Happy Holidays

Hello everyone and apologies for the long absence. I hope everyone's holiday season is going well and that everyone did well in the fall semester. I unfortunately did not do as well as i could do to some work related injuries but i vow to come back in the Winter and do excellent to help bring back up my GPA. Christmas was ok as far as i had little time to actually relax and enjoy my three days off. My wife and kids made out well over Christmas while i did alright. Now we are all preparing for the New Year and with it a lot of things that will be set in motion.

I was scheduled to graduate this Spring but do to some errors on my degree audit report i am being pushed back a year. I am in the process of getting it fixed and i hope to still be on schedule to graduate. I am sure i will get the same great support that i normally receive from the advisement staff. I am still proceeding though as if i am graduating and that entails me going for my GMAT exam. I will let you guys know how that goes as i know many of my fellow classmates want to pursue a masters degree. A word of advice, do not skip taking the GMAT, any Grad School program that does not need a GMAT is not a school or program to enroll in. I have had friends not take the GMAT and get into a Graduate program and they all said it was a waste of time and money.

The next major goal for next year is to achieve my CCNA and get a better job with it. Simultaneously my wife will being her search for a job since i am not getting any raises this year but i am grateful to have a job. Getting my CCNA will be a challenge because i will be technically studying 6 different things at once, My four classes, the GMAT and the CCNA. Hopefully i will be able to achieve all of these goals by the middle of next year, or at least that is the plan. If i am able to achieve my CCNA by June i will then work on my CCNA Security exam and hopefully achieve that by the end of the year. January looks promising as many companies are releasing their hiring freezes and hopefully i can cash in. Anyway see you guys next year.
