Hey man, nice start there. Renato is right. Writing helps organizing thought. As for feeling like you are studying, I have it from time to time, that I really feel like I learned something. Usually it is when I do couple a sketch of a thing with different approaches (2d/3d) and then do a copy from memory. Copying is good, you learn to judge values, colors, angles and stuff. To retain it better, I think (not a master on the subject) copying isn't enough, but you have to think about it and just draw it, until it is stuck in your head. And take notes. But as long as you draw, everything will be fine :)
