I finally got clarification on my certification status for work. I just need two more exams, not three :D! Praise Allah. I was so scared about needing my MCITP by March 5, and time was winding down without anyone giving me an answer.
I am ready to spend the next two months studying for these tests so I can get them out of the way along with the anxiety of all of this. Fernando is sending me some study materials now from his work library, and I will schedule my first test probably for the last week this month. These Microsoft exams will be a little more difficult than the security+. But damn, I am just so relieved that I do not need my MCITP.
I will, however, be taking two exams that will leave me only needing one more to get my MCITP if I want it. So I will be finishing that out. Its just a relief not to need it by March. Then.. it should be easier to get a job in Boston or New York come next year or so. In September, I am hoping my landlord will be up for a 6 month lease. I am not sure how our lease agreement will work. In all the apartments I have lived in, you initially needed a long term lease, but once that term was up you could live month to month (albeit sometimes for a little more in rent). But those were like, big apartment complexes. I know I will be here in Newport this entire year, most likey. But I want the option to be able to leave in 2013. Oh god. My high school reunion is in 2013. I can’t believe its next year. Jesus. ಠ_ಠ
