Live to Fight Another Day

Posted by Aragoen Celtdra on 16th June 2008

The Lakers won last night on another tensed game. The more I watch them play the more I feel like they don’t deserve the trophy. For two nights in a row, they go up by 20 points against the Celtics only to give up the lead late in the game… again. I feel like they are just prolonging the inevitable – losing the champioship to the Celtics. As a fan, I obviously want to see them win. But I big part of me is very doubtful.

I’ll be taking my ICND2 test in 2 weeks. But just like the Lakers, I’ve hit the books strong for the last 3 months and took very detailed notes. And the last couple of days, I feel uninspired. Something must’ve gone wrong in the process because I now feel doubtful about passing this test come June 28th. The last few days have been incredibly difficult focusing. I pretty much wasted a huge portion of my free time over the weekend not studying. I did study but not enough as I could’ve. I took a good number of Boson exam prep questions and I was seriously tested. I was able to answer a good majority of them but I’m afraid I might run out of time on the exam like I did with the last test. I’m still very slow with subnetting. I’m pretty competent with my subnetting but I’m still slow. I rarely make mistakes on it, but that’s because I check and double check and triple check my subnetting math. I can say that I’m starting to feel the “second nature” skills start to come through but it’s still in its infancy. I need to start trusting my abilities otherwise that might prove to be my downfall in the exam. The last exam I took (ICND1) finished with 2 remaining questions unanswered. I still passed because of my strong performance in the beginning – similar to what the Lakers did last night. But I need to be sure I will pass this coming test with a solid and undeniable results.

I guess we’ll see. This weekend is passed so I now have today and the rest of the coming days to get better prepared.
