i took 6 hours of java during my freshman year and ran into the same problem you seem to have. i could wrap my mind around the concepts of what i wanted to happen but i could not translate that into keyboard strokes.
my advice: i ended up doing fairly well in there after i downloaded some open source simple java apps and scripts. find some easy ones that you KNOW what they're supposed to do and read how they accomplished it. it's basically reverse engineering their work in your mind... but it helped me out a lot. make sure to not copy their code... but no one will mind you learning from it.
