yeah, knowing how to draw all these things (based off of their name) will save your butt in chemistry... especially O-chem.
and yes, it is fun

lol i had some good chemistry teachers and then some BAD chemistry teachers....... they make or break the subject
i had a fun program too on my PC when i was in chem but that's on a different PC that i don't have anymore and i cant even remember the product name to pass along to you 
you could type in any chemical compound and it showed you a 3D model of the compound (reactive sites and all) and all it's isoforms and all of their chemical properties.
but i am done with my chemistry education and have begun the supression of it all.... outside of it's application to my work...which isn't very much. lol

Oh wow! This takes me back to my favorite part of high school chemistry class. I think all of my obsessions come from early childhood when I found I loved how things connect together. I drew sound and video system diagrams when I was 6. They were completely inaccurate but I loved em. I love how different atoms fit in different ways with each other.
I also LOVE plugging and unplugging things. My favorite connector to do this with is the Neutrik Speakon. You plug it in, twist, and a metal latch clicks into place. Ahhhh, so much fun. Every time I walk by the patch bay in the control room and I plug and unplug a few times. Fortunately I'm going into a career that almost entirely involves knowing how a system is connected together and actually connecting it up.

I used to be obsessed with inventing and drawing organic chemicals too. I think my chemistry teacher thought I was a freak. My advice is try not to let it distract you from the actual course too much: the sad truth is, no one else really cares about stuff like this.
