I wish was a design expert but I am not. Thanks to a good chat with Afshin I have an idea of what to do about it.

The Odin Project: Open Sourced Learning
Week 21 of learning web development has now been completed. Its really did go by quick.
During the 12 weeks of Bloc I focused specifically learning rails and working through a small portion of Ruby. I also spent about 25+ hours a week learning through the Bloc curriculum. '
Well after much consideration and planning I have decided to cut that time down to the minimum of 15 hours a week. Last week I barely hit 14 hours, due to me also being behind in work and my Business Law course. I spent a good portion of my time on the Chuych app where I ran into nesting issues with my routes. I also implement mail chimp to begin making a mailing list for the beta. I have yet to do anything on the front end and have learned quite a bit through Dash from General Assembly.
I also cannot recommend the Odin project enough. Its a pretty inclusive rails app for all things web development. The web development meeting was cancelled for last night, but I did attend the Rails group. I am looking forward to using my learning time working through this curriculum and hopefully meeting some new developers.
The site is also open sourced and has a few todos on Pivotal Tracker. I am looking forward to potentially contributing to project, eventually.

Discovered and Starting the Odin Project
I took a bit of a break over the weekend with learning. I spent time with my family and got a new couch. It was nice to not have the pressure of a personal deadline.
Well that did not last long, since I have now discovered the Odin Project. This project is actually something I found a month ago and ignored. I followed the Google plus group but did not really follow, but that changed on Sunday night when I was cruising the internet and saw a notification for a Hangout on Air Sunday night.
Apparently this group is doing what I would eventually like to get to with the Ruby Newbies group. The group has a curriculum and each week they meet to go over the assignment. They also have opportunity for pairing through out the week.
Sunday marked week 1 of the Rails project group, but the also a Wed Dev 101 group going on at he same time. Meeting times are on Sunday and Wednesday Evening.
If you have any interest in learning check out the Odin curriculum. They have done a good job laying out what you need to learn and its free.
I have begun this week's assignment, which is the blog app by Jumpstart Labs. I also started Dash and HTML and CSS Codecademy, per the the Web Dev 101 coursework. I have a strong need to learn Front-End Design and hopefully Odin will get it done with me.
