I seem to be spending most of my time at the moment reading course material or books, revising for exams, taking exams or generally focusing on professional development. Whilst when I started this it all seemed like a good idea, I do wonder if I'm starting to get a bit lost in it... I mean for example I've still not gotten round to building a template for my own website yet (although I did at least manage to composition it in Illustrator)

Finally, after months and months and months of putting them off, I finally got round to taking my certification exams. Well, I say got round to... more like one was going to expire, and the others I wasn't allowed to reschedule again. I'm happy that in a way I was forced to take them though, as I probably wouldn't have gotten around to it otherwise, plus given my situation at work and the state of the economy it's never a bad thing to have a couple more stars on my job applications.

After many weeks of putting it off since I suggested it to my boss, I finally sorted out the certification I'm going to try for later in the year. It's not everything I want to learn but it's the most important stuff I think towards my career at this stage, plus it's proof I can do what I say I can! One of them's easy but the other two are going to be quite hard, but today I realised that it's not the only problem I've got to conquer before my next step.
