## Monthly Update December 18

Completed Monthly Knowledge Assessment - Click to see the spreadsheet

I got to mark up most of the RIP and EIGRP bullets.  The IPv6 stuff is going to come a little later in my plan.

Missed a day in there and you can see I didn't really add anything over the last 3 days, but at least I kept up with the reviews :)

Still 60 more unseen cards left on EIGRP, so hopefully I can get the new emulator lab-ready tomorrow.  Either way I'll have some labs to catch up on tomorrow after spending all day today failing :(
