Where does a DBA go from here?

So, there I am. I've taken the main Oracle courses -- Intro to SQL, DBA
(Oracle 7!), Backup & Recovery, Network Admin, and Perf Tuning. Now where
do I go for more Oracle training?

This is sparked by a recent perceived lag in one of our new databases. We've tracked it down to a possible hot block or two, but I never used X$BH or V$LATCH_CHILDREN in any of my Oracle classes. And I *know* I'm far from being ready for an Internals class. So how do I get from here to there?

education.oracle.com doesn't seem to have a whole lot other than Internals. Or is that where I'm at now?

Confused and no beer.
