yup
i felt exactly like that Dan. I knew all this shit, but i couldnt use it. Or , i didnt know how it fitted all together. But since starting work all of a sudden you find yourself understanding these ideas and concpets you've never heard befor, and its because you just needed a context and someone to say that one little thing that ties together two vast seemingly unrelated subsets of info together, or youve thought of a solution to a problem that ties together the plethora of information you though was useless. I learnt java in a week from scratch, but i didnt really because i already knew most of it , i just didnt know i knew it. The hardest time i had was coping with the vast amount of objects that exist, but thats not a programming thing. We didnt do java at uni, we used pascal 1st year, then whatever the hell we wanted to (usually c). Theyre all the same anyway.... >8)
So dont fret, all that useless crap will become useful when(if) you get a job coding
