An Actuary's Progress: August 2006
http://actuarysprogress.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 24, 2006. Is always the hardest, I suppose. When I got back to graduate school.boy, let's just say these classes are tough. I'm so tired right now that I don't have much to write, before falling over. I'll give you something of a framework:. I have my own office. It's really an inner foyer between the door to the hallway and the door to the offices of two other professors, but I'll take what I can get. I suspect it is U(x,y) = x a*y b , where x=things and y=Coke. Even if you lose thi...

An Actuary's Progress: February 2006
http://actuarysprogress.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 28, 2006. Not much done today. Attempted the "Hot Yoga" again that killed my wife and I on Sunday. I did better, but I seemed to have gained weight. This entire weight issue perplexes me. As it turns out, the most recent Exam P available from SOA is from 2003. I wonder why they keep those old Exam P copies hidden - no copies of Exam P for at least 2 years. Or maybe, they're just in cahoots to sell more ACTEX manuals. Posted by James at 6:47 PM.

An Actuary's Progress: April 2006
http://actuarysprogress.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 30, 2006. Right now, I'm driving into finals week. Stats final in three days, intro prob final in five days, and foundations of actuarial science in eight days. How do I think I'll do? Well, I've got "A"s in all of the classes, and it would probably require me to seriously tank my finals to damage that. But, like any grind, insecurity is a hallmark of our personalities, despite the low probability of us making an "F" on a final. As for actuarial science, Notre Dame. Friday, April 28, 2006.

An Actuary's Progress: March 2006
http://actuarysprogress.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 31, 2006. Today, I decided to solve the P-h-D vs. j-o-b quandary by taking matters into my own hands. As you know, I had a telephone interview with a company in a southern state on Tuesday. I contacted that company by telephone and let them know that "someone I spoke with has made an offer". (I did not let them know that this was a university, not a company.) I asked them if they were willing to make an offer, and if so, how much. Hey, it's a solution, at least.
