Second Week Back on It!

     

January 10th-16th 2022

    They say it can take 21 days to form a habit, some say it's 66 days. Either way, I am back on track to making my daily studies a habit again. 

Here are a few of the things I was able to complete this week:

• SANS Technology Institute - completed a 2-hour online assessment which covered areas such as networking and operating systems, and measures general information security aptitude. Required for the application process.

• Submitted my full application to SANS Institute for their bachelors program. The deadline was the 15th for this enrollment session.

• Finished Chapter 1 with the quiz in Python 4 everybody EDx Course.

• Thought about starting a YouTube channel to go along with my journey and blog. Jotted down a few ideas. 

• Updated some additional information on my LinkedIn.

• Got Rick Rolled by trying to log in to gain root access to admin.tryhackme.com (you should try it)

    There is one other thing I was able to accomplish this week, however it isn't really cybersecurity-related. I haven't had a Red Bull or a Monster all week! For me, that is a major accomplishment. I've been addicted to these energy drinks for probably 10 years. I know it's disgusting. Maybe even longer than that, honestly. So for me to be able to go a week without one is a major hurdle.

    On to the next week. Hopefully, I will have lots to report back. I know that no one actually reads this blog, but it is helpful for me to put a few checks in the boxes and reflect on what I've done.
