All studied out
Today I sat an exam for a course on Financial Markets and Economics. I had spent my ThoughtWorks training budget on a finance course to increase my domain knowledge. My last three projects have all had something to do with the finance industry, so I thought it would be about time I freshened up on my understanding of securities, derivatives, debt financing, and monetary and fiscal policies. The course was quite demanding, especially since I underestimated how much spare time I actually have outside of office hours. I have therefore decided to ease back on my studies and focus on some chill-out time. I have accomplished a lot this year and I want to recharge the batteries for what will be a big year next year.
