It won´t always be the way you wished for. I don´t think there is any one, who would not wish his learning Chinese went a bit faster.
But don´t let that make you depressed, though learning Chinese is not always fun, you should try to make it more appealing to you. It can be recommended that you use different methods of learning.
That will probable make it seem more refreshing, than if you just go by the same approach all the time.
