thanks Tolito & Hodgkins.
I am doing Biochem. it is one of the subjects I like and as a result know least. only neuro beats it in being more hard for me.
something bad happened to me about Biochem is med school. i had no prep for exam. the paper was too hard. i gave a lousy Viva and still i passed.
so as a result i never had the chance to study it again and now i am here with very poor basics. It is strange how in life what we think is good for us turns out bad. there is price to pay for everything. like now if something is very hard for me to get than i guess the real reason is that i am not paying the proper price. I Must remember that nod

my goal was to finish biochem, patho and physio in this month. i am way behind schedule. now i will give it 5 more days, till 15th and than start patho physio system wise. i think that is better way to do them. mean while there is too much to do. i must remember to focus on what is clinically relevant. and keep away from getting into too much details.

amino acids, protiens, enzymes
hormones
vitamins

i could just finish amino acids & enzymesdisapproval. wasted alot of time in doing nothing. i must stop this kind of behaviour and put solid work. one problem is that i start working and than start thinking about something else. and than something else. i must stop that. so here is what i will do. i will start a stop watch and study for one hr and give no attention if my mind wanders anywherenod.
my last experience shows that i must finish biochem quickly. as if i let it longer, i will get tense and will start doing poorly. so do it fast and good.
inshallah nod

Champions are not made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them- a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last minute stamina. They have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the WILL must be stronger than skill.

"Take care to get what you like or you will be forced to like what you get."

toay i read Moleculer biology from kaplan. it was very tough. i think it was better written in lippincotraised eyebrow. will check it tomorrow.
so there are three parts of biochem:
moleculer bio,
genetics &
biochemistry.
My biochem is ok. but mol bio and genetics are very poor. i think i should try watching their lectures. but it takes so much timesad.
Tomorrow:
review Moleculer bio from kaplan.
also from lippincot!
watch 4 lectures mol. bio

today was ok. lets hope tomorrow would be betternod.

26malick I know what you mean.
try not to be so hard on yourself.don;t blame yourself, it looks like you are doing good.it helps me when I am pleased with the concepts I added rather than be critical about all the things I missed. walk on, set achievable goals but dont focus on them, enjoy the journey.
and keep going when you feel tired , bored, worthless.
"Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever."

I think i'm saying all this to myself too.

so how is biochem going??? very volatile subject. just make your charts and take a look at them close to the exam date. no use wasting precious time you can spend on somthing you will surely remember whisch is high yield like pathophysiology than on low yield like enxyme pathways!!! it it makes you feel good, you may cram a few glycogen storage disorder and lipid storage disorders and move on!!!!

you know what i am just looking closely at the aviatar and i can see the long road that reaches the horizon. that reminds me of USMLE and the books. a very far place to go to. but remember, the chinese proverb says ' the journey of a thousand days begins with the first step'. we have taken a thousand steps already so i believe we are almost at our journey's end. we must not despair but keep pressing on.
