My progress and how I felt each week

Week 1 I started reading 9tut.com, the best network tutorial.

Week 2 I consistently study every day, even if I only have 30 minutes, following the same discipline I used while preparing for the Security+ exam.

Week 3-4 In the OMSCS Computer Networks course, I learned networking foundations including the OSI 7 layers, the differences between TCP and UDP, DNS, and other core protocols. Most of this was already familiar to me, but revisiting it as a refresher was still helpful.
