Today I learned I can't learn...Ignore the Paradox...

Went round friends to try and get some more Java programming done. I understood what was being said to me when he was explaining it then as soon as he stopped I was like "......So how does it work?". It's rather annoying trying to remember something important that will effect your life when I can so easily remember random and useless facts. I would love some magic drug to make me understand or to be able to download the knowledge into my brain, but for now restless nights seem the only option.
