Welcome back!

I know many of you have heard the term before. It’s not uncommon for someone to get in over their head, and its especially easy in the networking world to do just that. I set a goal a little while back to achieve the CCIE R&S in 90 days. At the time it seemed like a reasonable goal with my background. Since then I have learned a great deal about my weaknesses and the amount of content that’s actually involved in the CCIE R&S. Well, I’m here to tell you that a CCNP is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to being prepared for the CCIE R&S.

So, will I get it done? Can I actually get the R&S done in 90 days. Unlikely. I have much respect for those that have, but I have found that as I study the IPexpert material on the BLS there is much that I don’t know. I’m not saying that I can’t do it, I am just saying that 90 days may be a little unreasonable after all. There are of course multiple factors that play into this.

1. Getting a Lab date is tough right now since the lab is changing.
2. My schedule is hectic.
3. My family has to come first.
4. I have a lot to learn still.

So, I’m not going to give up, but I’m putting things into perspective.  I guess I’ll have to see how things go.  I haven’t even made it out of volume 1 of the workbooks yet, and that scares me!
