Yesterday june 21st: My car not back yet, hence stayed home and struggled to read Pharma...well as I could not concentrate,hence started listening to DVDs..as I revised the General principles few days ago..I listened to the same lectures,was a good revision..also read Lippincott of the same chapter..things felt better! After many times I read it so happened, that I understand the Acidification and alkalinization concept!
Today June 22nd: I did the same, started ANS..could not complete..just did first two chapters from Lippincott then Kaplan..and listened to DVds..later I had some religious book upcoming new edition proofing work set deadline today, hence did that some time...almost done, feeling very sleepy , time its !:45am almost,thanks to nice sleep I had in the evening!
Tomorrow Friday Busy day..have to be in DMV to renew my DL,then by evening my cousin with her family will be here, they will leave on Sunday evening..so, I know I may not do anything, but will try to revise Behavioural Science or few questions, after everybody sleeps..its my plan, will see what happens then!

Learn and understand...
Sometimes learning can feel like a chore. Sometimes it seems that learning is just the mundane, yet necessary thing you must do before you undertake whatever it is you really want to do.
Yet learning is much more than that. In additional to showing you what action to take, learning also can significantly increase the effectiveness of that action.
Learning is not merely an obligatory step on the path to action. Learning has a value all its own, a value that lasts long after you've completed whatever it was that compelled you to learn in the first place.
Learning not only enables you to know what and how. It also provides you the opportunity to understand why.
Understanding why can add enormous value and effectiveness to anything you do. When you have a solid grasp of the fundamental concepts behind your actions, you give the power of purpose to those actions.
Leverage the energy of your efforts. Learn so that you can do, and so that you will understand.

Hi Coolsuch..whether you need to revise DVD's or can manage with just Kaplan notes, totally depends on your comfort. Basically Kaplan notes make much sense as you use along with DVDs, that how they have been formated. remember they are notes not text books. So, if you are very recent graduate with all your own text books memory fresh enough, then just supplementing with this notes beside is good...if not, DVD's are so good to have especially Behavioural Secience, Biochem, Physiology...like that!
I do not have any idea about, Home study kit, please drop your enquiry in the support forum, you may get many responses..so did you start studying?? Good Luck coolsuch!!
Very tiering but still very nice weekend got over just now.. but left my study time untouched! Slept since late afternoon..but still my brain seems it want some more hours of sleep...its pouring out here outside,whole day, Hmmm... have to plan for tomorrow, my Pharma...Oh my, whenever I see my books after a gap of these many days..its like Monday Blues!!
Somewhere I read in the forum..where was it..ha..mjl1717 signature.."Any activity other then studying will be KICKING out what you have already studied -by p53, its true!!!!!! So very, very true!!!!!"
Yes it is....will see what happens tomorrow!!

Intermediate steps..
There are some things that are directly and immediately within your reach. And there are many other things that you can reach only when you're willing to take a few intermediate steps first.
There is no one single roadway that leads to every destination. Often it is necessary to travel the road you're on until it reaches another road, and then take that other road to where you want to be.
Each accomplishment opens the doors to many other accomplishments. Each step you successfully take gives you plenty of additional choices for where the next step will take you.
Whatever is beyond your reach right now will not always be beyond your reach. There is some step available to you now that will put you solidly on the path.
The most extensive accomplishments are made by those who are committed to finding and taking whatever intermediate steps are necessary. Though it's likely that you cannot reach your goal immediately, you can begin the process any time you choose.
Be willing to take the intermediate steps, and you expand your options exponentially. Work step by step to your goal, and that goal can realistically be anything you choose.
-- Ralph Marston http://greatday.com/motivate/060626.html
So shall we..one by one, step by step..to reach all our destination..God please be our constant supporter, guider and protector. Ameen!

Hey! Hodgkins, where are you??, hope you are in good health, I miss your great inspirational quotes.
How is your studying going?
I sincerely hope you are doing fine, and that you are studying really hard and that is the reason you haven't posted lately, take care and God bless.

yes jaide..sooner or later as long as we stick to our schedule irrespective of our falls..God willing we should succeede..!!
Dear coolsuch..pick up any of the subject according to your convenience, but most of them start with the toughest one, like Biochem, genetics..like that, where as other disadvantage is you may spend lott of time, since its kind of not easy read thru..you may lose your study flow.., hence sometime they say, start with the subject which you like the most..patho, physio..easy read..atleast that will boost your confidence and keeps you going, then slowly you can add some extra chapters from other subjects too..just pick up one and start doing it..guess you should not be wasting time that much thinking which one to start..common coolsuch..just do it!
Yeah..tolito..how are you doing my chief? Did you give your nbme? All the very best to you!!
Yes, its really hard sometimes for myself..but now I only study when I am alert and energetic, rest of the day, I have practised not to panic, no matter what it may come up ..and just taking a day or even half a day at a time..managing things to my best of capability, ha its still going on, I plan, plan fails, again I plan, I fail,but agian I plan ..but sometime comes sweet success..hence I am only glad to say I am moving..only God should speed up my studies..but when I do not know : (
Novak7 thankyou for looking for me..I am here after long weekend, hope your studies going on great..wish you the very best !!

