The pace at school is picking up. I have homework due next Monday and a midterm next Thursday. I went to bed at 10:15pm but woke up at 2:30am, so decided to work on my homework.
It is getting close to 4am so I probably should try to go back to sleep as I have a busy day ahead...2 classes, study session with my 'team' of 5 fellow students and Investment Management club kick-off meeting.
There is also a 'meeting' at 8pm at the local pub to hear from fellow students about their experiences in I-banking, but I probably won't attend.
Sorry for the dry blog but I had to mix it up (most of my past blogs were filled with my little excursions in and around London)...don't worry the next blog will have some pics of my trip to Bath this past weekend.

Degree-catchers
Some people think I have too many degrees...maybe I do, but my Professor has me beat. My Investments Professor has a BS, MS, MBA, MiF and PhD.
Then a few of my classmates are just as bad, or good depending on your point of view...Quite a few like me already have MBAs. But 2 students stand out so far, one already has a MiF degree from Korea and another classmate has a PhD in Aerospace Engineering. There are probably other 'degree-catchers' that I haven't met yet.

1st week of classes
I started school this week and it has been very hectic...but in a good way. This week I have gone to school around 7-8am and have stayed for about 12 hours. Right now class is only a small part of the day. Most of the time is spent on career training and orientation. It is a lot more intense than at UC Davis (no surprise).
The good thing is that Career Services is taken extremely seriously. When the head of career services asked her team to stand up and introduce themselves, the whole class burst out in shock and laughter as 20-25 people stood up. There are four finance specialists in career services and one of the ladies worked as a VP for Goldman Sachs!
I have my CAIA exam next Thursday so I have been busy trying to squeeze that into all the other activities going on. I am in good shape for the exam and just want to get it over with.
