I got it. I finally got it. Last week's tutorial somehow made it all come together. All of these laws I was fretting over suddenly made sense, and there was no memorization necessary. It was like my brain was downloading information very slowly over the course of the first month, and then finally it hit 100%. The TA was explaining the laws of distribution and how to negate an implication, and it finally just all came together for me. Just in time too, because this week was our midterm. I felt the midterm went very well actually, much to my relief. After the test, we continued to dive into proofs even further. Instead of the basic P => Q examples, we used more specific examples of equivalency. The structure of the proof was a bit confusing because I didn't understand how the professor knew what to do for each step. I decided not to worry too much about not understanding, because I'm sure there will be lots of time to learn what to do. For now, I will look at how to structure proofs in general instead of worrying about individual examples just yet.
So far it's still very exciting and interesting. I like the creativity required to move forward in a proof, and am looking forward learning more. Speaking of which, I really ought to read the course notes, because I'm sure there is lots there that will be helpful.
