Hi kiranadi!

As namf said, put a drop in your bucket every day and soon it will be overflowing! Don't feel bad about not getting everything accomplished. I know you will do it tomorrow. Physio-renal is a tough subject- so many details to remember, plus it is a high yield topic for the boards! Everyone has bad days - I've had a couple last week, but what's important is that you keep going no matter what.
Happy studying! I know you will succeed.

Love,
pinkangel

hey thanks a lot pinkangel......i really need some words of motivation now......feel very much depressed for my studies these days sad ....cud not complete lipids on the other day and yesterday i cud not do renal physio... :oops:

as usual i got up very late in the morning :oops: .....had a disturbed sleep last night and cud not sleep well :oops: ....and as a consequence got up at 8: 00am.i still feel drowsy...though i had a cup of coffee. :icon_sleep:

now i completed renal physio after getting up.

for today------->
#RENAL PHYSIO FROM FA

#RENAL LECTURES FROM GOLJAN...BOTH THE LECTURES

#ACID-BASE BALANCE FROM KAPLAN AND FA

#FLUID HEMODYNAMICS....ONE LECTURE BY GOLJAN.

#Q FROM BSS....THOUGH I PUT THIS IN MY DAILY SCHEDULE....I'M NOT ABLE TO DO THEM. :roll:

friends see you later...

  #153

same situation yesterday kira:

was pretty much locked up in the house (where I get nothing done at all) because of the flooding in san antonio.

i finally got to the library at 2 pm but didn't accomplished much at all. Im still on day 1 of goljan (I thought Id be at least on day 3 by now!).

So today I finally decided to get up and out of the house early. Normally, Id be waking up right now and taking my time to get out of the house.

Hope we both have more productive days today smiling face

  #154

hi imbebo
i feel sorry for ur situation in the floods.....how is the position now... :roll:

dont worry you can complete them...its good that you have got out early. :lol:

wish you have a very very productive day and accomplish all the topics you have made for today!!!!! :wink: :lol:

  #155

hi Kiran , me too cannot study during the weekends .This whole thnx giving I have to be out of town ,(in laws priority ) .But try to study .Just think a few more months and your on the other side of the fence .

I am in Philly , PA . Where are you?

Happy studying !!!!!

  #156

eh,

its more of a concern of safety than damage. Flash floods will sweep people away in their cars who will invariably die from it. They happen so quickly.

thanks for the concern though.

Im just happy the sun popped out this morning for about 20 mins smiling face

weekends are the worst. Want to watch the football games on sunday.

  #157

Hi Kiran,
How r u..hope u r doing well now P This is a hard truth...Once u missed the time ..it will never going to come back But,on the other hand you can learn a lesson from this..try to be punctual( its hard ...I know,especialy when somebody is a family person...even only a spouse thing wink )...and don't give up...because if you keep trying then,there is a chance... you can make up whatever you left ( I am talking about studies now.. ) ).but,if you will loose more time in thinking about LOST time..u will loose more roll
Ok,may be I am not so good in philosphy 8) but,I guess I said what I wanted..and wish you all strength...
Keepgoing... even like a turtle( me ) D

see you all later!!!

  #159

Hi kiranadi!

Just thought I'd give you another word of encouragement to keep going without looking back! You've accomplished a lot today and you should be proud of that. grin Do as much as you think you will be able to retain today and leave whatever is left for tomorrow. It is no use to go through subjects when your brain is not working from overuse. :? You'll be fine, I can see that from your diligence and disciplined study schedule. Sometimes a well needed break can do wonders for your productivity! Don't lose steam, you're doing well! grin

Love,
pinkangel

  #160

  #161

You are doing really well D
keep Up..
niti

  #173

Hi kiranadi!

Hope you had a good holiday and productive studies the past week. It is good to hear that you took a break. Sometimes we need them in order to keep our brains fresh. It helps our hippocampus retain the information we've just fed it. Congratulations on finishing the most unpalatable subjects in physiology! You are doing great. Goljan is great isn't he? Keep it up! grin

Best wishes,
pinkangel

  #174

g/l with the endocrine. I hear its big.

That and renal phys.

  #175

Hi Kiran

Yeap, I'll just echo Imbebo's works.

Happy to hear you've nearly finished renal too. I knew it really well in my second year, but it's slipping away a bit. Try and integrate all the renal physio with pharm, endo, etc.

Good luck!

Moc
