Marko, It does feel good, and if I could give one piece of advice to candidates who might be feeling down: DON'T GIVE UP!
After I wrapped up the troubleshooting section, I was convinced that I had failed. I got up, splashed some water on my face, and then remembered what you said about an "expensive lunch" on the AoD. I decided that it would be best to simply put it out of my mind, and press into the configuration. By lunch I had moved into configuring IGPs, but after lunch I hit a few roadblocks. Somehow, I was able to regain momentum and finish up the lab with a little over an hour to spare. After verification, I had about five minutes remaining, at which time I decided that my fate was in the proctor's hands. I gathered up all of my materials, handed everything over to the proctor, and left the lab! If I had given in after the troubleshooting section, then I wouldn't be here today. So, no matter what, if you feel that you failed, keep going! You paid for a full day's lab, may as well have fun with it while you can!
