TEST DAY! CCNA/CCDA/CCDP/CCNP renewal, Fort Lauderdale FL, Day 7

Hey All...

JOY!  I got a 974 out of 1000.  Unfortunately, not the best score in the class

Had an interesting evening last night during the study time.

I finally had it.  I have been here for 7 days now and not a single piece of fruit.  What's up with that?!  Florida and no fruit?  So I went to the store and bought the biggest platter of fruit they had.  I at about 1/3 of it last night.  I figured I was going to pay for it later, but for now, it was good.  There was all kinds of fruit on it, and some things that I never had before.....

So a little after 1 am I woke up and had to use the bathroom.  My eyes were exceptionally puffy and felt sore as I made my way into the bathroom.  I turned on the light and turned it right back off because the light hurt my eyes.  I was itchy all over.  Thank goodness I packed one of my back scratchers.  (BTW, peeing in the dark, standing up....never a good idea in a bathroom.)

I began to realize something was wrong.  I turned on the lights and pried open my eyes to see a more horrible site than usual.  My entire face was swollen as if I was just fighting Mike Tyson, my entire body was covered in blotchy red dots, and I was itching all over the place.  You guessed it, some sort of allergic reaction to something.

I stumble down stairs and ran into one of my classmates who promptly asked "What the H311 happened to you?!"  He gave me a ride to the pharmacy, where, upon my entrance the lady took one look at me and said "Isle 1".  I got some benadryl and within 30 minutes I was much better.  I stayed up since then and just did some studying and went to school.  I am a bit groggy and will probably sleep when I go back to the hotel.

So, to recap the week, I got scared with alligators, had some sort of bug, had an allergic reaction, no fruit, little sleep, passed a test.  And now...repeat!  :)
