Happy Thoughts: Post-CFA® Plans

Hey,

What are you other CFA® prisoners planning on doing after June 4th? I just finished going through Books 1-3 for the second time, and want to dream big.

  1. Drink myself blind.
  2. Have hot dates with actual people.
  3. Hang out with whatever friends I have left.
  4. Attend a wedding. Bust out some moves.
  5. Get involved in a few fundraisers.
  6. Marathon "Band of Brothers", "The Wire" and "Damages".
  7. Vacation to Mongolia. Live in a yurt and eat goat on a stick.
  8. Hit the gym, lose those 10 pounds I've been meaning to.
  9. Read actual books.
  10. Drink myself blind.
 

Going to a wedding right after the test, going to combine #s 1-4 all at once.

There have been many great comebacks throughout history. Jesus was dead but then came back as an all-powerful God-Zombie.
