Ahead of Schedule!

Somehow or another, I've been somewhat obsessing over this project (who knew I liked learning and work?) I'm well ahead of schedule, and I don't plan on slowing down one bit. I have my overall designs and basic pages created, databases hooked up and running, and I'm now working on coding the CSS and bringing in content. I've hit a couple "life" snags along the way, but I've been able to stay focused and working on these projects even when I only have an hour to spare.

Things are going well with my individual study course, and I'm really, truly learning better work-flow methods in order to more efficiently work on my projects. My only concern is that I will not finish and absorb all the information and tools I'll need to create my gallery application for my portfolio, but I plan on refocusing all my energy on my Lynda.com course upon completing the other areas of each site.

In addition to my individual study course, I am also taking an Interactive Design course in the Graphic Design Department here at Shepherd University. I can now say I've been exposed to Wordpress (a breeze compared to Drupal), and my main challenge I've run into is how hard it is to keep switching directories as I am working on three completely separate websites simultaneously, but I'm pushing through it! My desktop is now covered with shortcuts and I'm surprised Xampp (similar to lamp, mamp, wamp, etc.) hasn't called in for a sick day yet :D
