I also highly recommend starting a 365 project. Using your camera every day will increase your knowledge exponentially.

After 60 days I was very comfortable with my camera and playing with OCF. Considering looking at the back of my T2i looked like Russian to me when I first got it that was an extremely fast learning curve.

You'll be surprised at how much more comfortable you are with your camera after even 14 days.
