Everyone has said it a bunch already; wait-time is common. I had a 40 day period (first contact solo to the aerobatics) in Whiting where I did nothing. It may seem like it sucks, but you will be blasted through something later on and wish you were doing nothing again. Then, you'll have nothing and wish you were being thrust through the syllabus. It is the way of CNATRA and probably the way of the fleet too (I wouldn't yet know.)
Hell, even right now I'm in the midst of a big change. I just had 28 flights in 18 days while I was in El Centro, and now in Kingsville I've flown once in the past week and may not fly much more than that next week. So, it happens. You will become very accustomed to it.
As for studying advice, if you've only flown once before you still probably have a very limited idea of what is appropriate knowledge. You need to know your EPs cold (notes/warnings/cautions included.) You need to know your limits cold, like you know EPs. You should be very very very familiar with the systems; I don't mean simply know the standard PSI of the hydraulic system, and the watts/voltage/current type of the electrical system. You should know what capabilities you lose when a component fails, how that component may fail, how it is supposed to operate normally, what indications you will have, and what kind of decision you will have to make. You're flying an ejection seat aircraft, so that makes some things easy; ie. I'm on fire, I'm going to have to eject. However, if you're up at Brewton and you lose your radios and your displays, what went wrong? What are you going to do with the plane? Are you heading back to Whiting? Are you stopping at Brewton?
Read the NATOPs, go back and re-read the engineering pubs for amplifying information. Put it all together and think about how stuff is supposed to work, and what happens when it doesn't work.
If you're able to get into the simulator, use it. It isn't a replacement for flying the plane, but it will really help you start to gain a feel for throttle and stick movements so that you slowly become less rigid and mechanical and more fluid when you fly. It will also help you perform in the aircraft because you will slowly find yourself able to think less about how to fly and more about what you need to be doing next, because the flying will become natural. Practice entering the OLF landing pattern, practice exiting the pattern, practice the landing pattern itself and in every configuration, practice precautionary approaches (if I remember correctly you call them PELs), practice straight in approaches, practice course rules from both sides of the MOA and landing at all runways, go through the motions of when you will start descending to your altitudes, how you will manage your energy to gain or lose the airspeed that you need to gain/lose.
If the first time you find yourself thinking about how to do these things is in the plane, while you're still trying to figure out how to fly the plane, you're going to struggle and it is going to suck. Even if most other students find themselves in that same boat, you've got all this time to go and figure it all out. So do it. Use that time.
I was in a dumb slump for a bit a little over a month ago, but my mentality picked up quickly (thanks in part to the fine motivators here at AirWarriors) and my schedule followed shortly thereafter. Definitely learning to love the free time and love the busy time as much as possible.
