No more Econ, no more Econ

God I hate this topic. I don't think I've ever been as frustrated as I was going thru the quizzing on this tonight. This material is a whole college semester or three crammed into a week and then you throw the currency stuff on top of it which is just SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO counterintuitive my brain is just throbbing right now.


Cross currency quotes with the bid ask involved was just the most painful thing I've ever done. Trying to get the currency algebra down was tough. I'm praying starting tonight that's not on the exam and they cover interest rate or purchasing parity.


I started to get into a groove towards the end but man, this was painful!!! To really grab this material I'd probably need another few days to concentrate on it, but it's not worth it considering there's only going to be on item set on it. I know my weak areas which I'll focus on come review time but I need to put this down for a while and go back to Quant before moving on to FSA.


A quick workout then off to bed...