You're one of a kind..
Move away from the need to compare yourself to others. And you will move rapidly toward higher and higher levels of effectiveness and fulfillment.
Many of the things you see as limitations and deficiencies in your own life are not really limitations at all. They're created in your imagination when you compare yourself to others.
Don't waste your time focusing on what others have that you don't have. Instead, put your time and energy into making the most of the unique and valuable knowledge, skills and resources that you do have available to you.
Don't allow your energy to be drained away by worrying about what others will think. Simply be your authentic best, and keep in mind that what anyone else thinks about you is not your concern.
It's great when you can learn from others, find joy in being with others, and cooperate with others to achieve mutually beneficial results. Just don't allow your life to become bogged down by constantly comparing its details with the lives of those around you.
You are one of a kind. The more completely you celebrate and fulfill that reality, the more satisfying and rewarding life will be.

Dear friends!
Thanks for remembering me here in my journal, its very very long time..since my last post july 5th..hmm..more than 2 months!!
Many things happened, stressed out a lott with house hunting, later getting ready for my in laws arrival..with pregnancy I just could not rush however I want, always waited for my busy working husband to be home to move and arrange things..well that has also passed now..Thank you dear God!! We did it!!
In-laws being home..so much to carry on with daily schedules..no more taking it easy ..life has to move the way it has to..but got used to it..carefully, observing things around..doing my best, feel much comfortable than before..Thank you God, that has also become daily routine now!!
Atlast finalised our new house..busy with closing rituals..atlast our house is here. Thankyou God!!
Shifting things was such a bigg hurdle, thanks for the friends and my ever dear husband, who had all the strength to carry out this hurdle..all by himself, all I could support him emotionally..just standing near by and directing what to do, how to do, where to keep , how to keep..Thank You God..that has also passed away and we did it!!
Just two weeks ago, we shifted to our new house..almost settled with very basic needs..atleast Iwe have a chair to sit..and still lying on the flour, the one only bed we had, has been useful for our In-laws in their old age...!!
Lotts and lotts of roaming for the furnitures..same time shocked to see such a high prices..lotts to do still and lott more to exercise my interior design knowledge..I wonder if I have any..but all I need is to feel basically comfortable with colour, look, as simple and elegent it can be..but still worth of what we can offered..God willing this should also pass away!!
My little one: Just stepped into its 26th week, so far good..because of so much physical activity not gained much wait..but I do look like watermelon as tolito said..lott of kicking movements inside, is the only miracle and the very best thing I happen to enjoy inspite of all these stressfull situation around..!!
My studies: At the end of the day whenever I am tierd and slept, I only held First aid..read few pages, and dont know what happens after that, I am out of this world..my studies so far has been restricted to hold my books when I sleep as an analgesic may be..but certainly the tears rolling down, thinking of the huge responsibilities ahead..after baby comes, I may not even look at these any of my beloved books for 6 months atleast!!
Everynight since last week..these thought bothering me a lott , because of gastritis and sleepless nights..I am awake, but still owrrying about how can I make use of these time little here n there, hence I decided, I shall do whatever I can from now on..will do howmuch ever I can..for another 10 weeks in hand!!
So here I am..I shall continue my journey..towards my Goal, My Step 1, I only beg my dear Almighty, to give m ethe strngth, to make myself as calm and confident I can be in my preparation, without much excitation and stress, and all I have to start is to think I know things, I have read so well two months ago..now I need to brush up things, and do as much as I can along with questions..
I have to make a schedule..right now just making a decision of studying has made me feel comforatble..will do that tomorrow God willing!!
Hope fully we can do it..yes we will do it!! God willing!!

Go with it..!!
Life can be great when you simply go with it. Instead of excessive worrying or endless analyzing, just make your choice and then move forward with it.
Your first instinct is often your best one, because it comes from your authentic self. When you start taking a lot of other conflicting opinions and perspectives into account, your options quickly shrink.
Certainly it pays to think things through, and to consider the advice of others. Just don't let it all dilute the passion that can energize your life.
Trying to make the perfect decision can often lead to no decision at all. Trying to avoid every mistake can be the biggest mistake, because you also avoid getting anything done.
Though you can plan for the future, you cannot precisely predict it. So go ahead with the best you have, and you'll be completely able to deal with whatever may happen.
Even though it has no guarantees, this day is an incredible opportunity. So step confidently, enthusiastically forward with a smile on your face and go with it.
