Mutlisyllabic confusion in Thoery II, any suggestions?

I am a student and I just started Theory II. I would like some feedback from anyone who is willing to share. My question is do you recall feeling lost and completely overwhelmed? There seems to be a lot of exceptions to the "rules". When we ask questions about some of the theory the response is "it will become clearer as we go along". Can any of you please tell me it will become clearer as we move along? Should I calm down and go with the flow with hopes that it will register in my head? I have had nothing but good grades and have never dedicated myself to anything like I am doing now. Any suggestions on personal study practices to help me grasp the concept on when to drop vowels with multisyllabic words? For example, putrefy would be /PAOUT/RU/TPAOEU, but I thought the "uh or ih" sound was dropped and it is not in the second syllable. By the way, I am currently studying the Phoenix Theory. Anyway, I appreciate any feedback and I hope you all have a blessed day!

Signed,

Definitely Need More Time In My Day LOL!

Thank you, Kathy! That was great feedback. When I posted this discussion it was at the beginning of my Theory II class. Next week are my finals! Everything you said is 100% true, and it is really starting to come together for me. The briefs are definitely not my priority at the moment. If I can recall it instantly I use it, if not I write it out. I will focus on my briefs in Theory III and speed.

I can't say this enough, but I LOVE this site! All of the members on here are so helpful and truly caring. I absolutely LOVE all the feedback and the positivity!

Have a fantastic day! :)
