You're a quick learner, I think. Just go out and take photos like mad! I'm old enough to remember using film, and having to worry about running out of frames and spending money for processing. Now I can shoot hundreds of photos, make lots of mistakes, and do my own processing on the computer. Also, today's cameras are much smarter. Even so, I prefer shooting in manual mode sometimes if I want a particular effect or exposure.

I shoot 99% of the time in manual.
I've learned a lot over these months, but still mess up regularly.
Here's my flickr if you want to take a look: https://www.flickr.com/photos/144004577@N03/

When I take touristy kind of shots, or snapshots for remembrance's sake, I'll let the camera run in auto mode. When I want more artsy results, or want to capture the scene as my eyes see it, I'll use manual mode and bracket my shots just like in the old film days.
