Today is december 2nd. I have decided to start a diary to keep myself motivated through out this process, maybe i will feel ashamed of not being able to do what i said i will, you know a little commitment! I am on my second book read and my first DVD lectures. I feel like i dont remember anything, is this normal? I am on chapter 14 of biochemistry, I would like to finish about 3 hours of DVD lectures. It takes me about 1 hour to finish 40 mins worth of lectures, because i am also reading my book and making notes, going back when i dont understand. Another reason to start a diary is because i REALLY NEED a SUPPORT system, i am going through this process alone, nobody knows i'm doing this, they know i study but they dont know for what, and much less a test date. Thank you in advance for your support, i really need it! I am determined to beat this monster: Step 1! Reet, thank you so much for your encouraging email, very helpful indeed!

Thank you so much Reet!!! This website is definitely an outlet for me! Today i was incredibly busy that i did not touch my biochemistry book, and now i have to attend a formal from my Rotary Club, so wont be able to study tonight. You see? this is how my days go by so fast! Do you think i'll be ready for the end of jan when i'm taking my test? Or better said WANT to take my test...What do you think?

WELL, u are a busy person , but dont worry u can beat this test..U know step 1 is just ur basic knowledge ,, not straight questions from BOOKS.. if u listening to lectures ,then u are in good shape.. Atleast u are doing something great.. I f any time-problem for studies,u are not getting enuff time to read,, then U can make ur schedule how many hours atleast u can study in a week.. Even i think we wont be ever ready for exam if we Dont decide a date of exam. Anyways u know its UNIVERSAL LAW,, evrything is under control of FEAR..
WHEN exam date comes nearer ,we ourselves try to grab every minute of a day.Well, i think i m just explaining my present situation.. Hope u got my point.. AND ofcourse u will do best in ur studies.
KEEP GOING...................
Regards,
Reet

well my dearest friend! i know how terrible it feels when you are stuck with your schedule and you are not able to keep up with it, but hey! in the end all it matters is the outcome of all your hard work, believe me you will have your reward, so don't get too frustrated and keep ur gears up.
for the exam i must say you have enough time, so go about your second read very thoroughly, it does'nt mater how much time a particular topic takes as long as you are grasping the core concept which indeed is acountable, and remember you won't be getting ths much time for your 3rd read or revisions so better concentrate on what you are doing Now!
i agree with reet! you should appoint a test date as soon as possible! it will keep u motivated!
lastly friends, good luck to you and if you need any help don't hesitate at all!

Today i was finally able to study! It had been a few days and the guilt trip was killing me, sure, i didnt study 100 pages, but at least i'm getting back on track. This had been a hell of a week, personal issues that Thank GOD are now resolved, and i was in good rythm studying until a friend/cousin from out of town dropped in for 2 HOURS!!! I am not blaming her for not studying more, but i wish i would be left alone when i can finally sit and study! I am so happy i was able to study some this afternoon, i sat down and i had no headaches, my cell wasnt ringing off the hook, and the house was quiet. Although i have to admitt i got extremely sleepy, so i drank 2 cups of coffee which i hate and i did some stretching excercises, and refused to go to bed, i stuck with it, and i was able to study after that! So i'm thankfull for being able to get over that little hurdle. =) Almost done with biochemistry thank God! When i was having dinner with my friend, to compensate, i reviewed in my mind all the different pathways of glycolisis, and lipogenesis! Tomorrow will be a better day!

Dec.4th. Around 6:30am i was halfway asleep, and trying to go to a deeper sleep, when a chilling thought came to my mind: doing the oasis trick and seeing that it let me register! This was enough to make me get up, I got so mad, i thought, this test will not break me, I WILL DESTROY IT! So i got up, prepared myself some apple-cinnamon tea and i'm ready to take on biochemistry. Dear Lord, thank you for giving me the strength to get through this process and come out victorious.

It's 11:15 pm but I DID IT! i finished Biochemistry! When i started this morning i felt somewhat insecure so i did a complete review of general overview of metabolism, also read my FA, and then started from there, I thought i was NEVER going to finish! THANK YOU Dear Lord for the strength...

Good day to all of you!!! I feel so good having finished Biochemistry, not only beacuse it is absolutely boring for me, but because i was able to achieve my goal! I was just looking at my calendar and the first time it took me over a month to read biochemistry fully and deeply, and now a month. YUK! The fact that i was able to study, has put me in avery good mood, lifted my spirits and now i am starting to believe i can do this! So now i just want to devour my books, I will start doing Genetics today, hopefully finish by tomorrow, and will read it's corresponding section on FA, will also restart doing questions. COME ON PPL! BELIEVE! We are so going to blast this Freaking test!!!

well, GMOB THATS GREAT --high motivation will keep you in good pace. GENETIC IS VERY IMPORTANT topic,, need full cocentration. If we understand the basic concepts, it would be easy to solve any ques on genetic.
HAPPY STUDYING TO YOU ALSO.

Today is Dec.8th and i have only one left of Genetics, didnt do much yesterday, because i was tired, but got up at 4am today, and now i know i have only a little bit left to do! Observing my progress i've realized that it takes me about 60 minutes to listen to about 40 mins of lectures, or around there because i pause it, read the book, play it again, go back, pause it again look up related stuff that i dont remember, etc...So it might take me longer, as i cant just play the whole lecture without stopping it a zillion times to take notes, but i think this way, i am able to understand the core concept better, which is what i really need since i am not memoryzing anything, but rather analyzing and making sure things sound logical to me. Ok, unfortunately i have to go to work, but God Willing i should finish genetics when i return around 1pm or so...Happy study day everyone!!!!
