As long as I'm on the topic of conquering, I started a new quest today: teaching myself basic coding skills. Yes, by "coding" I mean web development. It seems like a win from every angle; my resume will benefit not only from listing it as a skill, but a self-taught skill, and Codecademy is free. The likelihood of retaining everything that the tutorials are teaching is still up for debate, but worst case scenario is that I'll be better able to understand the code that I mess around with while designing my blogs.
There are slightly more than two hours for me to pull the trigger on yet another quest. Groupon has an online language training deal posted until midnight. For six months of unlimited access, the cost is only $49. Seems like a great deal; they're calling it 95% off retail. Skepticism is inhibiting me from acting, though. Independent customer reviews of this program are non-existent. Their website is extremely cookie cutter and doesn't give me a sense of security. As much as I would love to renew my focus on Spanish, my gut tells me that over 1,000 people just got conned. So, it's still a viable quest, I just need to find a different route.
