Good Luck Novak! I was a recent addition to the wonderful folks at the main thread and have been wondering about you as well.
Your motivation and dedication to the goal despite all odds is AMAZING and inspiring. So I pray that you succeed in this journey!

Thank you very much acyntia and nochoice!!! good luck to you both too!!
 Started today with genetics!!!
 Only finished one chapter, hope tomorrow I will do at list 2 more chapters.
I will wake up as if I was going to work, so I plan to start studying at 9 am, take 10 min breaks every hour and then breaks to eat lunch and dinner. Hope tomorrow is more productive. I will start like this and eventually try to wake up earlier, but I am definately not a morning person, I prefer to sleep late and wake up late. Let see how it goes.
It is almost 12 am here so good night!

Well my progres...On friday I did chapter 2 of genetics.
Saturday was about chores and stuff, so night came and I haven't read so I was determined not to go to sleep without reading so from 12:30 am to 3:40 am I read chapter 2, 4 and half of 5.
Sunday was grocerys and stuff  , but I was able to finish videos on chapter 2, 3, 4 and half of 5.
My plan is to finish chapter 5 and 6 tomorrow, Monday, and do a quick review of all chapters and questions.
On Tuesday I will finish questions that I have on genetics and START MICROBIOLOGY
I am feelling very optimistic, on Sunday since I went to sleep on saturday at 3:40 am (already sunday), woke up at around 8:30 am so just slept about almost 5 hours, but I woke up happy, and that is a first because I am not a morning person, and I turned on the TV and saw a man talking, preaching, like a conference but talking about God, I never listen to that kind of tv programming, but something made me sat down and listen, it was the last minutes of the Joel Osteen program, I didn't know him, but I was able to hear the last minutes and it made me happy,.
He was saying that if God puts a dream in your heart that sometimes mediocre people talk themselves out of doing what they dream, but that we had to remember that if God put that dream in your heart it means that he also gave you the tools and everything that you need to fulfill it and achieve your dreams and goals, that we had to be willing to come out of our comfort zones and have faith in God that we could do it, that he has given you everything you need to fulfill your destiny, and that to not let the size of our dreams intimidate us, that we should live a life worth remembering!
 Wow, it was exactly what I needed to hear.
I did an hour on the stationary bycicly, did some karate kicks , ate small breakfast, bath, and started my day with a great attitude, even though I had to do groceries and stuff, I was happy jjajaja.
I will do that again every day!
Good night and God bless.

Hi shwe, jajaja, yes it feels good exercising, what happens with me is that if I don't do it in the morning I just know that I won't get around to it later in the day, so I must do it in the morning, and after a couple of days of doing it, I feel more optimistic and happy during the day because I am doing things right, studying and exercising, two things that I must do to get prepared for the exam and for residency, so that you are preparing mentally and phisically!
Hi meduck, acyntia, keepgoing, I was going to start micro on the 12th right?, well did some genetics questions, well only 5  , and then I had to do an unexpected work for my job and take it there, but that only took about 4 hours max, and I have my chart where I am logging or writting when I take my breaks, lunch, how long I study, and I didn't write anything, so I am really not sure why I didn't do anyting last night, so before bed I just read about 4 first pages of biochem from FA.
TODAY!!, I did start MICRO, I have read chapter 1 from book and chapter 1 from LN and the video. I am going to continue right now finishing up chapter 6 and 7 from book and I want to finish chapter 2 from LN, because I need to read about 60 pages a day in order to finish micro on time, but it is already 6:oo pm  , so I must hurry.
Good luck to everyone!...will report again on Friday or Saturday.
Have an excellent, productive, joyish (not sure if that is spelled correctly, jeje), and blessed Weekend!!!

Hello hello
So I didn't have a very productive weekend.
On Friday woke up with a tooth ache, my last molar tooth on the left , I am determined not to go to the dentist jajaja, so I am taking naproxen, and it does work, so hopefully today will be my last day taking it, but if the pain comes back then I will have to go to the dentis!
I was also a little bit shocked when I read my log sheet, I am keeping a peace of paper where I write when I stop for a break to eat or go to the bathroom etc, and I sum the hours that have been of actually study time, and OUT OF 12 HRS A DAY, I AM ONLY SITTING DOWN AND STUDYING FOR 2.5 Hrs AND THE OTHER DAY 3.1 Hrs... .....This can't be right!, but it is unfortunately, so I am trying to make myself study as if was my work day, hope I can change this around, otherwise, I should go back to work and earn money and just study 2 or 3 hours at nigth
I am going to give me a second chance today and tomorrow, and if not, I will change stragedy and go to a nearby library, hope it is open though because it is summer vacation, ok, well I am done with the complainning.
Shwe....when I say book, I mean the Jawetz micro/immuno book. Good luck on your studies!
Medocuk, acyntia, keepgoing, thank you for checking me up....I see you are all full steem ahead with immuno, keep it up!
Keepgoing you asked about the videos right?, I loved the biochem ones, and the micro ones I am not liking how they are starting, but I want to give them a try.
Ok, so it is 9:30 am here, I am eating fruit for breakfast (I am 188 lb so I have to work on that ), and will start with Chapter 2 LN video.....
Have a great and blessed weekend everyone!! I will post my progress on Wednesday or sooner if I can....chao.

Hello,
ok so on Monday I was able to read 50 pages of chapter 2 micro, that is the most that I have ever read since I started this journal, but today I didn't read a thing
So, now I know I can trully sit down and study if I put my mind to it, so I've printed a calendar for June, July and August, and I am, going to paste them in the wall that is in front of me where I sit down to study, so that I won't forget that time is money (like somene said in another journal), specially since I left work to study!
Task for Tomorrow:
Finish Chapter 2 and 3 of micro LN.
Good luck and good night

NV,
50 page a day is standard for 1st read , so that's good . Keep it up then can push abit more if no Q just dvd, kap LN, no other add on.
GL , yes, sometime , quite job for FT study, same study time like b4, but less stress, less out of breath, less rush, more sleep good one, study concentrate well, better health, happier , more time with family .
May be try PT job then you'll like to do FT study again, just kidding . Now I am in that delimma , ha ha .
So stop feel quilt , do as much as you could in study.
Good solid 3 hr relax study , better than nothing or worry, study 3 hr with job.
I also will post only few days from now on . Micro is now by glycogen, ?? Acintya soon, ?? Medocuk too. So team up micro group. GL.
GL GL GL happy success study to us, all

Hey you guys!...I just realized I read for 7 hours today, and only covered about 24 pages, this means that I am reading 3 pages an hour!
I did get the questions, that you find at the end of the chapter, all right, so I am making this first read count, but it still feels a lot 7 hours only 2 chapters, maybe it is because I am watching ALL the videos, right?
I got to pick up my pace . Any suggestions?

As far as all 7 hr is studying, with dvd , chpt Q , etc pages does not count.
What count is "DO uuuuu understandaaaaaa , as Papi said , all of dvd watched & that 24 pages , chpt Q , do you get it , do you get them all , also are all dvd notes well written in your notes ??? . See try not to stop , pause, rewind too often, when watch dvd in nice quiet, undistracted place, time. Like me, my good time is night time , no light out, v. quiet every where .
If yes, you're good. But extend to 8 hr, from 7 hr , then more later if you could on some of the day, if not, be it.
1st read always slow, frustrated if not patient & count pages too much.
GL GL GL, happy success study to us, all
