Alea iacta est
Posted on Wednesday 3rd June 2009
Unless you have been living in a cave on Mars, with your eyes shut and your fingers in your ears, going “la, la la”, you will be aware that I have been preparing for the JFICM exam later this year. The date is fast approaching and I have little time left to decide whether to commit or not.
Despite fears of being ill-prepared and those gaps in knowledge, I have decided to go ahead. So “the die” is well and truly “cast” and there is no going back. Especially since I had to pony up $3000 for the privilege of sitting this exam. Not wanting this money to go to waste I will obviously give it my all.
It would be nice to think that the pass is assured, but I am being realistic and recognising that failure is always a possibility. Especially since one of my colleagues recently flunked, and he was someone we expected to sail through easily. I have my “Plan B” prepared, but hope not to use it. This is definitely one of those situations where luck only has so much to do with it, and hard work is the only reasonable option.
So, I guess that means I’d better get back to the books!
keep at it! and good luck!
