....I got up and got two fo my three children ready for school. After an hour commute, I spent eight hours studying for the futures and commodities exam. I then walked to my previous place of employment to keep a promise to a previous client of mine. I then caught the train to the test site when I sat for three hours taking one of the hardest exams I have ever taken. After two previous attempts, I am finally a Registered Commodities Representative. I feel like someone beat the hell out of me but I am so happy I can could cry.

I now hold:

Series 3-Registered Commodities Representative
Series 4-Options Principal
Series 7-General securities Representative
Series 24-General Securities Principal
Series 27-Financial and Operations Principal

I wanted to thank all my Org friends and family who kept me encouraged even though on yesterday I was screaming I couldn't do this. Thanks to LordEvil, Illustrator, 9s and Anxy who kept me laughing during my study breaks.

I am proud of you lady!

muthafuckin WOOT, woman!!!! congratulations, ivy!!!!!

Thank you both.

Now I'll see if I get the Vice President title I took the test for.

Right on. I know you were studying very hard and I'm glad that your hard work paid off.

All those tests sound very difficult and impressive, although I have no idea what they all mean, congrats nonetheless!

Oh my god.

You are seriously ambition and heroism personified, lady.

I feel honored to know you. You're incredible and deserve this feeling of accomplishment. In other words, YOU'RE HOT.

Stacks upon heaps upon piles of admiration for you, sis. You rock.

I have no idea what any of those things actually MEAN, but they sound like words that make you money, so that's GREAT!

I don't know how the hell you study 8 hours for an exam. How did your brain not liquify?

Anyway:

8 hours....damn....that would have driven me

Congrats!!

Not that I doubted your chances for a moment, mind you.

Ummm...why does my name come AFTER Illustrator's??

If you have your money tied up in the stock market, you want me on your side. And yeah, I am extremely tired but I am so happy. I have never failed a test twice before so I was kinda discouraged but sometimes, you gotta dust yourself off and get back on the horse.

The biggest advice I have for anyone: Learn how to trade yourself so you don't make some stockbroker rich.

I'm very happy for you Ivy....
