> Hey group,

> Well, the shock is still setting in a little bit after my first (and
> now I can say only!) attempt. I just got back to the hotel after phoning
> just about everyone in my cell phone directory and driving around the RTP
> Cisco campus to take some pictures. It's a beautiful place.
> I met some really great guys attempting the lab. I was sorry to see
> them leave before completing it. The proctors were fair, as has been said
> many times before. I felt really good about the first day, reasonably
sure
> about the second day and a little less sure by the time I got to
> troubleshooting. But, alas, I walked out with a smile ear to ear and that
> little yellow sticky note. I'm still a little giddy.
> I took the same certification evolution as most - (as you can see by
> my sig). I feel that helped not only in my preparation for the material,
> but in keeping me progressing forward with milestones to judge my
progress.
> I used the same study materials as most - Halabi, Doyle, Caslow, fatkid,
> ccbootcamp, cisco's website, etc... I also have a study partner, Ken Yeo,
> who I would like to thank for helping me understand some things that were
> unclear and helping me keep an optimistic attitude about the whole
process.
> Besides getting study partner, my biggest recommendation, which most
> of you have probably already surpassed, is to set a schedule for yourself
> and _write it down_. It's amazing how easy it is to put off a goal if you
> don't have it in writing.

> So, now I'm off to have a nice steak and _relax_. Good luck to
> everyone in their endeavor and I hope to hear from you with your success
> story soon!

> By the way, if anyone knows of companies hiring or good headhunters
in
> Chicago, please let me know. I'm looking to make a move as soon as the
> right opportunity pops up.
