The 3rd week goes to the end. This week I worked around 25h on tactic, watching videos and learning openings. Im struggling with openings because I can't learn it for both colors at same time, there are too many variations. I think it would make more sense to learn for couple of weeks(3-4) only for one color and try to implement it in my game and then switch to another opening. Im not sure if its possible to play only with one side?

You could play both colors but focus on the opening phase for one color at a time. I don't think the server let's you enter the normal pool of players if you force a color. Also, don't focus too much effort on the opening
