aloha...
i v turned into this freak , whos online all the time and reads each and every blog related to prep or exam exp of step 1..God help me..
have the books but m still waiting for a signal kinda thing from the Almighty i guess...
perhaps a 'start studying ,enough with day dreaming' s news slide on bbs would do the trick...
i think of starting witht he holy kaplan every day...but m usually up by 3,4 pm...cz am on the idiot box the entire night...and when more than half od the day is spent in bed..i just dont feel like studying at all.
todays an improvement...m up slightly earlier than usual...and can give studies a try.lolz
plan to start with pathology....
[color=#3333ff]prayers and best wishes for all.
looking forward to posting soon with some kinda better news on my part...
ciaossssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss[/col or]

hi there....
well... no offense but am i glad to know that there is someone else out there who is in the same state as i am.. . belive it or not ..i was supposed to finish my first read by now...reality check.....
havent even finished physio..my first sub..
started of with alot of gusto...somewhere along the line... just let go of it...
but i.v buckled down again from today.....
so just get to it... the longer u put it off.... the more panicky u'll get in the end....take it from some on who is about to go berserk at the thought of all the wasted time.....
u have to do it eventually...might as well get a head start...

YES THAT IS IT. GOOD JOB the funny thing about studying is there is never a good time to do it but once you just dig in and determine to study, you will be amazed at what you do. just keep it up. give yourself small targets and reward yourself when you make them.

HAVE DONE IT FINALLY
YIPPEEE
HEY
HUG HUG
SLAP ON MY SHOULDER(cz no1 else is goign to do that to me on reading ym first chapter of my first book)
yes speople..u heard it alright..i v actually gone out there n jumped inot the actual worl og steps
have done my 1st chapter(actually 5 )but thank God i v finally opened my books...hats off the library on floor 3 of the hospital i m working in right now..cz if it would have been left on me,i would never ever have dared to search for 1 on my own.
the library is fun,with 1 regular visitor..a gentlemen appearing in his fcps part2..is there at 8am , n still there when i leave..thats 7 pm...wow!!!!hes 1 dedicated soul.
so how do i go about it normally(the norm for atleats the last 4 says..lolz)well oncw i m off my job,which is thankfully radiology..which means no evenings ,no oncalls,very less patient interaction..so that i m fresh enough to study for the rest of the evening..i go to the library by 2pm..n stay there uptil 7...out of these 5 hrs,i manage to study for 2...hopefully i l be doing 3-4 next wekk inshallah...
planning on completeing my patho n physio by the end of this month..cz m thinking of doing physio n sp.patho system-wise...
hopefully once i speed up,i l manage to complete my 1st reading by the end of august n all 4 of them by the end of nov..jan-feb-march is a good triad for me...but will take the final decison once i m done with my 1st reading n my level of satisfaction...
so smart people out there..wish me luck...regards.

hey...
4-5 is good for now... slowly try pullin upto ten... but also it depends on ur speed and ur grasps....some ppl r the kind who hav a great speed...but need constant re-reads..so go from start to finish pretty fast...u need to choose ur own style.... like tolito said:"essential study"...

Hi roume, I am in the same situation you were when you started writting this thread, hopefully tomorrow will be the day that I start studying seriously and constantly.
Good luck, and keep it up.
Are you planning for 2008 match?, in what year did you graduate?
Hope to drop by to see how you are doing, good luck

hey yolanda..good to know u r finally smwher near starting..bad bcz u l feel down every day until u really rreally start studying...buit once u do,u l be so proud of urself.
i graduated this april....and only if i would ve been intelligent enuf,i would ve started way back,sm time in jan that is..when i d returned back to home after my final professionals..but i was kinda stuck up mentally...thought first i shud be out of the medical college before actually planning ahead.....:
well..n now that i m out of it...i v done a lot of bogus work...net surfing here n there(homework in other words)..n now have finally started my prep.
yesterday was good.went to the library(sigh!!!i just cant seem to like one place enough to stick to it)...n except for some 25 min when i was busy dozing off n some 15 minutes wasted in a call,i was pretty good.
left with kidney,resp n cvs......hopefully will be done with it in a weekinshAllah
oh... forgot to state a very very fortunate incident....
Naturally the duty roster for the month of july has been posted in the department.Since i m a house officer...my name was conveniently forgotten...(no hurt feelings there...see for urself)
so i l be taking full advantage of the 'typing' mistake n after marking my attaendence,will stay in the lib n study..3-4 days is the most i can get away with..this is what i m anticipating
day 1......dr.L will inquire....wheres roume?
day 2......ppl l say...she is not in fluoro anymore
day 3....dr.L will think..where is she then
day 4....ppl l say..ultrasound or ct or mri
day 5....she l catch me in the tea room n ask me abt my whereabts n i l innocently say that since my name was nowhere,i was in ct
a min later, dr.L l say...werent u supposed to inform abt the misprint to dr.A
a sec latera...i l say...oh..was i?how dumb of me......i l go right away n ask him.
lolz
*claps claps*
All of my MOs are very supportive n this was originally their idea....that i l be able toi study for 3,4 days very cozily..
n who m i to refuse such a mind-boggling thought.
only if dr.L could take a long leave...go on a vacation or something.
so..my dears
LET JULY BEGIN!!!!!!
