O Chem in the Summer

I know the summer is still a ways away, but I was just curious of anyone has taken Organic Chemistry 1 over the summer, and how was it? I've been looking at doing it during the summer since I'd be able to focus on it more and it would put me on track to graduate a year early. However, from what I've heard, I wouldn't be able to work during the summer. So I'm just curious if anyone has taken it and if it's worth it.

I actually took OChem 1 last summer for a mini-mester. It is a LOT of material in a very short amount of time (about 1 chapter every day or so). I took this class plus an online physics + lab and nearly every waking moment was spent either in class (4 days/week) or taking notes and studying. If you are a quick learner, you could probably do it if thats the only class you're taking.
