I'm an ISC2 Member now.

 I took and passed my test on the same day (July 15) and received my certificate the next day. 50$ a year isn't that bad especially since the program makes you get CPE (continue education) to keep your certificates. I like this approach because I feel like many people earn certs and when they don't get a job they just let it sit there and they are not doing anything to level up or keep up with the trend.

This makes me wanna attend webinars and read articles to get my 15 CPEs a year. I know its more when you get your CISSP but hopefully at that time I'll be ready to contribute to the world out there.

Anyways this is nice because now it's one less class for me and I'm feeling more accomplished than I ever been when I started on this security journey a few years ago. It's time to keep going.

I'll be working on my own personal projects once I get a new computer. (A dedicated computer to work on stuff).

See you soon.

I'm a graduate student now.. I think

 When I think of Graduate students I think of those who is working on their masters/Ph.D but at a brick and mortar school where they get a stipend and all that. (I might be misremembering). But I'm officially been admitted to WGU's Master Program for Cybersecurity and Information Assurance. (referring to this program as MSCSIA from now on).

And I'm pretty excited!

I have my (ISC)2 CC exam scheduled for next week and if I pass I hope I can use that to take one less class which means one less exam so I can finish way earlier.

I been watching videos and tips on the program and I think I will approach the Pentest+ stuff first as I'm not into the Pentesting realm but more towards the fundamental/analytical side of things. After the Pentest+ exam (and hopefully pass). I will focus on CySa+ and all the other paper essays I will have to do and finish off with the Capstone hoping to start that 2 months before my term ends so I have some extra time to relax and research.

I'm starting September 1st. 

I'm hoping to blog or maybe vlog about my journey but those whose been keeping up with me, thanks.

See ya soon.
