Re-getting into C++ again

Hi there fellows, Some less then a year ago, I bought a book about the basics of C++. I had many free time in those days, so I managed to learn about data types, functions, arrays, vectors, pointers, classes and inheritance. Then I arrived at a chapter about dynamic memory. For me, it was (and is) a hard chapter, but the main problem was that I didn't have enough time anymore to finish it. So everytime I did some paragraphs, I couldn't program for weeks and I had to start over. But then, I literally had no free time anymore. So now I am here and, with the summer break coming, I really want to get back where I was. In the summer break, I want to start right off with the chapter again and finish the book, so I can start making some small games. But I have a problem: because I didn't program for such a long time, I forgot many things. Last time, I forgot that I had to make a constructor and I even didn't knew for an instance, how to make a good use of If statements to get something done. I obviously need to refresh everything, but if I need to restart with my book, I'm sure I will lose my courage (because I'm pretty for with it). So my question is, what is the best way of getting back into C++ again and refresh my knowledge? BTW: if you tell me to make some programs, could you tell me what kind of programs I can make, that will help me/be a very good practice Thanks.

The red line in all replies is that you should just get out there and create stuff.
Start small, expand and learn along the way. Start using std::vector for dynamic memory allocation etc.
