Hey...after seeing step1mom's effort...i'm gonna try this too! Also a mom with a 9 wk old. 2nd Attempt for step one. I wanna put my goal for mid June. Let me try this journal...maybe i'll stay focused if i know that i gotta write something that i did.

Didn't do much today...Goljan-lectures-inflammation. Then i wanna do at least 50 questions b/f i go to bed. Gotta start tomorrow with a big bang...gotta finish Goljan general path and r/w physio at the same time.

Thanx for the suppport kaira. I had been busy the last few days, got a few blocks of questions in but that's it...couldnt finish patho physio. It is getting too stagnant...i think i'm gonna start somehting else tomorrow. Genetics? That sounds good. Yes, and i will listen to Goljan about 2-3 hours. Is that possible? I dont know but lets try.

Gonna finish another block of questions b/f going to bed.

I started biochem today...was kind of slow. Did molecular bio and all that operon stuff. Didnt do any questions. Fell asleep at 10:40 trying to put my baby to sleep...got up at 12 am and was doing a bunch of nothings. its 2 am...going to bed. WIll try to get more done tomorrow. Want to finish genetics and molecular tomorrow so i can start all that metabolisms the next day. I'm going so slow!! God help me!

I'm sorry dr in trouble...i had bought it from ebay...possibly u can get it from there. Another thing i've heard is that if u do a search on coolgoose.com u can get it...i dont know how relevant that info is. Ebay is ur best bet.

  #14

docmama, what are you studying right now and how is it going? hope you are making satisfactory progress. keep us posted!

Hey LisaM, i'm doing about 100 questions a day and listening to Goljan wheni have a chance. I think i'm gonna stop studying for step 1 for the time being and take my Step 2 CS. Thanx for caring....

  #16

do not give up!!! You have already started studying for step 1 and remember that this test will always be surrounding your mind , so do it and then move on . I know it is difficult becaise I have an infant who is starting to walk , sometimes i am so tired to study !!!!Sometimes i just want to move on , go for Step 2 , but it will not solve the situation . So , do not quit!!!

also am am mom of a one year ols have the same experience putting my baby to bed puts me to bed have weekends literally where i do not look at my book and evenings preparing food and doing work in the home and of course watching my baby my advice since i am in the same boat stick to step 1 u only need 2 more revisons to get a good score stick to kapln goljan and q bank anamtomy is enough in FA so stick to your guns girl we need to motivate each other i feel like shit all the time studying that i literally do not study out of angerand depression wondering if i will ever get a good score or fail so believe me we all are going through what u are just take one day at a time and if u pray then pray it really gives peace to the mind
