    Today the stress has really set in, and I am freaking out. I have 3 weeks to finish 1/2 of my Wiley REG to sit before the end of this window, and busy season is kicking in gear with 50 hour week minimum. So, I was wondering what everyone does to manage their stress level. I will probably partake in a little bourbon this evening. What about you?

    Every little bit helps. It sounds like you've laid out a nice plan for yourself, so you should feel some relief in that sense. My only suggestion, it looks like you're either planning FAR for May or July, shoot for May, if you fail take it again in July. I studied best when I felt the pressure of an exam coming. So I never left a window idle and I took at least two exams (sometimes 3) per window.

    I plan to master 3 chapters of FAR between March 1 and April 15. Then really hit the books to take FAR in May, and hopefully be done. Still, my stress level is high with or without a plan. After passing, I will start my goal of running a marathon to get back to where I want to be.

    Does anyone ever think they see the Ninja above the “Reply” box blink?

    I eat candy and drink wine.

    It's possible that running marathons works too, but I can only attest to the candy and booze route.

    To sum up everyone's posts, so far we have alcohol (multiple votes), exercise (close second), and apparently, sex got one vote. I wouldn't advise you to try all three at once. That could lead to disaster! Bwahahahahaha

    Sex got two votes….its the ultimate stress reliever!! And it encompasses everything cardio, leaves you feeling drunk or high depending on the person, a bit drained and then you pass out which equals no stress! And it's FREEEEE! (hopefully)
