sugarplumkitty | Thanks everyone for rejoicing with me!

I wish I had the energy to be excited. But I've just spent over a week completely focused on the final lab for my networking class. In theory, it was supposed to be a team effort but my lab partner unexplicably didn't want to team up. Everyone else teamed up with their lab partners so nobody was left to team with. I ended up doing it by myself. OMG. There was a lot of stuff in the lab we haven't been taught yet and some of it had to be figured out to do the part we have learned about.

Ugh. I was starting to explain what it was and my brain wigged out. It doesn't matter. Those of you who understand this stuff are members of the forum I turned to for help anyway. Except for last night, I've gotten 3 to 4 hours sleep each night. Last night I got 8. Ahhhh....

Still, when I went to turn the lab in, there was a practical final I needed to take. The first step was to make a crossover cable then to figure out subnetting for a situation then to set up a small network using the third subnet and the cable. I couldn't get the cable made properly. That's usually easy for me. I had pins that wouldn't get signal through even though the wires were the right length and I'd crimped the end as hard as I could. I asked the lab teacher if I could take the final next week. He said I could so I cut the ends off that cable and came home. I'm too tired to do anything. I think I'll rest tonight, sleep long tomorrow and start in on the Cisco modules I still need to finish. Then I'll make my flash cards to memorize all the anagrams and stuff that hasn't quite sunk in yet so I can pass the final on Wednesday.

Maybe I'll get excited after that. I know I will.
