Time to update this blog, I think. Autumn hit all at once this morning, in a heavy clap of rain and chilliness, showing that God does indeed have a sense of humor. I definitely feel more "ready" for this autumn than I ever have felt for an autumn before. That's the way it should be, I think. I resisted the temptation to stay home from CrossFit even though it was, like, chilly, and rainy and ugly, you know? One of my written goals from therapy this summer was the resolution to specifically continue going to CrossFit even when it's cold and nasty outside, and I'm very proud of myself for continuing to keep that up. Next Friday will basically mark my third month of continuing to go CrossFit consistently. Next Friday is also the day that autumn officially begins.
My goals for this season: hmm, what do I want my autumn to look like? I want my fall to be a time of consistency. Growth, and progress, yes, but also a time of consistency. Because I'm honestly doing a good job of keeping up with my short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals right now. All I need to do, really, is keep it up. Mid-October will be a kind of big "deep exhale" moment. That's when I'll have finished my on-campus residency and paid off my fall semester tuition in full. Specifically by October 20, I think.
November and December will be spent studying for my DELF or DALF (I found a placement test that I need to take) more aggressively, as well as picking up the pace in studying for my CFA exam. I've spent a lot of time talking to mentors in the industry, and I have a much clearer understanding of the difference between portfolio management, wealth management, and investment banking. I need to decide exactly where I want to go, what path I want to end up in, etc., and then start pursuing that.
