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.

Nice workout. Pull ups felt strong so tried maxing out lol.

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.

Played ball. Playoff game. Went for 25min instead of the 10min I planned since we needed to win. Other team only had 4 players. We still lost lmao, even though we beat them in the regular season and led for the whole game. I kinda played like crap. Fell and banged both my knees on the floor twice. Was too tired to lift properly afterward. Terrible charlie horse in my hamstring later that night... was dehydrated and didn't realize.

Read a chapter but didn't make cards for it yet dammit. Bumping up the test questions learned per day from 20 to 30. It's manageable.

So behind on everything. Missed a workout, and I'm 4 chapters behind on my studying. Terrible sleep lately too.

Today I have a game, and it'll be the first time i've played in about... 6 weeks? Going to test out the knee. Only playing 10 of the 40min. PT has been going well so we'll see how my knee reacts.

didn't get the job :(

was told the department had an excellent response from me but they decided to go with someone who fits the job better

well shit, at least it means i can fake my way to a job with 3+ years experience and i have zero... i've learned enough from my MS degree and these certs that I appear to have a ton of knowledge from experience as well.

Plan to finish chapter 2 today as well.  Making review questions for myself at the end of every chapter. I review these continuosly every day based on spaced repetition. Also learning real test questions from a selection of over 2k. I plan to learn over 2k over the next 70 days. I'll be ramping up the number on cards learned per day from 20 to 50+ after i finish the textbook.

Review questions on chapters only include things I wasn't already comfortable with already. Some of it seems obvious, like the question "what is data privacy?" But it's not so obvious if you knew that there are also the concepts of data concealment, seclusion, confidentiality, in addition to privacy... it's more because I don't know how to specifically differentiate between them.

I will also start writing down how many of the test questions I get correct on first try as I'm learning them. It'll be nice to see an upward trend as I learn more from the textbook. Passing on the real exam is 70%. Hopefully I'll be getting consistent 85% and up on these after I finish the textbook.

Another de-load. Feeling overworked right now and behind on sleep. Gotta read a chapter tonight. I'm typing this at 11:20pm, going to read for about an hour, and wake up at 6:40 for physical therapy :/

Will have a crazy busy weekend too. Can't wait for next week to get here so I can relax and study properly.
