Wasting time to prevent exploding head

I've reached a point in my macroeconomics class where I am not very happy with my understanding of the current topic. Chapter 27 covers Aggregate Supply and Aggregate Demand and the interactions between the two. I read the whole chapter and am now trying to answer the required questions. I understand the concepts, but there is just so much information presented in this chapter that I am having a hard time remembering all the different causes and effects. And I think that understanding this chapter is very important and that the next few weeks will build on what is in this section. I hope that the instructor is able to go over and simplify (at least a little) these things. I'm still enjoying this class, much more than micro, but it's certainly not any easier. I'm just kind of wasting time with this post, but I needed a little break. I still have 6 more questions to answer, which could take several more pages and maybe a couple of hours. I wanted to write at least one more article review this week, but I might not have time. I spent a lot of time over the weekend studying for the first exam we had on Monday. I should have used my time a little differently. Oh well. I don't think that I'm in a different place than most of my classmates. And I think I got at least a "B" on the test. At least I hope so.

And for some reason I'm not remembering a lot of the math that I already learned two terms ago. I thought that retaking this math class would be much easier than it seems to be. Everyone else seems to like the teaching style of the instructor. I don't necessarily dislike it, but nothing seems to be sinking in for me. I need to start doing something different, but I'm not quite sure what that is. Maybe I need to do extra homework problems. It really frustrating that I can't remember stuff from only two terms ago. And I still have at least three more math classes ahead of me.

I wish I had a USB socket in my head and could just download all of this stuff. But then everyone would be doing it. I seem to be having some motivational issues this term and I also seem to get distracted way too easily also. I'm not sure what happened. I hope it passes soon. At least my environmental science class isn't too hard, but is more work than I thought it was going to be.

At least three more years to go. And it certainly won't get any easier.
