Final Two Weeks

 

Week of June 26th

It has been a busy month. My SANS course BACS 3275: Foundations: Computers, Technology, & Security is going well. I am a little bit behind as to where I would like to be. Currently, I am 91% through the modules. However, I have to take two practice tests as well and index my textbooks yet. All of which need to be done before my certification exam. I felt pretty good about the course in the beginning, but it started getting a lot more in-depth much faster than I thought that it would.

I've been a bit distracted by life lately. Just lots to think about always. However, I am definitely blessed and I am thankful for everything that I have been given. I just need to stay focused and keep my head down. 

I reregistered for Hack the Box, and I am thinking about rejoining TryHackMe as well. I always get so much knowledge out of those sites. SANS has something like it called "CyberStart", but I haven't looked into it much. Oh, I also started following along with @TheCyberMentor on Twitch. His company TCM Security is streaming free PNPT training twice a week right now. So there is another additional activity. I always get myself in over my head trying to do too many things at once. It's probably my biggest downfall when it comes to learning. This isn't the first time I have mentioned this issue either. 

I have my certification exam scheduled for July 7th. I will be going to a testing center to have the exam proctored. This is a good thing because there will be fewer distractions I think. If and when I pass this certification, I plan on starting right up with the next course in my degree plan. 

Well, I should probably get to my studies. I think I will set a goal to finish the rest of the modules tonight, that way I can start fresh tomorrow (Monday) and begin indexing my textbooks. 

Thanks again for stopping by!
