  Well well well ... my turn to post finally!

  I still can't believe that this journey is over. I passed on second
  attempt in RTP last
  week. I studied for over 1200 hours in my lab for my first attempt
  five weeks ago, and
  obviously failed. Not because of the technology, but because of time
  management. This
  time, I managed to finish all the tasks, but did not have time to run
  my usual TCL
  scripts or verify my work. I started studying for the CCIE in July
  2006 and passed the
  written exam at the end of October. For my studies, I used
  Internetwork Expert's
  Class-on-deman, technology labs and workbook version 4. I read all
  their recommended CCIE
  books prior to starting the lab. And I also spent a good amount of
  time reading the
  DocCD.

  I would like to thank all of my friends and family who were very
  supportive. I want to
  thank both Brians at Internetwork Expert for their amazing material.
  I also want to thank
  my study partner Eric Dobyns for his help in the last few weeks.
  Thanks to all the
  smart people on Group Study for posting and answering questions. And
  finally a big thank
  you to Howard the proctor in RTP for his patience (sorry if I asked
  so many questions).

  Now that I have an incredible amount of spare time, I might go for
  the Juniper
  certifications since it's free.

  Best of luck to all of you, in the end it will all be worth it.
