your concerns are normal, and i imagine everyone faces them. those trivial distractions are a constant, and just as much a part of the learning curve as the technology itself. re: end of year goal, since time is a factor, i'd suggest building website with some data driven functionality, such as a shopping cart, stock tkr, or blog. there just is no substitute for experience, and solving real world problems is the best way to learn a technology. if you know anyone who needs an online presence, offer to do it for dirt cheap or free. even if you don't complete it by the end of the year, you'll have something tangible that you can build on, as opposed to ending the year with only academic knowledge.
