Too fat to run 2.) Makes me jittery, which doesn’t help my twitching problem 3.) Allergic to the sun; skin gets boils if not fully clothed 4.) All the girls think I’m uglay, even the prostitute wouldn’t take my money

here is the classic, makes you laugh every time you read it -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author: ccooper55 Date: Thursday, August 12 @ 1:49 pm This year, level III, NYC I am waiting for the bathroom in this massive line about 10 minutes before the start of the exam. There is this guy panicked out of his mind in line ahead of me who I noticed for the previous half hour had been rocking back and forth in the corner of the lobby murmering his notes back to himself from memory…a real whackjob. Anyway, As I am standing in line with this guy in front of me he starts to sweat profusely and I can litterally hear this guys stomach rumbling…this is where he really freaks out. He starts pounding on the stall doors ( there were only 2) and, of course, no one is coming out so this ass clown drops his pants, hops up on the sink, and blows SH**T all over the sink! The most disgusting thing was the backspray all over this guy! He was COVERED in his own Sh**t. I am laughing my ass off but this guy didnt miss a beat, he rinses off his pants, throws his shirt in the trash and walks into the test wearing only his windbreaker and wet pants. I could hardly stop laughing to myself a full half hour into the test…I knew then I was going to be alright because at least I didn’t just blow ass chunks all over the bathroom…priceless. Author: hughj Date: Thursday, August 12 @ 2:29 pm NYC this summer, I’ squirting lemon in my iced tea (for a little caffeine pick me up) right before I walk in to the exam center. Some of it squirts the wrong way, gets me in right in the eyes and I literally, can’t see a thing. I ask someone to help me get to the bathroom so I can rinse my eyes. I feel around for the sink, run the water and immerse my face in the sink, and to my horror, it’s full of sh**! I scramble to find a paper towel and the bin’s empty! At this point I go rummaging through the garbage in sheer hysterics to find anything to wipe my face, and to my relief I find a discarded shirt. I wipe my face as quickly as possible w/ the shirt, only to find I’m caking on more sh**, and now I can’t see again. I was totally confused until Cooper’s post put the pieces together for me. BTW I think I did ok in the morning session, afternoon was a little tough.

Just remember that when we die, none of these matter… and even if we are living, as long as we have food on the table that is good enough. anti depressant, i can neve comprehend why people would do such a thing. Usually just means they have been spoiled as a kid and never really got the point to life.

I dont knw Spanish either…and btw im a girl…thanks for the thought…laughter is usually the best medicine… I just wish I pass the exam first-time around…only two of my college mates gave the exam…and guess what? they both failed…one of them was a topper at college…Its scary!
most people who fail give this test as much respect as they gave school… not much. school for most is very very easy to pass. but passing this exam is like getting an A+ in a few classes during a year… as in you actually have to try. i may be extrapolating from a small population once again, but i fall in this group. never tried for anything before this exam, but the sheer quantity and no classes or study notes make you bust your a$$. just put in the time, if you’re afraid, put in 300 hrs, and do you best come exam day. if you fail, no biggie, take it again and i bet you’ll have a better shot than the previous year. rinse and repeat. sorry for the gender confusion. i tend to assume all AFers are men. except for KarenC. prrrr.
I have a fully fledged health problem and managed to pass the exams. I had stress during and before each exam (probably after too while waiting and wondering). Stress was a much lower ranking concern for me though it still affected my exams of course. My health problems mean I have a higher incidence of dying on any given day than 99% of the population does. But it is just another factor to deal with. Although it’s what I call a real issue. I hope that gives you a better perspective now. I’m sure there are plenty of others on the boards with similar/bigger issues. If I did it, you can too. Anyway, if you fail, you have another chance. Don’t stress it, just have a plan and follow it. Good luck.
i may get a lot of heat for saying this but if you cant pass L1 with 2 months prep you shouldnt start the CFA program. not because you wont be able to get the CFA charter but because they amount of effort it would take you will have long lasting repercussions for all other aspects of your life. and sumz is a chick. i tell you its always a sunny day when a chick shows up on AF.

does your health problem involve your being 110 years old? I bet those guys have a higher percentage of dying any day… what is your health problem? - heart problem + scary movie fan? - suicidal thoughts + gun collector? - diabetes + love of gummy bears? - severe allergies to peanuts + obsessive love of reese’s peanut butter cups?
