Jeesh...why can't people just answer a guys question?!?!?

For the record, I too made the jump from CorelDraw to Illustrator. I understand that one program gives you a pretty good handle on the other, there are just some interface issues that you have to work through. I COMPLETELY agree that taking some time to do some of the tutorials will do you a world of good, but that doesn't excuse people from the basic kindness of answering your question instead of lecturing you about tutorials.

In Illustrator draw your line with the pen tool. Now use the pen tool to add an extra anchor point in the middle of your line (just click on the line...or you take a lot more time and change your pen to the "add anchor point" tool). Now use your direct selection tool (white arrow) to select the anchor point you just made. Now you will see new menu items up above (directly below the main menu bar). One of the first is labeled "convert" and you will see the little icons for changing a line to a curve or a curve to a line. Over just a little bit you will also see a section for "Anchors" which allows you to cut a path at a certain point and to join two points together. These tools should allow you to draw exactly what you want.

Side note: If you know you want curves from the get go you can still use the pen tool, but instead of a simple click to add an anchor point click and drag to create your bezier (curve) handles. Play with it once or twice and you will totally get the hang of it.

That, by the way, is known as answering someones question.
