Subject: caffeinated theology classes

It's just hard for me to weave between two theology classes. I start traveling among the concepts, ideas and histories when I even cannot articulate what exactly they are. Psychology is a subject which can be divided into different sub-topics without much interrelationship going on. Theology is like a spider web. Each point is related to another point. When i read a book on spirituality, the topic hit on lamentation in OT class, christology in NT class and etc. When i read for healing and reconciliation (systematic theology), it relates to the same topic but from the perspective of spirituality.

Right now, I can tell what is going on in my brain. First, the new concept/idea formulates through the activity of neurons. They activate the neurons for the old concept/idea. They try to assimilate, integrate and modify in order to form a new connection for the existence of both new and old concepts/ideas. The critical point is, too many news are getting in and too many olds are activated within short period of time. This is the problem of digestion. Seriously, i cannot read or listen to a class before going to bed. The situation is the same as I couldn't study accounting or maths before I went to bed when I was in high school. All these subjects function like caffeine which stimulates my brain activities.
