The FUN ends soon....
Today I registered for the first level of the Chartered Financial Analyst exam. The test is on December 1st and between now and then I will need to study at least 15hours a week to pass. I've already failed once (back in June 04) and I remember how un-fun the studying is. My company is now willing to pay for weekly study session, hopefully they will be a lot of help. Classes start in mid-July, so I need to squeeze in all the fun while I still can.
Unfortunately, early December isn't when the pain ends. The level 2 exam is the first Saturday in June, so I will have to start studying again right after New Years. Hopefully, I'm sitting for level 2 in June and not retaking Level 1.
Update: Only going to refer to this as "the exam" going forward to keep myself out of trouble.... You can never be too careful in this very internet-savy world we live in... wouldn't want something inadvertantly coming back to bite me in the ass.
