   I'm the same way.  Had to do all the book work for class, but I really   
   learned doing everything in the hands-on labs in school and then going home   
   and trying it all again there either via packet tracer or some cheap stuff I   
   got on ebay or kijiji.

   Yup, some of the most frustrating and rewarding moments is when everything   
   "should" work but doesn't & then you figure out why it didn't.

   I'm picturing John Locke in Lost yelling at people:  "Don't tell me what I   
   can't do!"
