    So! We can’t go through all this crap without having a list of things that you want to do or buy once you pass. What’s your self reward list? Here’s mine:

    1. Go on a cruise – pamper time!

    2. Buy a PS Vita – Once my test is done, I’ll have time for such things again!

    3. Buy a kindle fire – I’ll finally be able to read things that I want to read.

    5. Buy make up to make me pretty – I’ll actually be going out to make use of this.

    6. Buy a camera – I’ll be seeing daylight to take pictures.

    7. Netflix – It’s been years since I watched TV.

    8. Get cruuunk – =)

    Well, once I pass I will:

    1. Go to Vegas

    2. SLEEP

    3. Watch TV & movies

    4. Read books I have on my Kindle.

    5. Clean – doesn't sound exciting, but I would love to deep clean/organize my whole home and I want to do it now, but I feel too guilty to clean when I need to study instead.

    I recently passed and man I don't have a list to reward myself…

    I guess it”ll be something like…

    1) Possibly look for new job which will pay me higher if my current employer doesn't want to do that.

    2) New car? Or new used car?

    3) Play with my PS3!

    I'm not even that excited that I pass… wtf is wrong with me.. 🙂

    I passed last testing window (just under the 18 month deadline) and I'm trying to determine where all my “free” time is going. On top of passing, my last day at my job was last Thursday – so hypothetically I should have A LOT of “free” time..

    I'm spending my “free” time (1) getting things ready to bring to my tax preparer, (2) doing a LITTLE cooking and CLEANING, (3) catching up on my PMP studies, (4) looking for a fabulous job (versus another one like the one I just left), (5) sleeping more than I did while studying, (6) and submitting the final paperwork to the board so that they will issue my license.

    I'm still trying to free up enough time to (1) pleasure read, (2) exercise more, (3) deep clean my house, (4) cook a good meal every time.

    p.s. And we have no dependents (kids, parents, etc.)
