I have finished the water book. Next battle is mountains of sand.
You make me jealous although I am getting annoyed today by my inactivity so all I need to do now is turn that into action.
You know we’ll both be all frazzled and trying to catch up right until the last moment mcpass. That is just how we do it. 
And hopefully celebrate together some time in August next year… Oh my god that would be great.
OK - I’ll bite. What in the heck are you talking about?
The nice calming pictures they put on the front of the CFA books. One has water, one has sand, trees, grass, rocks, etc.
It keeps us tempered CFA candidates calm
Better than the postcards I guess.

CFAI want to make their killing impersonal, so they go with nature.
I think that guy staring at me through the Schweser cover has actually helped to keep me focused on the CFAI text thus far. He even pops up on the AF banner from time to time… kind of freaks me out. The CFAI text covers are much less abrasive.
.
I still prefer the current L3 cover model to the previous bookwormish and Peter-Parker-looking males I saw in previous editions. The asian chick of '08 wasn’t a bad idea…

I definitely like this year’s CFA covers… Anyone else notice the similarity between the pebble cover and the iPhone pebble background? Seems to be a popular theme these days. I’m 80 pages into Book 2 myself, but should pick up some ground this week / weekend, as my New Year’s plans are almost as lame as studying. Come to think of it, those ARE my New Year’s plans.
I just want my Asian chick. This Schweser dude is creeping me out.
Very clever thread title, you get a gold star.

Come > to think of it, those ARE my New Year’s plans. How about making wild plans for new year’s eve, hitting it hard until about 1:30 at night, meet a former colleague and discuss CFA topics while staring at chicks on the dance floor. My girl friend now says I’ve gone extremely nerdy and I’m afraid she’s right. Spot on. Some time later this year I hope to have my life back 
**a gong crashes as mwvt9 enters the room** - mwvt9 bows to book 2 and then faces JDV mwvt9: “Master, I have defeated the sandy mountains. I am ready for my next challenge.” JDV: “Then you must battle leafy trees in direct sunlight!” mwvt9: No!!! JDV: “It must be done.” mwvt9: “So be it.” **the gong crashes again as mwvt9 bows to JDV**
