update

Alright...


Same thing has been happening..... but this year at Davenport has mostly been good. I enjoy going to school there and even though I have to take a few classes that I don't want to take, things have been good. I did make the Dean's List this semester because I got a 3.8X GPA which moves my overall GPA to 3.5X. I just hope that I can get the GPA higher.

I have to choose my classes for next year. It's tough because I'm a double major and I could be a single major and take pregraduate classes so I won't have to take them later on but there are other classes I want to take like Spanish and Cisco Voice. But since I don't the CCNA it would take longer to graduate with a double major. One concern that I have is that because I won't have a degree in Network Administration, will it make it more difficult for me to have a job with Routing and Switching. Even though I want to do security, I would like to work with Routing and Switching with a little voice.  Anyways, having a degree in Network Security would be great and since I already have an Associates degree in Network Administration, I don't think it would be bad. Especially since I will go and get the MSIA.

I've been looking at this penetration testing course for a little while and the new version of the course came out but the price went out. I think that I will have to save my money for the course and work on the course while I'm at school next year. It would be great to complete the course for eCPPT and then I could go back and get the C|EH. I hope this really helps me get a Network Security job. The CCNA:Security will help too and plus I would like to get some security certifications completed through Cisco.

The ICND2 has been a very difficult test because for some reason, I know a lot of the material but I still can't pass the test but I've been getting close to passing. I just have to spend a little more time on the material to pass the test.

Project Management is boring.......!!!!!!!!

Done with work!!!!!!!

I did get to upgrade my computer. New processor corei7 2600 with a new motherboard, ram, and a SSD. I installed windows 7 and it's great! I'm having a few problems with some programs that are on the other hard drives where programs won't run until I restart. Maybe I should install them on the SSD. I plan on buying more SSDs later on and buying bigger hard drives to replace the other hard drives that I have.

I've still being studying Russian. I'm trying to hurry and learn as many words as I can but I'm learning a lot more even though I'm not getting the help and support that I need because of different reasons but it's fun. Grammar is still a problem and hopefully can spend a couple weeks on the grammar so I can communicate better. I wish I could study the other languages more.
