I remember all that, it was like that for me every night sad to say, i studied and studied, we could record lectures in class on a microcassett, so i would record lectures and listen to them on the way to and from school, I would also record me reading the notes and do the same for them, I woud also sing the notes b/c for me i can learn a song fast so i thought why not learn notes this way and it worked, but sorry to say that was an everynight thing when i was in nursing school except we had about 3o pages of notes, no joke, and had to remember them all in one night for test the next day, you will learn a routine for you. Good Luck!
