So...I guess I should do it?

Calling out to all my fallen brothers & sisters…3L, Pink, Turk, Casp, Lady H, Lisa Marie… I guess I should finally take the plunge today and register/order my books so I don’t get shafted with the increase in two days, right? I feel it might help my studying to where I’m actually studying the relevant material for THIS YEAR, since, thanks to some info provided by Lisa M, I’ve been re-reading/studying stuff from Schweser '07 that’s not even in the curriculum this year. AWESOME! How’s the studying with you guys coming? I basically get nothing done during the week and my weekend jaunts to the library are proving not entirely productive. I guess now it’s time to switch this biatch into high gear; no more excuses for me. I will be hosting a kick-off drunken fest this weekend if any of you are around. Location TBD. That is all/.

You are in good company ma fren… http://www.analystforum.com/phorums/read.php?12,660410 I JUST started and still unsure how to attack this shiz… For now reading CFAi texts and then will use Schweser and PRO to reinforce…I just started a new job last week…this won’t be pretty. We have a good group though…we should be able to tap this exam like a hooker on prom night.

Guys, I am in the same boat…started on Monday with Quant and have finished reading through schweser quant (only using schweser unless I am not understanding a topic form schweser like the god damn time series analysis stuff which was just one long blur for me when I read it the other night). I going to tackle this mothe full force on the weekends and try to get through all the schweser readings by mid april, leaving me one month for schweser pro and two weeks for practice exams. Good luck to all and let’s kill this bad boy.

I tried to start Sunday, but after 11 JD shots between 2am-4am Sunday morning and having no idea how I got home, I made it through 6 pages of FSA Sunday afternoon and went back to bed. I still think it was worth it. Good to have you on board, Zim. I feel like this is our year…or whatever.

Jump in, zim. The water is not that bad. A few new topics, but a lot of old stuff that will come back to you. Three and a half months. Plenty of time to nail this stuff down.

I was banking that some material came back to me… i dont even remember reading some of this stuff. Not good.

Not too late Zim- I remember all that bs at work last year- hopefully your schedule will be better going into the exam. It is DEFINITELY easier studying it a second time, but for me it is really the same experience of alternating between hope and despair- got to keep an even keel…

Zim ~ Registering for the LII exam is officially the new black. Everyone is doing it :slight_smile: “I basically get nothing done during the week and my weekend jaunts to the library are proving not entirely productive.” What’s this? I thought you had mad speed reading skills… :slight_smile: Maybe if you gave up your multiple philanthropic endeavors, you could make the time? :):slight_smile: TTYL

“> We have a good group though…we should be able to tap this exam like a hooker on prom night.” If only I knew at 18 what I know now…could have made that night soooo much easier…and sophisticated for that matter.

Next thing I know, you’re gonna be telling me Thursdays are the new Fridays and pork is the OTHER white meat. As for my “philanthropic endeavors”…you’re right, I might have to ease up on feeding the homeless and being a cog in the Obama-rama machine. Now if you can just help me fine-tune my idea that I told you about at lunch…:wink: Looking to get into the new curriculum BIG-TIME this weekend. Thanks to all the usual suspects for the support!

Registered 5 seconds ago. I’ve done economics and that’s it (schweser). When the cfa texts get here they’ll be the most expensive tp I’ve ever bought. Hopefully they last around 3 and a half months… Good luck all.

Here we go again. Its going to be a long strange trip. And the destination is sure to suck.

Holy hell…the CFAI books just arrived at my office today and were sitting all nice and pretty on my desk when I got back from lunch. Too bad the effing box is 30lbs of dead weight. I can’t believe the day is finally here that I have to fully dive back into this shite…life is over for the next 3.5, my friends. Turk, you would’ve been proud of me…after not having touched the sauce once in '08, I’ve been black-out slammered the past two weekends and just about got beaten by a cabbie cuz he didn’t want to accept my credit card to pay for the fare. Good thing I cracked his driver seat back window in with a roundhouse.

The box of books finally made the trip home from my office last Friday, opened the box Saturday morning, pulled out FSA…opened it, put it on my bed and promptly headed to Fallsview Casino in Niagara.

Good > thing I cracked his driver seat back window in > with a roundhouse. Well last Saturday I met up with this cute admin from my office at a bar. I asked her if she wanted to hang out at my place, yada yada yada, work is awkward this week. Top that ZimZim!!!

Last Saturday, I slipped into my new VS velvet slip, pour myself a glass of wine, put on some Frank Sinatra, and studied some Pension accounting. Depressing.

My kind of gal…Houston is.
