Well, I’ve earned another piece of paper to hang on the wall. I’m officially a Cisco Certified Network Associate. I’m quite thrilled about this one, as it’s the first one specific to the networking field (and inherently, my current job!). I’m now all smart and stuff. Finally, someone other than me is recognizing it. 
My next project is going to be finishing off my MCSE. I’m not really using this knowledge (especially considering I haven’t used Windows in over 6 months), but I’m only 2 exams (in a 7 exam series) away from getting it, so I might as well finish it off. It’s still a really beneficial piece of paper to have, and a safety net is always good.
