Lost?

Lately I have felt so lost in school, chemistry in particular. I go to classes, recitation and study groups, and study for endless numbers of hours. With all that time and effort and the will to learn the material, it still is not clicking in my head. This is very frustrating for me, as I am used to doing well at any subject as long as I put a little effort into it.
Personal matters aren't helping anything at all, but I won't go into all that here. It just feels like if you loose your footing just for a spilt second you end up falling much further. One problem builds on another until the light at the end of the tunnel is just a small glimmer.
A theory of mine, that I like and keeps me going is that you can only fall so far before things can't help but get better.
Friends help pull you through, and for them I am thankful.
Wow, this is kind of a rambling blog. I hope that's OK. I really don't know what a blog is for, and i don't have anything mind bending that needs to be analyzed. This is me writing and I hope that is worth something.
