For me learning Clojure was a real pain. It was awkward and weird and felt wrong. But really I was just trapped in an OO-only world and didn't know better. I don't think there is s such a thing as what is "natural" in programming. For loops are natural? -- psha. Objects are natural? -- no way nature invents something so complicated.
My point is that Clojure is a different perspective. You have to accept that and go with it, and then it might start to make sense. It did for me. To the point that I don't want to develop in another language. So I suggest you take it to heart. Put deftype, defrecord and defprotocol away and don't pull them back out for quite some time. At the beginning, they are just a distraction from Clojure's core philosophy. Focus on maps, vectors, sets, functions, multimethods and macros.
