Lol, make everything appear like a competition. Which of course is what VCe is.

It's a bit of a catch-22. You'll like it if you're awesome at it, but it's hard to become awesome at it unless you like it.

Get one of the VCE chem textbooks that appeal to you. I think alot of how much you enjoy reading a subject can really come down to the aesthetic look of the text you're learning from. It's a bit similar to having an attractive teacher to a subject, but erm, in this case its a book =.=

^looking back, that looks like TERRIBLE advice, but it's the best I've got for you haha.

Get A+ Notes for chem, they're good :P

Just make yourself feel motivated to do well. Doing this you will likely feel more happy about doing the work since if you do well and work smart you will get the reward of getting a good study score.
Just don't overdo it if you dislike it since you will likely lose a lot of interest quickly.
Good luck :).
