Networks, Networks, Networks, Oh My!!!

So networks are pretty much my entire school life right now. I'm both fascinated by them and hating them at the same time.

I did not pass my networks class in January. As of late last week, I was confident I could pass the test now. As of this morning, my brain is so fried, I think I'll be lucky to ever pass it.

I had some issues with my computer, resulting in me removing Windows 10 and going back to 8.1. I miss XP.

But back to my network class. In order to take the test again, I have to make sure all my work on the website they send you to is complete with all exercises and quizzes done in test mode with a 90% pass. Then I had at least 2 of 4 practice tests done in test mode again with at least a 90%. Then the postassessment in test mode with at least a 90%. A very long list of vocabulary on a website to review. A long list of videos to watch. A graphic of the OSI model to review. Section and end of chapter questions to review. And finally the school pre-assessment with a score of 85% or better.

Currently I'm working on the chapter questions. And am way more confused than I was when I started this class. But I'm getting there.

Hopefully I'll get this class done and be ready to start the next one, which is for the Network + certification before too much longer. I had wanted to be done by now with at least one of these classes but so far, no luck. Maybe in the next week or so.

That's the news from me, Have a great week and go learn networks so you can explain them to me.
