One more note about my programming studies:

I found out there isn't a way to "study" programming. No amount of detailed note taking really improved my ability to do anything with the R programming language. Passive viewing of lectures, writing down very basic rules, and hands-on practice are the only ways I've been able to gather precious nuggets of programming knowledge. It's weird and feels very different from typical study methods for academia. I remember memorizing over half of the content that made up my college degree. History, writing, basic finance and economics formulas, trig identities, etc. were all memorized and hardly understood at anything remotely close to first principles.

Anyway, back to work. For real this time.
