Id say get a 6 pack of beer and drink to your hearts content. Then marry
your cousins duaghter.
In all honestly, i think you answered your own question. I would study on
the things you feel are rusty like your ISDN. If you dont understand
redistribution to well then id study that too.
Just trying to help.
