HELP: What can I do with VisualBasic.NET 2005???!!!!

Hello all,
I have to take a VB.net class this semester and I don't want to waste my cert time (currently studying MS 70-270/290). Is there any certification that I could simultaneous study for that would use VB.net?... the syllabus link is below and the book we are using is:
http://www.amazon.com/Visual-Basic-2005-Program-Deitel/dp/0131869000/sr=11-1/qid=1168994115/ref=sr_11_1/104-3261669-0091928
Syllabus (pages 7-15): http://www.bioinfo.uh.edu/nfofanova/2348SyllabusFall06.doc
Please help, this semester will definitely be getting in the way of my MCSA study time! But I'll just time manage better. Are there any .NET certs or something that I could get after learning a sufficient amount of VB.NET 2005? Please Help!!!

Any area of IT in some way blends over into everything else.

Sorry i didnt realize that you made reference to time being your factor. I really do not know what types of MS development certs there are out there.
In particular, you probably want to start with one of the following two:
- Technology Specialist: .NET Framework 2.0 Web Applications
- Technology Specialist: .NET Framework 2.0 Windows Applications
Which means you would start with this exam:
and then Exam 70-526 for Windows Applications, or Exam 70–528 for Web Applications.
