Hahaha, oops, got a little excited there Turk. Just call me the THREAD ENDER, ha! I needed a brief escape this afternoon…was up all night getting ready for my operators’ earnings calls today. It’s been a complete clusterf*ck!
Montreal can do that to a guy…I completely understand.
LOL…nice. good to hear from you again zimzim – haven’t seen you around here in a while. wish we could have connected over labor day weekend, but there’s always another time. drop me a line sometime and let me know how things have been going for you…would be happy to talk about research/IB if you still have questions anyway, it sounds like the next time i go up to montreal, i might have to leave the girlfriend behind in order to take on the whole canadian experience…
Yes Numi…and perhaps Turk and I will fly in and meet you to show you around. F1 weekend in June, perhaps? My buddy used to be at McGill and would tell me EPIC stories about what goes on during this week every year. Also, totally sorry we didn’t connect in TO. Hope you and the lady had fun up there. They lost my luggage on my flight up from CHI, so my first night/day in town, it was a clusterf*ck…but I still managed to party. What did you NYC’ers get up to while you were there? Anyways, I would definitely still like to talk to you about ER. I’ll try and shoot you an e-mail this weekend. Hope all is well with you. We’ll show you our fine country one of these days.
I’m down for F1 weekend…
Zim, are you still in the Regina area?

So all I need, is to become friends with a Jager rep, and we’re set.

Have you been back up to my fine province recently? We need to get you out partying sometime! How’ve you been?
Dude, can you imagine the two (four) of us walking around MTL with the ladies? We would be human Jager wrecking bombs! I’m already scheming.
Ha! That’s right… I forgot you’re down here now. No, unfortunately I haven’t been up to Canada this year, and I’m not sure when my next trip will be. I was up frequently for awhile. Hopefully again soon…

Yeah, we need to meet up sometime. We’ll raise a drink to the soaring Loonie. Who woulda thought?
Walking Jager-bombs…now you’re talking my language. First annual AF at FI June 2008…like it.
Sounds like a nice post-exam stress reliever weekend. Hahahah, the AF Weekender, MTL '08; hosted by Zim Zimma and Turkish. I wonder if we can get some sponsorship?
I’m sure you could find a good sponsor at the AA meeting on the corner of Huron and St. Clair.
nice rip mcthorp.
Although you definitely want to enjoy your undergraduate years and not spend every weekend in the the library, having level I under your belt would be nothing but a benefit. You might want to look into whether or not your university or local CFA society have some sort of scholarship/assistance program with level I. Fortunately, I got to take level I for free due to a combined local society/university scholarship. Also, Schweser has a program where you can get the study notes and question bank access for $100 for level I if you are in the university scholarship program. (or at least they did last june) It might be worth looking into.
Don’t waste your time studying for level I while your in school. Use your time in school studying for… What was it, again? Oh, yeah - school. Were you to use the 250 hours of estimated CFA study time for school studies, I would imagine you would actually get straight A’s, or come very close. Were you to use those 250 hours to study the CFA material, then I would imagine that you would find it difficult to complete your studies for school and you would have a complete lack of social sophistication found only through heavy drinking, bong use and porn watching (which you would have no time for, either).
Thanks fo rthe advice!
