So after a week of relaxing and catching up with friends, I am feeling seriously bored now!
I do have a few books lined up for reading but I really don't feel like looking at any books as of now. And im still too fatigued to get sporty.
Suggestions to pass time?作者: former 时间: 2011-7-23 04:29

do you have any friends?
(p.s. if, like me, you don't you might just have to keep on studying)

It usually happens, I also find my self often in a similar situation, so what do i do? i turn on some music while working, crack some jokes with some of my colleagues, Take a bit longer tea and lunch break and eagerly wait 5PM for freedom! people sometimes think i am crazy, but thats the way i keep myself alive in all this data, data, data and data stuff 作者: tikfed 时间: 2011-7-23 05:29

Well, I did say 'catching up with friends'. But I am pretty much done with it.At the most I can see my friends is once a week. What do I do rest of the week?作者: tango_gs 时间: 2011-7-23 05:44

Same here!!!!! I wanted to change or simply quit my job. But too much free time is not an appealing idea especially when post-cfa I don't have much to do.作者: adehbone 时间: 2011-7-23 05:59
If I had time, I would learn some financial programming with languages like Excel or Java-based languages that are used in simulation, modeling, analysis, etc. These are good to know and will help you at personal and professional levels. My $0.02.作者: Viceroy 时间: 2011-7-23 06:29
Sports, charity, language course, clubs, dancing school, dating, pets, computer games, movies, events (conferences, charity galas, countryside barbecues, etc.), excursions, museums, weekend traveling, concerts, theatre, learning musical instrument, magic shows, festivals, cooking Indian or Thai or whatever by recipe, wine tasting, afterwork parties, etc. etc.作者: zephyranalyst 时间: 2011-7-23 06:44
You might want to join some crazy event, like I saw today in Madrid, a group riding bicycles completely naked. I am sure that's a lot of adrenalin, although that's definitely not my type of entertainment作者: therecruit 时间: 2011-7-23 06:59
haha, thanks!!
My job is highly measureable and think I'd better work hard no matter what.作者: dandman 时间: 2011-7-23 07:14

Can you please share the name of the novel if you are liking it?作者: Iginla2011 时间: 2011-7-23 07:29
Things I did to relieve my boredom:
1) Get a demanding job
2) Do a part time MBA
3) Get married
4) Write the CFA
At the same time
Follow the above steps and the heart attack you will get will be GUARANTEED to take away your boredom!作者: NakedPuts2011 时间: 2011-7-23 07:44

Same problem here. But start gaining back momentum. Any suggestion on how to retain the passion?作者: cityboy 时间: 2011-7-23 07:59

Nice list...add toast masters, which is a free local group for improving one's public speaking skills.作者: JonnyKay 时间: 2011-7-23 08:29
Summer hobbies by free time consumption
45% warcraft 3 (not world of warcraft cuz i hear it's like crack)
30% weight lifting
20% skateboarding (only on weekends)
5% soccer (maybe once every 2 weeks)
I also have a girlfriend, but I consider that part of relationship obligation (even though I enjoy my time with her obviously). I also joined a company soccer team and will do that once
Get fit and you'll feel better. You will need to eat and sleep more if you get active, so that will also use more of your time.作者: Rasec 时间: 2011-7-23 08:44
Agree with guy above. GET IN SHAPE. Make it so you can run 5-6 miles no problem (or run a half-marathon) and bench press your own weight. That takes energy & effort to get to that point, unless you are already a stud.
If not, you probably won't get there before the exam results come out, at which point you'll have an answer on what level to do next.
"And im still too fatigued to get sporty."
C'mon dude. Man up. The test ended a week ago.
