Taking a break from certs.
Until the summer at least. Not only do I feel like I can't devote enough time at the moment, but I've been pursuing them for a year now, along with work and school, and I need a break.
I've been researching and I plan to explore Network Security in depth until around August or so, when I'll resume and begin studying for my MCSA.
I plan to start out with Mitnick's "The Art of Deception" and Jon Erickson's "Hacking: The Art of Exploitation." Both of which I think will give me a fairly good introduction into network security, at which point I may change my mind and pursue more security related certs.

Take a break man, you need it. And while you're at it (deception and exploitation that is
) , get yourself the Promethues Deception by Robert Ludlum. Exquisite as a lily, illustrious as a full moon,
Magnanimous as the ocean, persistent as time.
