Wait another day before you start freaking out...soreness doesn't usually set in for me until the second day after a workout (if at all). I'm also going to just echo one more time that soreness is not a good indicator of the effectiveness of your workout, nor is the "burn" you (may or may not) get during workout. Getting stronger, faster, bigger, etc. is your indicator.

You're on a good track by dividing your workouts into general motions, but "curl" should not be one of those motions! You most definitely don't need a "curl day". For that style of training, most people agree you should split your work into Push/Press, Pull, and Squat. Curls can be done on the Pull day, but you'd be wise to only do them after you've done some other things like maybe deads, rows, pullups, etc. Gotta have your priorities in the right place.
