HE IS ABLE
woke up today at 7am. couldnt get to sleep before 1:30. my mind was just wondering. picked up a detective novel but that only kept me awake some more. should have picked up a romance.
God is my strength. He is a mighty tower. i am going to rely on His strength and not my capabilities and i believe that will see me through successfully. teh more i remember my mom and the confidence she had in me, the more i realise that God is good. He has given me the enablement over teh years to scale throgh all manners of hindrances, and He will not let me down this time around.
today i plan to read brain stem, visual system, autonomic syst and Hthal from MRS. am so glad i bought it.

Tolito, it's very nice to see that you are a believer and you always put God first, good boy. I know you are doing Neuro so here is an aid for you. after you read the neural pathways test yourself with this animations, they are great. good luck!

female doc,i cannot get the dvd! a guy sent me email that he would mail to me but i do not even know how to pay him and he has not replied my mail. so frustrating but i am trucking on.
thanks 4mymd. the website is tough!!!!!!!!! i did so poorly i cannot even tell you the scores!!!!! i am not ready yet for quizzes on neuro but by the end of the weekend, i should be well grounded. the quizzes are so cool with the voice that says 'this is not personal!'
so i keep on. i will finish MRS tonight and then go back for a closer look at gross and neuro. my target is to be done by sat. God help me.
today went well but tiring. i have got my presentation ready and i will have the poster printed tomorrow. am not sure i can study much tonight cos i have not had a nap. but no worries. if i sleep at 10pm i should wake up at 5am. so i have about 2hrs tonight.

thanks guys.

KEEP HOLDING ON
there is no time like now to pray and be thakful. i used to have a little poster on my wall that says ' do not expect others to share in your dreams, so do not expect encrouragement from them'. this is so real. i need to encourage myself but i trust in God to keep my spirits up.
i just love Brother Marvin Saap. i have 2 albums of his but i love this song the most 'not the time, not the place' from 'GRACE AND MERCY'. these are some of the words
this is not the time for giving up
this is not the place where you should be
not the time not the place to lie in defeat
you gotta hold on gotta be strong
this is not the time to question your faith
this is not your place of destiny
this is not the time nor place to throw in the towel
you gotta press on gotta move on
this is not the time nor the place
just believe keep the faith
got to learn how to wait on the Lord
dont give up, dont give in
sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
it's a part of life that everyone goes thro
sometimes there's joy sometimes there's pain
it's a part of God's plan
so dont be dismayed
there's still hope for the hopeless
there's still life for the lifeless
God's a friend to the friendless
there's help for the helpless
there's home for the homeless
God can mend your broken pieces
cause you to live and be blessed
he'll give you peace
this is not the time nor the place
just believe.....wait
gotta learn how to wait
dont give up ...wait
dont give in...wait
there is hope...wait
KEEP HOLDING ON.

today started fine. woke up at 6:30 and got out of bed promtply. got more neuro done. went to work. my poster is printed and laminated. it looks so good. i felt like i am performing some important research and i am making a difference even if it is a small one. that made me feel great. came home at around 5pm. was fagged out. had a 2hr nap and started studying again at 8pm
continued neuro. and then qbank in tutorial mode. abyssymal failure!!! anyway, there is hope. it's 12mn so i need to go sleep cos my brain cannot take anymore in. well , i know where the problem is and i will address it tomorrow. i do not think i can finish neuro tomorrow. but i need to follow my shedule so i will have to shelve it whereever i get to. but i am getting closer to the mark. neuro is a bottomless pit. i will try my best. and pray for the best.

tolito..i totally agree with you, neuro taking a good time. Same time, nothing stays after 2 weeks, this is another subject we need to revise on daily basis.
I am thinking of wrapping up this tomorrow..and stay with 1 hour revision along with DVD's everyday! Until I feel comfortable with this.I am planning to do this.
We will do it..tolito..keep moving

