Certified

I am in an unofficial race with Dad to get certified. He is wanting to get certified in Java and I'm going for CCNA....again. It's unofficial because he doesn't know about it being a race yet - this should help give me a head start. I went to register for the test today, but you have to have an account first. So I created an account, but now I'm waiting for them to email me my password so I can continue. In the mean time I'm brushing up and realizing that perhaps there is still plenty of studying and refreshing left to do before I should take the test, but a deadline should help. Maybe I'll be able to study while rocking a baby to sleep....Maybe I should schedule the test for December. Also, I've noticed it's really easy to get distracted when you're not used to studying...but with frequency it should get easier to stay focused.
