Re: searching for a mentor

Hi there! I am a new list member, as of Tuesday.

I can see where ccie9999 is coming from, I think, and I've actually
considered asking one of my CCIE friends the same question. I am taking the
CCIE lab on December 17th. I'm not looking for a "mentor" per say. Maybe
just someone to talk to each week (or so ) to keep me on track. I am a ccnp
& ccip and have a "decent" understanding of things. My study patterns are
just all over the place it seems.

I've tried reading all the sources I can find on peoples approaches to the
lab, using the Document CD, Drawing everything out, etc. which also brought
me to joinign this list. I suppose what I am really looking for is just
people to talk to about my studying, efforts, and approach. Maybe this list
will do just that?
