114/366 Days of Growth

Reviewing my notes for the upcoming ISC2 CC Exam last weekend.

It is tomorrow (24.04) ... I am so nervous 🥹

[coffee-dad-studies]

Graduated five days ago, but I guess the grind truly never stops, huh?

Funny story about this certification: one of the big draws of my now-alma mater's IT degree programs is that they include several well-regarded industry certifications that go a long way toward validating practical knowledge, and look good on a resume. Tuition is a flat rate per six-month term, and the costs of these certification exams–and one retake, if necessary–are covered by the university. (Up to five attempts are possible, but any attempt beyond the second comes out of the student's pocket.)

Anyway... this particular one USED TO be part of the program that I just completed. Apparently so many students were failing their first attempt–requiring the school to pay the exam org for the first retake–that they said "you know what, we're gonna make our own in-house exam for this class and if you pass that, we'll GIVE you the option of taking the certification exam (ONCE!) on us."

So now that I'm done, I'm taking that option. (And the in-house exam for this was really easy, at least for me. I took and passed it while taking a break from writing a paper for another class, and never even had to look at the course materials.)

My "wake every working days at 3 am" had a break today as I got sick. My throat is in pain, it was a rough night 🥹

I might be more concerned than I thought with ISC2 CC Exam... Only 15 days left, so I believe my body is manifesting my internal fears.

To pass this exam will be important for my self confidence with Cybersecurity, I have so many dreams, and so many goals... I am trying my best here, I gave myself some deadlines, this exam is one of them.

Well, life goes on! Great week for us all ❤️❤️❤️

I'm at the isc2 conference I just saw a guy visibly and audibly recoil when he heard "vegan wrap".

You know, I've had a couple of haters show up on the post lately claiming that either I'm paying too much attention to mens' sandwich choices or I'm judging people based on their sandwich choices while claiming not to, but I keep getting independent verification of my thesis, which is very heartening. :D

Hey, look who's back. Crazy that it took almost four months to get a resolution (or even a response).

So! Between the day they restricted this blog (12/05/24) and today (03/26/25), I have passed these courses:

systems security

scripting & programming

cloud security management

information security management

cryptography

penetration testing

database foundations

I've earned these certifications:

ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner

CompTIA PenTest+

Thirty-five days or so until the end of my current term, with one course--SQL--and a capstone project to go.

I deleted that financial aid post, as the issue with it is apparently a glitch in the ISC2 website. I would still have to pay the $50 USD membership fee to take the exam, so thank you for the person who donated to help me cover that!
