Hi drneeded. :icon_salut:
Welcome and thank you for joinging. <:flag:>

OK, Here is what I have already done so far and what I'm planning to do.
I have started the Anatomy few days ago then I will start my next book on April 1st. I think it's a good idea that we start the next book together so we can talk about it more.

I read the Biochemistry before, and now I'm reading the Anatomy. let me know what books have you read before so we can start our study group on APRIL 1st.
What do you think?

As I said, I'm working in the mornings so I study in the afternoons and my plan is to start my Kaplan course on June 1st.
I'm going to attend the Kaplan center prep combo (not a Live lecture).
Because they don't have a live lecture here in austin.
So if you are going to join the live lecture you have make sure that they have the Live lecture course in your city or may be you are moving to another city to join the live lecture?
We will talk and plan our program with email. Or if you like we can create a topic on this forum and start posting our information in there. Just et me know what is best fit for you, and I will do that.
Thank you

Here is the deal

We will start studying for Microbiology from April 1st. 20 pages a day.
Every day at 9:00 PM Central Time, we will connect to Yahoo! messenger and we will discuss the day materials together. We can use Type chat or even voice chat. Some of us will ask questions and others will answer. So we will review our subjects together.

If you agree please email me your Yahoo ID (if you don't have one, you can create one for free, or if you don't like to send me you personal ID you can create another ID only for our studying program). I will Add all of you to my messenger exactly at 8:30 PM central time so you have time to add me to yours. Then I will invite all to a online conference so every one will see others ID and can add others ID to their Yahoo Messenger List.

I was trying to post this information last night but the forum had a problem and it was out of service for few hours.
Any comments, please let me know as soon as possible.

Thank you all for your comments and I wish the bes for ALL OF US.
