Good luck with downtime, I had little to none outside of what I used to go to the gym and work.
Organic chem II + lab
For me organic II was the hardest out of those you listed(looking back at it now I wonder why... I took this very early on in my educational career). This was primarily because it took me the first half of the course just to learn how to properly study for it. Once I figured that out it became a breeze.
Physics II + lab
Physics II is a joke if you're at all good at math. Is yours algebra or calculus based? Either way if you ever need any help shoot me a PM (this goes for all of these courses).
Biochemistry
As far as biochemistry, if you're good at Orgo II you'll be fine at biochemistry. I ended up liking biochemistry much more than orgo II.
Genetics
Super interesting class for myself, my friends however told me they were bored out of their minds. I guess it just depends on what interests you. This class is probably the most amount of "brute memorization" as opposed to learning "how" to do processes (such as orgo II) which is why I excelled; a mixture of iimmunology / pharmacotherapy if you've taken either of those.
Embryology + lab
As far as embryology I haven't had a specific course on that (the others I have, however) so I can't speak on that.
Let me know if you have any other questions, good luck buddy!
Eh, I can say as far as the biology classes go, biochem/embryology/genetics, I'm completely unworried about those. My memory is pretty good (trying to be modest there) so it doesn't require much for raw memorization classes. Plus, I've studied biochemistry and genetics in some detail on my own, so I think those won't be bad.
Heh, funnily enough, for me currently, physics I is harder than any class I've ever had
even compared to every upper level bio class I've had. Honestly I've realized most of the reason why it's difficult is simply the professor. She's the most pedantic individual I've ever seen, but it's completely unecessary. My first 2 homework assignments I made a 50% on them.. yet all my answers were right and I showed my work. She just didn't like the way I set up my problems. If you don't set up a problem AND perform it in the exact fashion she wants it, you get more taken off than if the answer is wrong. It's fucked. Never had such a moronic and controlling professor before.
As for ochem, I'm only in first semester ochem so it's pretty simple stuff, but the first exam I made a 99.5% w/ 45 mins of studying. The class is really clicking with ease for me so far.
