organic chemistry?

I've realized that i have to take organic chemistry in college. Can someone tell me what you actually do in organic chemistry?

1. Study how to synthesize substances with C-H bonds present as well as know why such reactions occur. Goes without saying that you also need to know the naming system as well as the structure classifications of each organic compound you'll encounter Don't worry, it's not that hard ^^
2. wow let me try to answer you with as much details as my memory serves. (: i took organic chemistry about 6 years ago. lol. i remember i loved it though, it's a lot of chemical equations, with the chiral carbons, chemical stuctures of stuff like alcohol, ether, hydrocarbons. the practicals are fun too, i actually made aspirin. :D
