I finally completed all the exercises for the Ruby course on [Codeacademy](https://www.codecademy.com)!

I should have finished it sooner but got sidetracked by life. Now it's time to move on to the next part and actually build a script.

It was a decent experience using Codeacademy. They explained each part when going through the course and had hints to help you through it. I admit I was completely lost a few times and took me a while to figure out how to do some of the exercises even though they give you the answer after so many failed attempts. I would keep trying before I eventually gave up and looked at the answer.

One of the last sections towards the end went over object-oriented programming that can mix module methods at the class level using `extend`. This means that class itself can use the methods, as opposed to instances of the class.

```
module ThePresent
  def now
    puts "It's #{Time.new.hour > 12 ? Time.new.hour - 12 : Time.new.hour}:#{Time.new.min} #{Time.new.hour > 12 ? 'PM' : 'AM'} (GMT)."
  end
end

class TheHereAnd
  extend ThePresent
end

TheHereAnd.now
```

There a lot more I need to learn and will probably have to go back and go over the course since I have a terrible memory but at least I know a little bit more when it comes to reading some code. 

I need to get back to studying so I can get my Ruby on :P
