Up5
Yeah, this was the reading where I asked Regis for the “Ask an accountant” phone call. Only one that stumped me.
Up4Oh hey, just noticed that this is your second child. So you probably know all of the above.
Up2I have the level I on the vitalsource app on iPad 5 and it crashes with depressing regularity. However, I can add 40 minutes of study time on my morning commute. However for real studying I will get the hard copy books.
Up2Interesting breakdown, from what I can tell it’s women saying to go for it, while men are generally counselling to postpone. Any gender studies majors lurking here?
Up1Having just been through a birth(she’s six weeks today), it can do number on your body. My wife was not back to normal until a good 4 weeks after the delivery. At this time there are so many unknowns, will you have to be induced, need an epidural, c-section etc.. what if the baby is overdue and you go into labour in the exam… Now that would be a story.. (The proctor became a dr, and she delivered the baby with the exam booklet)
For your pregnancy, You may have morning sickness, food aversion,and lousy sleeps, and general tiredness not to mention all the medical checkups, hypertension, diabetes, and general baby prep from nesting to painting to how to pay for all of it if you live in the good ol youessofeh. Then there are issues that require bed rest,
Good solid Breastfeeding doesn’t usually kick in until a few weeks after delivery assuming your milk comes in as planned. Before that there are a lot frustrating feedings where you nor the baby can quite get it work.,If you bottle feed your partner can take over for the first few weeks but that would be a huge sacrifice, and it is a HUGE task regardless of who does it. Sleep deprivation is a form torture, and it does add up.
So you’ve had a trouble free pregnancy, short labour, delivered naturally, baby was on schedule, has a nice high apgar score, and sleeps like rip vanwinkle, your partner has agreed to feed the baby, and let you get on and get some sleep, but you’re now wracked with depression and guilt as your body flushes all the pregnancy hormones that have built up over the last nine months. Post partum depression is real and debilitating, but luckily lasts only a few weeks.
And I know it shouldn’t matter, but you will get a lot of funny looks if you tell people you’re taking the exam. As a society we are hardwired into certain beliefs about child rearing, and a mother who essentially not there for the first two weeks will send some people over the edge.
Now having said all of the above, I think it could be done, but I wanted to lay out a real assessment of what the first few weeks after are like.
Up1Yeah, I’m just using the CFA books as well. Lots of material to keep me busy.
Up0Yeah, I’m starting now, for June as well. Got no choice, I’ve a five week old little girl on my lap as I write. I’ll need a few extra weeks as she takes up a fair chunk of my day.
Up0Heh. If someone deletes your bit coin wallet, that’s it no redress. The FBI is currently sitting on the dread pirates roberts bitcoin wallet. With one swoop they can wipe out 5% of all bitcoins, and there is no way to regenerate them. It doesn’t take too many of those before your digital currency becomes illiquid due to lack of currency.
