Yes, it is. I continually have to go over things, and I sometimes find I stumble on remembering even very common words. The more you can use your Spanish on a day to day basis, the faster it will become deeply ingrained in you.
I have heard that one must hear & use something 50-100 times before it is truly remembered. Once is never enough unless you are blessed with a photographic memory.
Practice, Practice, Practice and repetition, repetition, repretion. I also find it helpful to read as many of the questions and answers in this forum as possible. When I read sentences that others have submitted to the word of the day, I try to make sure I understand the grammar rules that apply. I often end up looking up grammar sections just to make sure. When I look up a grammar rule, I also print it out and make notes on it and save in a binder for the next time I need it. Eventually it sinks in.
No te preocupes. Es muy normal.
