AP Calc: Week 9 - Ahhhhhhh!!

I am really rather confused at the moment. The deeper we get into derivatives, the more confusing it gets. Sometimes I will feel for a moment that I compeletely understand what is going on, then other times I feel like I have no idea what I am doing. This week we learned how to find the derivatives of e^x and ln/logs. These have compeletely thrown me off my game, as I am really not sure how they work. Hopefully with practice comes perfect, but its hard to do that when I am unable to practice correctly. What is even worse is that I will be gone most of next week, so I will just be falling farther behind. I am going to try to do my work while in Indianapolis, but anything can happen. I feel really confident with the multiplication and division problems, and even some trig functions, but anything after that is beyond me. Hopefully this is one of those things that "clicks" and then I'll just magically understand everything. From what I can tell, this is a lot of memorizing, and I'm struggling with that part, and I am quickly running out of space on my cheat sheet!
