What a crazy day. So, my wife asked me what I wanted to do this weekend,
but this time I didn't know what to say. Since spring I have been immensely
focused with this whole thing. Probably like most if not all of you, I
sacrificed my personal life to get this. So thank you all for the support
and the constant flow of thoughts.
What did I do? I learned the technology. My primary resource was the
Internetnetwork Expert CoD, their recommended reading material and their
labs. In my personal opinion, I think the recommended reading list from
both Cisco and Internetwork Expert are the most critical thing. Those give
you the foundation, so that you can get the most benefit from the CoD and
labs.
I attempted the lab 3 times:
Try 1 San Jose: I failed for many reasons, but at the top of the list I was
not ready.
Try 2 RTP: I really thought I rocked it, but unfortunately did not. I
affectionately look upon as when I really learned how important time
management; scenario recognition and attention to detail are.
3 RTP: Well, things went good. I was 75/25 when I walked out, in my favor
and it worked out.
So my point of this, is take your time learn the stuff. If I had, I would
be 2500 richer, and 2500 dollars is a whole lot of cocktails my friends.
Good luck!
