1. Be patient. Just do the steps through. The major difficulty is that there is no way, I've learned, to test what you've absorbed by yourself. You just have to trust yourself. The info in your subconscious will come by itself.
2. I personally like the blip in the page. It gives me something to look at. As long as while you're looking at the blip, and you can still see the 4 corners of the book, then it should be fine. If you have the tendency to focus on a word, then you are not keeping your conscious mind busy enough. Concentrate a little harder on your mantra. I personally don't use 'Relax', but a self-improving phrase that I currently need work on in my personal life.
3. I'm in college too. I photoread the entire both pages. Just try to position yourself that you're facing the book directly, not at an angle.
