the first quarter of 2009 was basically a big blurrr.  i don’t see much purpose in trying to remember everything that’s happened… so i’ll just continue to log my blog going forward with the exception of a short paragraph of my past few months.  

i basically hid… and i shut down everything else so that i could concentrate on studying for the CFP(R) exam.  i was thinking about studying… thinking that i should be studying… thinking about where i should be studying… thinking what topics i should be studying… it was not pretty.  hiding was no fun, so let’s hope i don’t have to do it again.  

i was also sick… probably 1 out of every .8 days to start 2009.  how’s that possible? it’s simple… before i got over my the first cold, a second cold would already be infecting my system; i’m pretty sure i had multiple sicknesses at once.  it was quite terrible, frustrating, and stupid.  

i was happy and felt rejuvenated after the exam, only to get food poisoning a day after i got back!  i’m still feeling the ill effects of one of the worst sicknesses i’ve ever had… and only hope i’ll never have to deal with this again.

although i continued to hide the week before the exam, it was nice to be back in LA where i need not worry about anything else but studying.  another benefit of being home was eating home cooked meals everyday, something i feel like i haven’t experienced since… maybe middle school.  going home for a week before the exam was the smartest decision i’ve made so far this year… all i can say is i’m glad this quarter is over and that i’m moving on ^^.
