Organic and inorganic chemistry are almost two separate subjects. I also took organic freshman year in college with a professor who I think probably ended up in the running for a Nobel Prize. I'm not sure he was particularly bad but it was a large lecture class, I hated organic and it was one of the first subjects I ever didn't really grok at some level, and actually somewhat changed majors because of it.

Inorganic on the other hand. I ended up getting a grad degree in Material Science which is closely related to aspects of solid state chemistry--so, yes, I liked aspects of chemistry. Just not organic.
