Thanks moctopad and kirnandi for your wishes.
Buddy it was just a road accident ,i was on my two wheeler and was banged by rikshaw( three wheeler vehicle).
Anyway i am feeling much better now.I was so drowsy becaue of drugs for last few days.
Now successful to be awake all day.
howz everybody doing?
I decided to listen Goljan a lot during this time. Because sitting a long time makes me sick...it makes my limb swollen.
So i guess i will do webprep lectures also again. and rest time on laptop with qbank.
Wish me luck friends.
Today i did 100 questions in qbank and scored horrible...thats 43%.
Oh man,i should do these revisions a lot better.
anyway..going to sleep now with my Goljan.

Hey Krushna!
Sorry to hear about your accident! As you know, these things happen to everybody - myself included! I am also having to deal with the consequences of my own car accident now - subpoena to appear in court, getting my car fixed, blah, blah, blah. Life is full of surprises. Some good and some not so good. I know how it feels to be in a depressing situation, but you are not alone my friend. Someone told me today that good things happen out of what we think are bad events.
I wish you a speedy recovery. Keep listening to Goljan and don't give up with the studying! Keep doing Q bank, your scores will go up. My percentages ranged in the 40s to 60's last month. Even when I redo the questions I got wrong, sometimes I get depressing scores in the mid 50s to 60s. Not good. So I am also feeling disheartened whenever I do these questions. However, DO NOT GIVE UP! Sticking with your original plan is the key to victory. As Moc told me after my road accident, everyone has rough patches, but we will get over them. :wink:
Best wishes,
pinkangel

Thanks moctopod & kiran for the encouragement.
Well i am ok now.Out of that pain and drowsy feeling.Well as you said kiran ,i am getting royal treatment as you said.
That means this is a golden opportunity for me to do well in studies.No extra work.
Today i did 100 questions from BSS...i think i should not tell the scores everytime...it was bad only..i scored 45% only.
Then i did pathology ,read general pathology.....heard goljan for 3&1/2 hrs.
I am about to buy BRS pathology.
which is the recent edition?
Now i am gonna sleep.Tomorrow i will start with behavioral sciences.

somehow couldnt stick the message y'day.Some problem with my internet or site.
anyway i am off track since last 2-3 days.
feeling really down.  I am not going according to my timetable.I couldnt finish my task.And i am just reading here and there. I guess lost the concentration. its becoming very dificult for me to do 50 questions at once.
I will have to do something.
Hey,anybody there wanna be my study partner.Just for encouragement.I want to give this exam at the end of january.So if anybody in same boat,please contact me.
I will have to make revised time table as last one didnt work. Its such a shame .
where to start?
today i will just keep reading what i am now, behavioral science! Then will do few questions.
Hopefully will make a good time table at the end of the day.

Hey..i am back ,Kiran!
I was very depressed. Felt like i cant do anything in life like this.
I should be moe focussed, then only i am gonna win. Yes,i have decided to myslef now...be focussed. Nothing else till this exam is over.
And yes,i decided to make a deadline for all this.I decided february as deadline .I should be done with this exam in this month.Thats it..no more excuses.
This is second week of december.8 th decemeber.
my position till now- i have completed second reading of most of the subjects except pharmac & physio. I havent finish with these two. Though frankly speaking the second read was same as my first read, as i think i didnt understand the concepts in my first reading. So i think i ned one more reading.
Big problem with me nowadays...concentration. My concentration is very weak,so i was unable to solve a good amount of questions in my schedule.I should improve on it.
Revised time table....
a bit realistic seeing my speed in last few days.
Physiology 4 days
PHarmacology 4 days
pathology 4 days
anatomy 3 days
biochemistry ,genetics & mol biology 5 days
behavioral sciences 2 days
microbiollogy & immunology 4 days
26 days total ! I need for his reading. So i should finish this by 4th january.
Then comes kaplan qbank.....which should finish within 15 days.and then last reading with questions for one month.
Yes , thats it.
I should be appearing for the exam on 20th February. If somehow i could not, i should forget about all this and should look for a simple path in life.
Praying God to help me achieve my goal.
Good night all!

Hi Krushna!
Glad to see you back! Hope your leg is feeling better. It is very normal to feel depressed when you become sick or injured. Somehow everything in life seems darker when you're not feeling well. I've been having the same problem as you the past few days plus internet connection problems so I have not been able to post.
It's good to write out a schedule, I forced myself to do the same thing on Monday after getting off track for a few days. You're almost completed with your 2nd reading which is great! Keep going, no matter how slow things seem to be going. You will get there. I will keep you in my prayers.
Hang in there my friend!
