Come back on track soon,
Today, I only did 10 pages of pharm, did not touch physio... I found myself easily distracted, the web, talking over the phone...
Tomorrow, I'll try to finish pharm and continue with pneumo...
Keep us posted about your progress!

 ooops!, I went of radar, lost focus for whole 9 days  
Not really sure what happened, I just felt down, didn't feel like reading, just slept, worked, and watch tv, I am not proud of these, but today I studied for 4 hours in library and 50 minutes more here at home before bedtime, so almost 5 hours today, not bad. But I only read 10 pages in those 4 hours so too too slow!
Thursday Februrary 7th (Happy chinnesse new year)
Finished reading Chapter 2 of Section III Peripheral Circulation (not done with the videos)
Tomorrow's target will be to finish Section IV Skeletal Muscle!!! and advance on videos of section III that I haven't finish.

Hi Papio!....happy to know that you are doing fine with your studies! A couple of friends from the study partner thread and I have tried to re-start and partner up, but I've just been very inconsistant to be a good study partner, but I am up for it. Will see.
Ok, here is today's progress:
Thursday Februrary 28th
Read about 2.5 hrs at library, it is not much, but it is better than nothing.
Read Section IV: Skeletal Muscle
Chapter 1 and Chapter 2.
Started reading Section V: Cardiac Muscle, Chapter 1.

HI EVERYONE, thanks for posting simon.
I am mainly posting on the main thread at the support forum, but will try to keep my journal alive.
Right now, still in physio cardio, haven't finish it, read some anatomy, pharm and histo cardio but haven't finish it in order to continue to the next system.
Right now I am reading another subject, plan to get back on cardiosvascular system by Thursday, plan to finish it by Saturday, I think I am going to be behing the main group: target, zade, jena. But I will catch you guys as soon as I can.
I've been staying late at work and I promised I wouldn't do that so I have to keep reminding myself that this is it, I have to hurry because I want to do this exam soon. I was hoping to do it by May June but it is almost April and I haven't done much, so I guess a realistic time line would be by August, but I don't want to wait that long, I have to hurry up.
Good luck to everyone

Hi Novak,
Thank you for posting in my journal. I work full time too and i have a tendency to get sucked into work, i am trying off-late to limit office work and also trying to read some at work, with limited success so far!! but its worth a try. I am planning to do the exam in August as well.
Lets keep things rolling.

I went to see a friend perform, he wrote poems and songs, there where inspirational, I am really happy that I went, I have a great feeling right now, wish I would feel this great all the time.
My life in the past years has been going to work, to my other job, and back home, with not much of a social personal life, forget about a love life. My life seems to be on hold because I am day dreaming of USMLE, residency, and about how my life can be once I finish the exams.
Today that I went out with a couple of friends, I just was transported to a different life, or a peak of a good time that I haven't realized that I do miss, but since I don't let myself think, feel or do anything about it I haven't noticed, or wouldn't accept it.
I want to finish cardiovascular this weekend!...so I am going to hurry up, take of my makeup, put my pijamas on and go to sleep so I can have a fresh, enthusiastic, early start., because my LIFE is waiting out there, I don't want to wait anymore, we don't know how much time we have left in this world, and I won't to live, experiment, feel, I don't want to be afraid anymore, I want to be happy, I want to feel good.
I know I can only do this, once I have accomplish my dreams and goals. I don't have all the answers, I am not sure of what road to take, what residency I am going to match in, what state in the US, but I know that God has something in store for me, something good, something great, I just have to be ready and willing to go for it, and work for it, and grab it.
Yesterday a doctor who barely knows me told me that maybe some people are just not ment to be specialist, that maybe it just wasn't in the cards for me. These coment made me angry, I thought, he doesn't know who he is talking to, of course I can be a specialist, I am smart, top of my class, I have great feedback from patients and colleagues, there is no reason why I can't or shouldn't be a specialist!
I know I can make it as many others in this great forum have, I have seen classmates finishing and acomplishing their dreams, people with even lower grades than me, but you know what, grades aren't everything, you have to have what the title of this journal is...MOTIVATION, DETERMINATION, PERSEVERANCE, AND HAVE THE AMBITION AND VISION, AND NOT LET FEAR HOLD YOU BACK.
I know I have written it before, but today, right now, I know it, and I am feelling it and wanting it, I want to do this, I will do this, in this year 2008 I am going to finish this exams, nothing is going to hold me back anymore, I ow it to myself. Maybe in the past I have my family as the biggest reason for this, but I know I have to do it for myself too.
So borron y cuenta nueva, like we say, which means to start with a clean slate, or to have a fresh start which is what I am going to do tomorrow.........here we gooooooo!!!!!!!!

U have it in u, don't let anybody interfere with your dream...
I met people trying to discourage me , but most people I know, family, friends are just:GO FOR IT!
Stick to your plans, 123 is a matter of 18 months...u can do it!

Thanks Papio, I need it that.
Well, I am trying to re-group, have to finish cardiovascular soon.
Got to hurry, hurry, hurry, I am just reading one or two pages a day Hopefully next week I will go to the library after work, it seems that is the only way I can get some serious studying done, because I just don't study at home.
Good luck to everyone!
