Default Spring '09 Progress Thread

Exam prep starts today. Here is what I have done so far:

1) started a progress thread
2) started thinking about what it will be like to start studying again

You're crazy. Fall results don't come out for more than a month.

My progress on MLC thus far (assuming I pass MFE):
1) Play Fallout 3
2) Post in MLC progress thread
3) Play more Fallout 3

I'm not going to seriously consider studying for MLC until I know the result of MFE.

I guess I am in the minority. I am on lesson 5 of the ASM. I hope to have skimmed through all the material by mid-january. Then go over the material thoroughly since I have some exposure to the material.

I guess the idea is that, even though the exam is not even on the horizon, we might as well start thinking about it and getting motivated. I have heard different things from different people, but I'm pretty sure this one is a beast. A beast that we all must tame. A taco beast.

JValdez has inspired me to purchase ASM for myself.

I have been taking a class that will help prepare me for MLC. It has been good so far. My plan is to buy TIA online seminars and start studying in either early December or in early January. I can't decide if it's worth studying before the holidays.
