I’ll retype this due to the extreme bad English in the old one.

I’ll be booking my O/S exam for the 12th of May. 3 weeks i reckon will be enough time to recap my knowledge.

I’m then going to take the N+ exam which i estimate will take me around 4-6 weeks. Followed by the MCDST (Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Technician) which shoulf take me a little longer but shall be fun to learn.

Once i’m A+ Certified i’ll be applying for loads more jobs in the hope i get something out of it.

Got a score of 679 and they was suprised how quick i was in and out… (Had 2hr parking max and got there an hour early so had to kinda of speed things up). Took me around 20 minutes. Exam said 1hr and 20 i believe.

Now to do the operating system exam in 5 weeks!, and then i’m CompTIA A+ Certified!.

On my way home… i overtook an old man doing 30 in a 30… fair play to him but i knew once we reached the National Speed Limit he was going to go slow (They always do) so i overtook him. Had to stop at some lights and he was sticking hes fingers up! (looked in rear mirror) lol was funny. Just laughed… anyways got to the national speed limit and well i was doing around 50/55 and he must of been doing 40! i was losing him in my mirror! so the overtook was worth while. Can’t stand people doing less then 60 in national speed limit zones unless the road is proper dodgy… fair play.

My goal in life (At the moment) is to get a Honda Civic Type r (2007 reg) around January 2008. Some of you may think im stupid, nuts or it won’t happen but i can only try! the insurance will be around £1400 (i’ll be 21 and with 2 years no claims hence waiting longer). I’ll need a 5k deposit (another reason for waiting longer!) and it should cost me around £200-£250 per month based on 3/4 years and that i either pay the remaining or trade it in etc.

The hardest part will be saving the 5k deposit and assuming im earning around £800 per month to afford the monthly payments.

Heres a picture:

Best start looking for a new job and get saving!

“While coming from Mysore, we suddenly saw a big Firefox logo pasted on a bus. We stopped the car and and stopped the bus which was about to leave and took these photographs. I wonder if the artist knew where the logo came from”
