Everybody - What are you going to do to reward yourself after June 2nd?

I wait until the final pass to reward myself.

Hope. It is the quintessential human delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength, and greatest weakness.

I’m going to go out and drink every night for the next week and then start studying for the next exam I have to take… I’ve got my first section of the CPA exam toward the end of July.

Brutal indeed, but I get a $5,000 bonus if I pass all 4 sections by the end of the year, so I have a bit of motivation!

My post-exam reward to myself is going to be exploring other girls.

Quick, someone that still remembers the Quant section tell me the probability this is actually a girl.

Last time I checked I was still a girl.

Getting our attention: YOU’RE DOING IT RIGHT.

As for me, I finished the exams in 2011 and it feels pretty naiiiiiice.  I’m looking forward to a memorial day uninterrupted by panic attacks not spent studying .  Maybe a little beer on the balcony, maybe dinner out with friends.

Will be the 4th year of not studying since I passed. Still plan to do a mini victory dance on Memorial Day weekend. If I’m unfortunate enough to suffer flashbacks of the exam process, will resort to heavy drinking to dull the pain.

Good luck everyone!

Third Memorial day since passed…going to LA that weekend to see some college folk. 

To those studying, keep at it.  It gets better.  I used to be 5’1” riding my bike to burger king and living in my parents basement.  I finished the CFA three years ago and I’m already 6’3” (and growing) driving a Ferrari to my FO gig and live in a multi-million dollar high rise condo.  In ccouple more years it’ll be G6 and private island suckers….and I’ll be 10’10”.

So, in conclusion: it’s worth it.

^ there was a certain simplicity to life when it consisted primarily of working and studying.  I actually did kind of miss it the first spring after passing, but I’ve since completely readjusted to life as an ordinary civilian.  Ironically, I played a lot more golf when I was studying because I needed the stress relief.

Econgirl is my new favorite poster.  I don’t even care what she writes from here on out. 

That being said, I always planned little rewards for myself if I passed.  Never ended up following through on the rewards.  Seemed like there was always another hurdle approaching.

I used to smoke pot and go to class.  

Sneak in ten minutes late with a bullsh*t excuse.  

Slink down low at my desk.  

Pray to god nobody asked me any questions.

I was the best teacher ever.

I actually agree with CSK on this one.

brain_face_wash -  if you were a stock, I’d buy you, because you have a good story.

Hehehe, giggle giggle. I’ve been studying so hard, I owe it to myself right?

^ you don’t see me making posts such as “What kind of mayonnaise is good on a turkey sandwhich?”  or “Which Beatles album is the best?” 

Only then may you question.

higgmond's picture

Black dudes don’t like the Beatles?  Seriously?  That’s just wrong.

BTW, Sgt. Pepper is best Beatles album, followed very closely by Abbey Road.

Not really.  Rock music just doesn’t do it for us.
