amazon.com/Pushing-Electrons-Daniel-P-Weeks/dp/1133951880
...but I haven't seen it myself.
It's not necessarily harder than general chemistry, it is just a lot different. More about recognizing patterns and making predictions, with almost nothing involving numerical problems. My suggestion is to read and do the problems in the book "Pushing Electrons" (https://www.amazon.com/Pushing-Electrons-Daniel-P-Weeks/dp/1133951880/ref=dp_ob_title_bk) before starting organic chemistry. The basics of organic chemistry are not really covered in UH general chemistry, so this book will help you get into the right mindset for organic chemistry before you start.
