So guess what...I did not Master the Mainframe. That contest was murder!!! I was doing pretty good until I reached the C programming in Task 9 of Part 2. After that it was horrible!! Thankfully, I have some really great classmates. Some of the students who understood how to do it didn't mind helping others so it all worked out.
As far as how I feel about the contest...I think it was pretty cool. It was just a lot of pressure since my instructor used it as our actual homework assignments. Which were the only assignments we had. Now do you understand why my stress level was so high!!??
So no, I'm not a Master Mainframer, but I did win a t-shirt (haven't received it yet), will get a good grade in the class, and I'm actually still interested in the Mainframe. Surprise Surprise!!! I think I need to work on learning C code and Java though. Problem is, I hate programming. I think I will research the different types of mainframe positions out there.
Oh yeah, I will not be doing Part 3 of the competition.
