prioritize things and DO them. Difficult to carry out duties at difficult times.Take a break, but give required amount of time and interest to usmle whenever u take it..keep visa issues in mind.all the best.

Hey karusmle: Thanks for your words on my journal. Sorry to hear you are having personal difficulties; while I was preparing for step 1 my dad was fighting against a nasty cancer. Was tough to keep concentrated (when you are alone in front of the book, your mind can be very mean to you), but what helped me was to find something related to my problem that counteracted the depression and gave me a reason to keep working... for instance, I wanted to ace the exan and give my old man a reason to be proud. I'm sorry to intrude, just want to show you another perspective of bad situations... sometimes that's all needed to do good stuff. Keep the good work! PS: after chemo, my dad is fine now...

thats a gr8 attitude isther. i havent been at my best for the last 2-3 days. i was just getting tired and wasnt doing my best. you just gave me some inspiration. something i used to say to myself too but i had not done so for sometime now was reminded by you again. thanks isther. and it was good to hear that your dad is fine now. ps: hey karusmle...everyone has personal problems. if i were to list them then it would look like one of those long lists in our medicine textbooks. but well, lets just keep working hard.
