Sunday of my Life

As far as my brain is concerned there is no such thing as six in the morning. I laid out carefully, last night, everything I would need to take with me today. Keys. Wallet. Watch. Credit card (not mine). Noterised letter stating that I’m allowed to use the aforementioned credit card. Study-guide to read on the train (again). Cisco Academy connection ID. CCNA 640-801 voucher number… all nise and neat and in order. Perfect for the sleepy mind to just grab and go

Well, not quite.

I got onto the train at 7:10AM, sat down, and started reading, going over points, trying to memorise what I can (and I should have learnt my lesson by now, studying on the day never helps me at all. I tend to start forgetting things, then). I never suspected, not thorguh the hour long trip up to Caulfield, nor through the 15 minute wait for the next Frankston train, or even through the 40 minute trip down to Frankston. I had left two crucial things at home. My academy connection ID, and my CCNA voucher number. Without these I can’t take the exam or, even if I could, get my discount.

Luckily they let me call home, and I woke up Erin, who told me what I needed to know, and so I could take the exam at a 50% discount. So, crisis solved. And I’m drained, completely, now. I barely slept last night, on the go since early in the morning, and it’s nearly 4PM now.

Addendum: Oh, and I passed by the way. Just barely. I needed 849 out of 1000, and I got 857. But I passed. I told you my brain was asleep!