THERE IS HOPE.
did not want to get out of bed today. slept late at 2. watched whoopi goldberg on broadway. it was so funny i could not help watching it till the end. it was a bit gross but still funny. so alarm goes off at 7am and i reset to 8 then to 9 . when iremembered the work load and my abyssymal failure of last night, i got up!!!!  straight to the shower. God help me stay awake and alert for another 4hrs than i can take a 2hr nap.
today, i continue my sojourn into the 'mind' of man. hmm. of course it is impossible to find your way thro that path. i move the motion...neuroanatomy be removed from medical curriculum because noone can understand it.' do i get someone to second this motion?????

i agree, they should take it out of the exam. there's no way i'd even consider going into neurosurgery.

thanks guys for your votes. i honestly wish the whole exam would be cancelled but since i am not likely to make any impact on that, maybe i can get them to dialogue.
i did manage to study right till 4pm before i had a two hour lap.. so now is the home run. i pray i make a headway thro the rest of neuro before putting it to rest.
my wall charts are coming up well. i have brain stem lesions, foramina and contents, cr n and foramina, diag of c o willis and midbrain with the exiting cr n.

neuro is such a bore. anyway i have my pretty bouquet of orange dahlias to brighten me up. my room is coming on well. i do NOT turn on the tv anymore. i will not read a novel to relax before sleeping anymore. i will use HY Neuro to relax. that should surely put me to sleep within 10min unlike the detective i was reading or a romance where i am hoping the guy falls in love with the girl....

4mymd, ok, you try my system next time you experience insomnia. i only held the book and i just fell asleep without even opening it. believe....now i am tired. i need to stop. my brain is fried. i got good news though. scored 16/23 in the brain stem revision question. too tired to complete it . will do that tomorrow. its just 10;20 so i still have 1 and half hours before my scheduled bed time. weeeeeell. i will just stick my cards on the wall and have a bowl of ice cream laced in brandy and lie down and watch a good movie till i fall asleep. i know i said i was not going to do that but a girl needs some fun.
a domani.

thanks abs for stopping by. this exam is a real killer. it kills your confidence, your emotions, your mind, your life, your relationships, everything if one is not careful. how to prevent that? maybe by having beautiful things around you while you are studying cos you spend so many hours in the ronm. i hope i succeed in every facet of my life including the exam at the end of the period.
ok, good old determination failed me today. i was just depressed so i crawled right back in bed at 9am instead of going to church. i felt awful with a headache, runny and stuffy nose and my spirit was down so i could not fight it. woke up at 1pm. renewed and refreshed. cooked. and cleaned.
now i am listening to another favorite of mine... Ron Kenolly. i am fired up to study the next 8hrs and kill the demon called neuroanatomy once and for all.

hi tolito, just a small tip for your insomnia. try 1 hour walking/jogging or any cardio you like in the morning. it will help you to be energetic the whole day and sleep well too.

thanks abs. i will do a little work out on my excercise machine and then have a shower when i wake up.
good news then bad. i did spinal cord and i understood it cos i scored 13/15 in the revision questions. that makes me feel good cos i spent virtually the whole day on it . bad news, tried to do visual pathway and cerebellum and diecephalon to complete the subject but no way. my brain cannot take anymore of this stuff so i halt. that is sad cos i will have that section left over. cannot decide if i shoudl go ahead and read it tomorrow morning or leave it. i am already one day behind on my next subject.
i will read thro' BRS behav just the easy chapters, and see how far i can go before calling it a day.. i have 2hrs left to study.....

i think i have done good today. i decided to swallow the bitter pill of neuro so i read HY and got 50pages down. every chapter read is one less to read.
so i go to bed happy with my accomplishments for today. remember, the VPM is where sensory of V goes to while VPL is where all the guys from the spinal cord go to. then remember that the dorsal V-thalamic tract is for pressure and tactile discrimination (similar to dorsalcolumn) and ventral is for pain and temp. dorsal does not cross similar to dorsal column while ventral crosses similar to spinothal .
dont forget that VII tears and spits. VII is a hook and closes the eye and III is a pillar and keeps it open.
do i need a III to keep my eyes open!!!!!!
a domani
