Finally some validation!!
Finally got some validation that the promotion process in my company is working - 3 collegues just got promoted - two who should have been promoted a long time ago, and the other (my former manager) who deserved it more than anyone else I know. Congrats guys!
Moving on to other stuff, I am currently reading "Ultra Marathon Man - Confessions of an all night runner" by Dean Karnazez. Till I picked up this book, I thought the running the 26.2 miles required to complete a full marathon is one of the most grueling tests of human endurance, which is precisely why I wanted to run one myself. Dean Karnazez shattered that notion - by a long way. This book has introduced me to a world where there are people that run more than 350 miles at a stretch , run marathons just to warm up and finally as Karnazes is planning to do from Sept'06 - run 50 marathons in 50 days in all 50 states. Amazing - one can not help but feel inspired by this man's story. I almost felt like going for a long run last night as I was reading this book, and actuall resolved to go running in the morning..
...except I overslept and missed an important meeting in the process!
In terms of wedding prep - I think we are going along fine: we've booked a DJ, spoken to a decorator, will be speaking to another one this weekend, booking hotel rooms in Hawaii. Obviously tons of things to do, but am not feeling stressed at this point.
As far as CFA is concerned, things are reaching a head now - if I dont start studying in earnest now, I will probably not be prepared to take the exam. Whats motivating me even more is that given the roughly 1-2 months it takes for the results to come out, I will probably get the pass/fail decision around the time of my wedding - and definitely dont want a "Fail" to cloud the festivities!!
