Not Built To Study?

I can't help but think i'm in over my head with one of my modules for the semester. For the past 2 tutorials, i've been so lost, and i think the lecturer can see the confusion in my eyes. I bet he's thinking what this guy is doing in this class, he doesn't seem to be understanding anything.

The first part of this module seemed difficult at first, but when i sat down to work on the assignments, everything seemed to fall into place quite easily. But now, even after the lecturer has gone over how we should write the essay and what should go into it, i still have no inkling on what is going on. I have a ton of notes but they're not speaking to me. The myriad of concepts, functions and theories are just not sinking in. It's like they're bouncing and vibrating all over the place and refusing to let me grasp them.

I swear this is so taxing and tiring that yesterday, as i walked home from the MRT, i couldn't walk straight. I was THAT tired. I reached home at midnight, showered, pulled out my notes and tried to scribble down as many thoughts as i could while waiting for my hair to dry. I slept at 1am.

And i overslept, couldn't make it in time for this morning's Leopard Tank shoot. Terrible terrible terrible.

I can't help but feel that this is a repeat of my Poly days, where the first semester ran without a hitch, but everything went downhill from the second semester onwards.
