Twitter and Facebook, I have been keeping folks up-to-date about me. The downside is that I’ve not really had the energy to post here as well. The truth is that there has been quite a bit going on with me over the last several months. My third of four CCNA prep classes ended on the 24th of March. I scored a 96.1% on the final exam, with a final grade in the class of 97.8%. Not to shabby, ‘eh? Yeah, I’m pretty happy with that grade. I started the fourth class in the series on Monday this week, and it’s been fun so far. This class is named, “Accessing the WAN” and is proving to be very interesting so far. My job ends next week, and that’ll leave me more time to concentrate on my studies if I don’t find another one right away. In other news, which was documented on Facebook, I’ve actually managed to pay off my car! Not only did I pay it off, but I paid it off over six month early!!! Yeah, I’m pretty happy about that. I also found out a few weeks ago that I’d forgotten that I paid off my insurance for this period at the same time. Bonus! Not having a monthly insurance payment to go with that lack of car payment rocks even more. The extra $500 per month will help nicely since I’m going to school and on a limited income. Now I just need to pay my credit cards off and start working on paying my landlord some of the back rent I owe him. Here’s hoping I can find a nicer paying job once I have my CCNA in hand, and be able to pay him double for a while. What else has been going on with me? Well, I started using LoseIt for the iPhone back in December. As of last week, I’ve lost just shy of 28 lbs. I actually haven’t been using it for the last 6 or 7 weeks, but I have been eating less and exercising (CLIMBING!) more. One of the things LoseIt did for me was help me learn how to eat less and still be satisfied. My biggest problem was that I was snacking quite often, and that didn’t help with the weight loss. Last month I got rid of my 42″ and 40″-waist pants and downgraded to 38. Hopefully by June I’ll be down to 36. 😀 Anyway… I’m sure there’s more I could talk about, but it’s not really coming to mind right now. Hopefully my next post won’t be so long coming, and I’ll get back into the habit of non-microblogging again. That’s all from me for now. Thanks for visiting and Keep Coming Back!!!]]>
