I'm having a hard time with this one and could use a little help/encouragement. I might just be suffering from a bit of burn out at this point because I'm losing motivation too.

Hi Brian,
You may have already seen this, but here's the link to some videos for U.S. History.Resource: A Biography of America
Sometimes the IC flashcards for history don't follow a linear order, so I found that watching the videos (or reading Wikipedia) helped me grasp the "big picture", and made it easier for me to absorb the info on the flashcards.
It's totally normal to feel some burnout, especially working as hard as you have. You went from 0 to 63 credits in about six months. That breaks down to about 3 credits per week! That's amazing! So don't let a little U.S. History get you down- it's got nothing on you.
