Unfortunately, I was not able to achieve my most important objective for 2011, which of course was/is CCIE R&S!!!
I have been felling a little down, questioning about if I should proceed with this objective or not because I have spent a lot of my time and money, and the worst part is the time that I have spent on this, but bottom line considering what I have put on this I don’t have any option other than continue on this track.
Although I was not able to get my digits, I increased a lot my networking skills, I’ve spent the majority of my free time studying and practicing, basically after the work and during the weekends. Then I decided to sell my rack and with that money I went for a one week bootcamp with Narbik (which was great and really met my expectations!!). In total, I have spent four weeks from my holidays to study, to go for the bootcamp and to take two (failed) attempts… A part of these failures, it was a great year though! 
I have been wondering and planning how should I proceed after all what I have done so far. Basically I think I will need “just” to start all over again, I mean, I will be more focused in the details. I am using both two workbooks that I’ve got from Narkik’s bootcamp, which is Advanced and the Bootcamp workbooks, and also the INE Vol.1 workbook. Meantime maybe I can arrange time to go with a free re-take for the Narbik’s bootcamp. Finally, I will probably do some 8 hour labs and maybe some mock labs, and if I feel confident I will then schedule my third and hopefully last attempt!
Most important than anything is to have a good health for me and my family, and the rest will certainly come sooner or later…
