Nice! You should join the collab working session today. Check the community calendar...we meet 3 times a week to do working sessions together. Mondays are for compositors to collab and update their comp reels...and Tuesdays are for 3D and motion graphics artists to work on their 3D reels. Then Thursdays are for lead generation for clients.
