Hey like the way u give details of how u study & that way u as well as the rest of the world can keep an eye on ur progress.I guess it helps u stay on track & keep urself consistent.Thats what all forum friends keep telling me,to note down my progress or non-progress, just so that I know if I'm spending enough time.

You are doing great, despite your back pain, I also like how you detail your studying and progress. Your 63% in Kaplan histo isn't bad, but just continue to keep pushing and strive for the 70s+ in the more high yield MLE topics, AKA the " Ps": patho, physio and pharm. Keep up the progress, I hope you feel better soon smiling face

Hi everyone!!

Thank you edie, keepgoing, ped2B, acintya and mytime for checking up on me, my back stil hurts but I don't want to get depressed, because I immediately start to think..."How am I am going to be able to do a residency with this back?!"....and I don't want to go there, so I am doing the bike to see if I loose weight and the pain goes away, I know that eventually those herniated discs are going to have surgery but I want to postpone that as much as possible!

Mytime I know there is something starting on Monday with Anatomy questions, haven't read all the post about it on the main thread I am not sure what it is or what is the dynamic but count me in too, jeje.

Hey guys, I need a HUGE favor!

I finished seeing video #15 of anatomy, which is the video that start with head and neck anatomy and ends in the dural venous sinuses, but I am missing the rest of that chapter in video, maybe it is video #16 th? I don't know, does someone have that video where he finishes talking about the orbit, and oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, etc..

PLEASE, PLEASE, I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATED IF ONE KIND SOUL COULD UPLOAD THE LAST ANATOMY VIDEO..THANKS!

I just think I am too lazy & scared.Don't want to commit to the exam.The thought of having to sit & read continuously makes me find excuses not to read. I just can't seem to focus like I used to during my college days.All I want to do is play with my son or sleep.I know if I was determined, work,kid,hubby,household chores would not stop me from attaining my goals.But shaking headdisapproval NOpe ,I just never learn my lesson.I still keep procrastinating.My dear friends I sincerely need ur help.This is my third time around.I love this profession,I want to be a Pediatrician.Help me please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey everyone!

Today (Thursday July 26th), my Mom was desperate, she needed to get out of the house, so we went to eat breakfast at a local cafe, went groceries, and then she had a bad foot ache, so spend my day massiging her foot, by the way, if I ever for any reason have to suspend my medical practice, I can make a leaving with massages jajaja I am actually very good at them!

Tomorrow have to go to US, so there are about 500 people to cross to the US walking, and I odn't have a car, so I guess it is going to take me again all morning to evening, so I am guessing that I will finish head and neck on Friday NIGHT TO START NA ON SATURDAY!!!!!

HAVEN'T DONE QUESTIONS, NEED TO FIX THAT, BUT I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE TIME TO READ AND ALSO DO QUESTIONS, HOW DO YOU GUYS DO IT?

WELL, I WANTED TO READ A SUBJECT FIRST AND THEN DO THE QUESTIONS FOR THAT SUBJECT, BUT I KNOW I MUST DO QUESTIONS I JUST CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE TIME, BUT I HAVE TO CHANGE THIS.

I WANTED TO PICK IN PED2B'S JOURNAL, AND REST OF FRIENDS, BUT GOT TO GO, SO I SEND EVERYONE WHO DROPS BY HERE A BIG HUG AND HAVE GREAT WEEKEND!!!!

NV, I also will do subj well 1st, b4 jump into Q , though try few Q here & there .
So do as your own style, even Q at 3rs read or after 2nd read or may be with 2nd read , etc. as the way works for you .

Always like to know the feeling of if walk from Mexico to USA , how long, how hot the sun is, how would it be, especially with very big crowd moving together, must be fun & good like in carnival . It feels like home , walk every where instead of using car even to the restaurant you can see from your window , just across the play ground .

We give excuse use car everywhere to save time, but actually we loss more time by driving around to get the one tiny , v. expensive parking spot for few hr, minute .

Mostly do qs. when u feel stuck as....in what do I do now? Why can't I move on?! And slowly u'll wanna do them more often.

BTW, tnx for the hugs sticking out tongue why are u walkin in? And which border. U gonna be in Texas? Explain in a pm if u want. grin


  #143

Yeah questions suffer a big blow for me too. I think it is knowing how bably we might score is what keeps me away. I havent done too well in some of my tests. But then again to repea the mighty Steve Daugherty. Tests shud tell us what we r weak in not weaken our spirit.

How was your friday? Hope you have an awesome weekend. I know I am going to have a very productive one.


  #144

Hi Novak, have a great weekend smiling face

  #145

Hi everyone!!!

I don't have access to the internet in my computer, so I won't be able to log in very often.

I went to the US walking because I don't have a car right now, the radio announcement said that there where no people making line to cross to the US, so I went on Saturday but when I got there there where a lot of people, it took me 90 minutes to cross, I guess everyone heard the same announcement and decided to cross to the US at the same time I did, jajajjaa.

I was walking from the trolley station to the shopping mall, and all the time I felt like a little stone in my shoe, but it was late, and I wanted to get there soon, so I ignore it. After I finished shopping at around 11 pm (It was a night owl special at Mervyn's), I took off my shoe to see what was going on, and TO MY SURPRISE.....THERE WAS A PIECE OF GLASS STUCK TO MY DR.SCHOLLS PAD IN MY TENNIS SHOE, my heel was bloody and I ended up asking for a bandage and they had some iodine wipes to clean the wound.

So I called my aunt and she picked me up, so I stayed the night at her house and drove back to mexico with her the next day, ended up going to the movies on Sunday with her, cousin, and my Mom.

So all this is to tell you guys that I feel awfull because I haven't studied since Thursday!!!!, I started giving classes today, and I am teaching 2 subjects now, so that is going to take time from USMLE, so I am freaking out!!!!!!!!!

I have to figure out a way to distribute my time now differently, so that I can prepare for my teaching classes, and I want to prepare good for them, but I don't want to miss on USMLE study.

Like I said I don't have access to internet very often, so I will check up on everyone during the week if I can, I sen you all a big hug, and hope everyone who reeds this is happy studying!!!

Shwe, I forgot to mention, crossing to the US walking it is definately not like a carnival jajaja, long hours, sun, standing, no , no, but I can't get here the clothes and other products and the prices I get in the US so that is why I go.
