Edit: finished studying. Didnt lift though, i fell asleep and woke up too tired at 9pm to lift. Ill lift tmrw and saturday so i dont miss a workout this week.

This job would be perfect for me:

I'm definitely applying. One of my older professors knows people there. He's writing me a letter of recommendation for it. Hope it goes well.

Definitely going to do a crash SQL course after passing my CISSP.

Pretty good sleep last night. I feel very stress-free being unemployed. I have also re-gained my focus. I used to not be able to read for long at all while studying for these certs. I wrote about terrible brain fatigue I had a while back while getting my net+... I'm learning twice as much now and I don't have that brain fatigue/fogginess.

Edit: Got pretty tired by the time I lifted. I noticed I get dead tired at around 6 or 7pm. It's when all the studying catches up to me, plus I leave to walk home 2.5mi away from school.

Putting the real test questions on hold until I complete the textbook, which I plan to do on Sunday. After that I'll shoot for 100 to 200 test question a day and track my scores.

Added this method to my studying:

very effective for me so far. spaced repetition is still king, but this is a nice add-on to keep me on track

Got through the two longest chapters in the book already. Today's chapter had 128 freakin cards I have to memorize! So much info!

Also, I see online that there are starting to offer cyber security internships... going to add an internship "i did" at a company my friend works for on my resume and i'll get cracking tomorrow with applications.

Finished chapter 9 today (did 10 yesterday). So I'm about halfway through the textbook:



I'll be damn proud of myself when I pass this exam. Spaced repetition is saving my ass too. I can't believe I can still recall the answers to the questions I made even from the first five chapters with over 85% accuracy. The real test questions I'm able to answer with about 98% accuracy when reviewing them. What really matters is how accurately I answer them my first time around though (which has been about 70%). I'll start measuring that once I complete the textbook. But hey, I'm planning to learn over 2,000 test questions so there's a good chance some of them will show up on my exam, so that 98% review accuracy will still come in handy!

Regardless, taking practice tests is not just an assessment. And it's not just for memorization incase the questions show up on my exam.
Practice tests = analyzing the question to figure out the answer = reinforcement of concepts = learning method.

Won't lift today. I'll lift tomorrow and saturday.
Chapter 4 was fucking annoying to learn. Bunch of laws and stuff to memorize. Still suck at it, i'll probably bomb the reviews when they come up. Chapter 6 included lots of memorization for bit lengths of encryption keys and block ciphers... i'll memorize that minutiae another time. Chapter 7 I like a lot. I'm about to memorize it and I know it won't be hard.

I'll finish chapter 8 tomorrow...

Fired! Not even mad. Yea i think i might not get unemployment actually, not sure. Ill find out.

Now i can focus on this CISSP exam and apply to jobs like mad. I feel so behind on everything. I'll be waking up at 8:30am every day to go to school and study, apply for jobs, and talk to professors and stuff.

Wish i had taken that internship with my school a couple months ago... But hey maybe something else will come up anyway!

might get fired from work today. wanted to quit ealier this week, this will be even better. Can't take these idiots. i'll make more money working dinner shifts at the restaurant my uncle manages, and it'll leave up day times freed up for interviews.

oh and its off the books so i'll get unemployment on top of that and make more than i do now.

^^ ill check out the github. i have some topics on the CISSP covering software security. only dipped into to it a bit so far. but i learned about architecture diagrams... pretty cool... do a reduction analysis of a system or program (break it down logically to see how data reacts with everything) and draw up an architecture diagram of a small network. label all systems (after their reduction analyses) with version numbers, OSs, apps installed, all that crap, label all connections between them, all protocols used.... and then come up with a list off all threats and vulnerabilities in all systems, applications, and connections.

i'll have a whole couple chapters on application security and i can't wait to get to it. it's towards the end of my textbook though. i suck at programming but i find app security very interesting.

adarqui what do you do for a living? secure coders make a ton of freaking money... i would do that if i were a software engineer. i mean A LOT of money! (ICS)2 CSSLP is a good cert. So is GIAC GSSP.

Still need to make and learn cards for chapter 4 dammit. I'll try to do it tomorrow, and read and learn cards for two chapters tomorrow to catch up a bit. By this weekend I want 14 chapters completed!

My left knee has some more fluid in it now after playing yesterday. Also kinda hurts but that's probably because I banged it twice, not because of the underlying issue I've been going to PT for. I have PT tomorrow morning again.
