It's great that you have a rich and varied love of games. From that I anticipate that game programming is something you'd like to do - someday. Take the time to learn the basics first. Realize that it takes some time, maybe a year or two, depending on how much time and effort you put into it. Put the controller away, put time into your studies, and make the effort.
Without a solid understanding of the basics, you'll continue to start projects you can't finish, quit in frustration, return weeks/months later, repeat until final failure and return to being a full-time game player. You decide.
Good luck!
Thank you for the warm welcome and sound advice! I think I do have the discipline to stick it out, it was more of a tell my hobbies kind of thing when I was talking about RPG's, but yes you are right that I would like to be involved in developing a game someday
, thanks GrenBrannon!
