 Best of luck SSS . We are praying for you.
Shwe I am doing CVS pathology. Almost finished .
Mytime Thanks for the  of the day . I was fed up with hepatobilliary. So left it alone and moved on to CVS.
Anmelie Thank you so much for your enlightening posts . Please keep visiting us whenever you feel like it. Hope to see you in the US soon . Do not forget to have a romantic honeymoon once you are done with your step 2. You deserve it.

Anmelie, you are awesome! I am so proud of you - newly wed and all. You should probably mention your hubby's reaction to the "99" and how you celebrated it ! I guess you are the first 99 on this thread.........you give hope to everyone here.
Sorry I did not get back immediately because I was scared to see the thread.........!! Really.....!Shwe....thank you for you concern and advice - I am touched. Zenith I know how you feel and I am sorry if I was an pep to quit studying for now.....but you know what you have done very well over the last year ..........way ahead of me with a full time job. I cant believe it is May again next month, a year since I moved to Iowa and started my prep for USMLE. I feel the same way you feel........that studying little by little in bits and pieces is not helping any.......for eg. I read really good in Jan and finished Physio in two weeks.........then since feb me and Rohit have been falling ill one after the other.......plus let alone pressure from everywhere.....it was just easy to quit.
Now since I have taken USMLE off my mind, I feel so much relieved and destressed I should say - I really feel I gave so much importance to this exam for the last 6 years that not studying everyday created a big guilt in me. Now that I see the exam from outside my world - it really feels like " not a big thing" at all. We have done medical school and did pass our exams - so this shouldnt be any different - we just attach too much to it ! Chill out for a bit, try to do best in your work (just as I am now) and be happy ........then this exan would appear like pebble instead of a looming mountain.
All the others, mytime, jaide, unique, anmelie, seems, kg, nnl thank you so much for being there. It means a lot to have you all around. So I am going to not quit totally but work on it little at a time and when I am up to it and not fret if I didnt have the time or energy. Deal??!
Bug of the day sounds inviting.......I will try to keep up with the group. . OK one good news in 2007 in my life, so far other than anmelie's 99, is I won a travel award to go to Toronto ($500) for the Endocrine Society Annual Workshop (125 were nominated from around the globe). A ray of hope .....in my life too ..........there is still a flicker somewhere within........that USMLE will be one day my past someday.
Love you all and I am sure waiting to hear a long list of 99's from this group.

Hi Friends,
I have been reading posts irregulary because of my time constraints . I just finished Biochemistry from KME. I have official confirmation of ecfmg of jun-aug slot, I am freaking out I have now approximately 3 months to face the DD. I will be needing your support and valuable advice apart from mytime's whip !
Target: Nice to hear from you again. I hope you will continue with USMLE. If you can do PhD, USMLE is no comparison. 
Anmelie: Thanks for you advice. Every word from you is precious for people like us.
SSS: I hope she does extremely well on her CS. What about her step one then?
Anyone heard about Proctalgia? Where did he go? 
Mytime: A bug a day is a good idea. I am starting Micro and I will be going at my own pace to finish it. But I will specially emphasize on the bug mentioned daily. How long do u intend to finsih all the bugs before they multiply?
All other friends: Study hard and try to make the best of your time, hopefully we all will succeed eventually with good scores.
Goodluck!!!

UNIQUE : Thanks a lot, I am surprised you remembered it. Today no study in the evening coz we have plans for dinner.
MYTIME: Bug a day is a good concept. It can relax my schedule a bit. Do you intend to do all of Micro like this I mean bact, viro, fungal, para this way...how many days do u think it will take to finish it this way? I am thinking of switching to Immuno so I can do Micro this way.

Happy day , Target is back , posting, even better , won Toronto Endocrine trip.
TARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
will pm you , & Focus .
I know how it feels , when exam duty is off your shoulder at the 1st moment , when need it for a break . I've did it for my last yr of busy FT job too . But by that time, I tried to read clinical or any , if time permitted , just not seriously . Then ..Target ... build up your energy, happiness back , Toronto trip will be like vacation trip .
Then you'll back to all at normal speed . Focus your day job, at the job, do not think about the exam, but at home do not think about the work , at least doing the bug, anatomy or any non-heavy, non -thinking study subj for you.
OK ,
Bravo. When the date is here, that means gole almost there , so , be as usual study & forget about the all word related to freaking etc negative. Use every min count as good study time.
Dear friends & to myself too,
Panic , anger, guilt, sad , unhappy all should be last time we said here. Once you've get those like, yesterday I'vr tried mix Q , my score varies, average only abit more than yrs ago before study. Off cause I really panic which comes from nowhere before I've noticed yesterday , now back to normal. But as I said , once panic is in, it like to cling, grow on you. So, don't ever start any of those I just mention.
After thinking... I had not & I haven't study continuously & off & on, non seriously, that the reason, I know, understand all, but some ans just like not there , cause no review at all yet. Just tried finishing all LN, watching video.
So that's the reason my score not as I like yet, now , I know I am seriously now, also studying continuously, so , the off & on study will still pay off. I will able to do fast, sit back & relax, just watch the show , dvd .
Oh, one funny, all my luck guess, including, no clue at all, even calculating, immuno [do not get it still from kap] all correct & 100%. Hope those ... LUCK will be with me, all of us in the exam room. Who knows
Enough post here , will copy this in my journal , to save time, or double post . Will do it now on ,copy & paste, all of few in other posts.. mine, all friends here & there.
Target , read your pm in few min .
GL GL GL happy success study to all of us & me , sis , bro, friends

hi everyone, wow.. so much happening in the group dont kow where to start, guess i'll start with the sad new.
target and zenith...do you have to go?well i respect your decisions, you guys are old enough to know whats right for you, have always admired your strength just like a lot of people in this group with one commitment or the other who have bee able to study,you guys have been ma source of strength cos i always thik if they can do it then i dont have an option,but do you have to go???well may be you guys need the break,clear your head and hopefully we wil see you soon, but please drop in often, cos you sure will be missed.
anmelia,hey girl your a star what a way to start.big congratulations,well deserved expecially after getting uw for honeymoon,am sure you will get a proper one now if you already havent  ,well this is just what the group needed, a good boster at least goes to show the exam is doable.thanks girl.
now for me, thanks for all the wishes, actually the anniversay is on tuesday, so might be a book free day for me, have my doctors appointment in the day and then at night will have to devote it to him, he has suffeed enough usmle induced neglect.
yea took my cs on sat, and thanks for all the wishes even though i didnt inform you guys,i had to go underground for a couple of days, actually the initial plan was to take it late may after step one cos of my eligibility which was to end soon, but you know i sat down and thought about it, didnt feel it was a good idea taking such an exam towards my due date considering a lot of moving around would be involved, decided to move the date backward,and sadly the only date i got was less than 2 weeks away so i had to give it my all. am glad i took that decision cos really by the 8th encounter my waist was hurting badly, just recovered this morning.
for the exam proper, it went well i thought initially but after the night i guess the normal thing is i have remembered all the mistakes made, wrong differentials, this and that... but what can i say what has been done has been done all i can do now is keep my finger crossed my head back to step 1 and wait for the result,i know just 1 or 2 people in the group are preparing for that step now so wont bother yu with the details but if anyone has any question will be happy to answer.
now am back to my books, back with you guys and did i not miss you guys well now have to make up for lost time, exam going to be moved to the initial time i planned to take the cs, going to take it one week at a time and report in accordingly.this write up getting too long right? well will stop here now .will write more later.
thanks guys, his group rocks!!!thanks everyone.
