Last sem break was one of my most productive sem break. I had 3 to-do lists to be completed and I managed to complete all of it. :)
To-do lists:
- Finish a book - Bought a story book recently entitled 'Paladin Prophecy' and I finished that book. Now waiting for book 2 which will release early next year. A good sci-fi/fantasy light reading book.
- Finish reading one of my NCLA coursebook - I had registered to take Novell Certified Linux Administrator (NCLA) exam and I am planning to take the exam in August. Was given two books for self study. Hope I can finish the other book before my current semesters end.
- Pass Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) exam - I was longing to take this course for a very long time. Finally got a change to take this thanks to MDec who provides full reimbursement if I pass the exam on first trial. Managed to pass the exam last Friday after attending a 4 and half day training. Got my first professional certificate!
So that was my sem break to-do lists. I think I am addicted in obtaining professional certificates. Next target is NCLA and also planning to get CCNA routing and switches, CCNA security, perhaps AIX and ECSA. If only the prices for these certs are cheaper. :(
On the other hand, my term as ICF treasurer had ended. It was a great learning experience. That was the most easy going committees I had ever work with. Not sure is that a good thing? Managed to get to know some of them better. I thank God for giving me the chance to serve Him in INTI.
This sem is going to be intense for me. 20 hours classes per week and to be completed in 7 weeks time. I really have to prepare myself mentally and physically for this sem especially for Routing Protocols and Concepts. That subject is going to be pushing. Hope to update soon.
