CCNA progress

Last year I tried to get back into studying for my CCNA again but I was side tracked.  I kept my notes in FreeMind and I decided to pick up where I left off.  I am following the plan recommended in the CCNA Official Exam Certification Library (3rd edition).  That method includes bouncing between the ICND1 and ICND2 books but following major topics in order.  I completed 6 chapters before I got derailed last year so I skimmed chapters 7 and 8 this evening.  So far everything is very basic but I am taking occasional notes on those things that are good to memorize that you don't necessarily remember unless you are preparing for a certification.
