Level 3 study materials, boy I live dangerously

A person needs new experiences. They jar something deep inside, allowing him to grow. Without change something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.

Ha, my post was a complete Joke.  I never want to read another finance book again if I pass. There will be no continuing ed for this guy!

Not sure.  Either way I will be at work.  I imagine I will bang the desk and shout “Yes” or “Damn.”  I will be worthless the rest of the day at work.  My gym is close by, I told my boss I am going after I get my result as it will be the best idea….

memorial day on a beach, and NOT studying.

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

For passing level 2 I bought a new TV (was gonna do it either way though and it was only $900). But I get a few grand bonus @ each level, so it didnt cost me anything in terms of my ordinary reoccuring income.

Im not sure if I’ll do anything for lvl 3, maybe a nice dinner.

The more I take these exams, the less valueable I think they are, so I dont feel they’re all that worthy of a reward.

probably add another firearm to my collection lol. big firearms guy. might do a sig sauer P226 as i already have it’s younger baby brother the sig sauer mosquito :) 

but then again, I’ve always been wanting to suppress something so I might apply for my class 3 firearm license and silence the mosquito…ought to be a nice treat to myself if i pass the CFA level 1 :)

bandscore 10 is like being in the special Olympics...you don't know whether to feel proud or ashamed :(

I can only hope: sit in the back yard with huge T-bones on the BBQ, jar of dill pickles, full bottle of 25 y/o single malt and at least one huge Cuban cigar (been saving them). This is heaven for me.

sooraj's picture

@Leroy2, not a bad way to celebrate at all :)

@chaingangritesh - Hmm, cool!

@Long Journey, thats classical way to celebrate man :) 

All the best and lets all hope we can celebrate!

Best regards,

Sooraj.

I’ve wanted a pair of these since I grew up watching excellence in motion.  Seems fitting after passing this test.

Honestly, I’ve gained a few pounds sitting in coffee shops drinking caffine, so this would motivate shedding those study pounds.
