HNC + MCDST!

Told ya it wouldn’t be a month… :P

Work have been kindly enough to allow me to complete my HNC at college! But i have to start studying the Microsoft Certified Support Technician (MCP) for the company, which is not a problem as it’s the way i personally want to go!

My Network+ study is going very well! I’ve got around 200 pages left in the Mike Meyers all in one book (and yes i’m taking it in). Once i’ve completed reading the book i’m moving straight onto the CBT Nuggets trianing videos and loads of practise questions from the mike meyers cdrom and various sites.

So by the end of this year i should be A+, N+ and MCDST qualified! though i would like to get another MCP by the end of the year.

Everything is going great, looking at getting a 03/04 plate Renault Clio around October ish and doing some driving about…

Thats it for now!

WoW a month!

Hello,

It’s been a while since i last posted, nearly around a month damn i’m getting lazy.

My new job is great and i’ve been enjoying the work! I really need to start slapping my self and try harder to fix problems in quicker times and starting using my head without diving into things (Bad habbits.)

My Network+ study is going slowly… i was expecting to take the exam this month but due to working and such i’ve become lazy! Anyways i’ve been studying in my lunch break and should have this done within the next month or 2.

That’s the post over for another month… nah it’ll be shorter then a month, i promise! :)
