PMP exam, here I come

I'm up to a 90% on the practice exams, and I've read as much as I physically could tolerate; I'm as ready as I'm going to be.

I'm encouraged that the one of my friends from the course passed his exam on Saturday (amazingly, he's already in the register of recognized PMP's). It's rated as a tough exam, but I learned this afternoon that some 475,000 people have already made the grade so it's obviously not what you'd call exclusive. And given that I started from scratch 3½ months ago. Not exactly a medical doctorate.

rand()m quote

If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it. A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.

—Roald Dahl
