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!!!

Hope things ease up soon for you. Keep studying!

Mytime, acyntia, thanks for the hugs I need really need them.
Medocuk, edie, kity thanks for stopping by.
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.

My exam is registered for the last day in August, I am behind ONE MONTH in my study schedule, I AM STILL IN MY FIRST READ, who am I kidding, I am beginning to think I am not going to be able to make it, I have to be realistic.
I started with my univ job, and in September I return to my clinic job, so, won't be able to study a lot, my anxiety levels are going up just thinking about it.
I would love to continue not working, and I actually thought of completely quiting my clinic job and staying with my university job only, but since we don't have a car, my Mother just told me that I can't stop working and that I should pay the montly installments of a car, which is almost half my monthly pay check, so I am getting nervous and anxious, don't know what to do!!!!!!!!
Well, first will stop complainning and get back to studying!!!!.....bye

Ok yeah I agree you should extend. I might too. But I am tying to fight this out.
Then tell yourself your realistic time that you have available. Trust me you don't have the worst deal. So consider yourself lucky. Then come what may, stick to your plan and take your exam. Stick to your plan is the key. Good luck, be smart.

Yeah Novak, I agree with medocuk. Taking the test in less than one month while your 1st read is not complete, does not sound like a good idea to me. But beware!!! DO NOT get relaxed if you decide to extend.
Wish you all the best .

Hi ped2B...nop, first aid isn't enough for step 1, you need to read kaplan or BRS series books or high yield books + goljan, and then or at the same time first aid, but I am still in my first read.
I have only read, biochem, genetics, micro, and almos all of immuno, right now I am in neuroanatomy.
Good luck

Thanks Shwe!
Hi you guys!
I am going to take my Mom tomorrow for and ultrasound of the neck, since I palpated a 2 by 2 cm aprox, mass in her neck, a little bit on the right side of the midline, the internist checked it out and agreed on the ultrasound, so please please pray that it is nothing serious you guys, please. I tend to over react with my family in health aspects and concerns, speacially with my Mom, Dad and brother, but even more with my Mom.

Friday August 03 2007
Finished Chapter 3 neuroanatomy
Have only 5 pages to finish chapter 4 of neuroanatomy.
Saturday August 04 2007
Will do laundry, go to get the ultrasound, house work etc.
I've decided I am going to do my powerpoint presentations and material for my weekday classes on Saturday, so that I won't stress during the week with them, and this way hopefully will have more time during week to study for USMLE, and I will be more prepared for the classes.
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND GUYS!!!!
Whos birthday is up next??
