Today was the big day - my first actuarial exam - and I passed! This is a pretty big deal, since passing the Probability Exam means I'm only 4 exams away from having a real actuarial designation. That still sounds like a lot, but it's supposedly really good to have passed 2 exams by the time you graduate from college, so I guess I'm ahead of the game. Now I have nothing to worry about until the Financial Math Exam in May, and the review seminar for that starts this Tuesday. It's so much fun being an actuary...
I'm also "teaching" 6 sessions of an actuarial tutorial this semester, which really means collecting the sign-in sheets and babysitting while people do math problems. But still getting paid :)

Mexico
Dominic and I spent Christmas traveling around Mexico. Here are some of the photos.
More pictures of Monterrey to come, when I get them developed.
I am actually very excited to head back to school tomorrow and start another semester, since I have been kicking ass academically in Tallahassee. This semester I'm taking Mathematical Statistics, Ordinary Differential Equations, Intro to Financial Accounting, and Intro to Risk Management & Insurance.
The El Paso border is not too busy
