I seriously hate working. I want more to life than a freaking investment bank (or the lack thereof). I'm at a great company, make great money, share a decent apartment and I want more. I want to be challenged...work is so, so boring. I know I have to put in my time to climb the corporate ladder, but it's like - do I really want to sacrifice the ( Read more... )

So it's been roughly a week since I finished Level 3. I sincerely hope I passed, but it's out of my control until August 18th. I've really been enjoying my post CFA life. I won a poker tournament on Tuesday ($600 bucks!) and ran a 5K on Wednesday...and had a pretty good time at my friend's barbecue yesterday. Pretty much drank constantly from 2 ( Read more... )

Confidence is a very transient thing and it's something I've repeatedly struggled with over the years. I've made conscious efforts to eradicate the feeling of self-doubt by accomplishing everything and anything I've set my mind to - and yet, it doesn't feel like enough.

I don't even know where to start. I don't know how things deteriorated with this roommate, but I don't even care to talk to him at this point. He's clearly agitated with me about something and he won't tell me, so fuck him. Fuck it all. I'm actually bothered by this shit because I don't think I did anything! I'm in such a bad mood right now. ( Read more... )

I'm just really trying to figure out the next moves I want to make. After the test, I plan to do the charity initiative and study Japanese...and just read more ( Read more... )

Go Binghamton! We made the finals of the America East tournament, with a shot to get into NCAA March madness! Binghamton was excellent to me, and for me. I wish them nothing but the best. I went up with Graham, Ken, Jared (and met Rosen) up there. It was great - a great atmosphere, just a euphoric vibe and situation. I was glad Ken got to ( Read more... )

I can't believe I've been posting in this since 2001! It's crazy, almost a decade! While I can't look back on what I used to obsess over when I was 15 without cringing, I can't believe I'm 23! Anyway, 2009 is my year of change. I've already started on a lot of my goals and really, I feel as if the sky's the limit, even if we're in a crippling ( Read more... )

I can't let myself be vulnerable and yet, she's the one and I know it.
