first thing. move closer to work, and you'd have saved 15 hrs to put into your project. from what you say, it's right in the face. trying to save few $100's in rent by wasting the time on commute is the worst trade off you are making right now. If you think spending few $100s extra on a place closer to work should be minimal compared to what you think your project is worth. If you think otherwise, i'm not sure how much important this project is to you.
second thing. don't speculate how much responsibility you might have. Don't promise on taking responsibility from your manager only to do what you don't enjoy as much; only take what you can at the current work pace. if you are not trying to climb up the corporate ladder, why take more than necessary responsibilities and make your life harder? be an mediocre employee at a corporate entity. Produce 8hrs worth of deliverables every day, be present, and contribute to the job in those 8 hrs, no more. that should work for most corporations.

He's bias is obvious, minus the facts. It's like seeing inarticulate sieglar; at least i respect sieglar because he knows good deal about apple and does articulate it well.
I switch between Python and Ruby for the most part, and I find Rb/Py to be very close in syntax, than Rb/JS. So between Rb/Py I mostly confuse the if/elsif statements more than anything else, and refer to python manual from time to time.
If you point to specifics, may be we can discuss more about what is confusing and how to avoid it.
No I'm not being dismissive, that's the tl;dr.
And no matter how you concentrate on getting out of box experience, people should really use common sense when it comes to opening boxes.
