CCNA

Sorry it has been such a long time since my last post, I have been focusing on the CCNA exam, which I finally took yesterday and passed.  Here are some stats that are just as exciting as studying for the exam was.

Pages Read:   ~900 from one book, a few hundred more from websites

Practice Tests Taken:  40
Practice Test Questions Answered: 1250
Time Spent on Those Tests: ~16 hrs
Time Spent Reviewing Those Tests: ~15 hours
Flash Cards Made:  200
Time to Figure Out These Stats: 10 minutes

As you can see, I've had my hands full.   Thankfully that is over with and now I just have to review the flash cards once a week or so to make sure I dont forget all that.

Can anyone guess what I'll be doing with my time from now on?  Well, starting tonight I'm reading A Tale of Two Cities.   After that I will split my time between reading the stack of books I haven't read, and trying to learn two languages.   One is a very usefully language to learn, specially since I am from Texas, but the other is an outdated form of communication only used by ham radio enthusiasts.  While the second language is completely useless, the nerd in me thinks it would be really cool to know.  We'll see if I end up learning either.
