So, my goal was to have both Network+ and Security+ before Thanksgiving... I was only able to get Network+ before Thanksgiving, so then my new goal was Security+ before Christmas.
UNFORTUNATELY, while my classes ended December 19th, I wasn't able to get the exam voucher until closer to Christmas and no one had any available slots until January. I scheduled it for January 6th. Holidays came and gone, then I sort of had a bit of a depression state and thought I was also coming down with something, so I rescheduled it for Friday the 13th for the same time slot.
Fast forward to today. I studied until up to this morning and went to take my exam. I passed!!
