hi guys,

sorry for the long hiatus. had to take an unexpected break which lasted almost 10 days. got a lot of work done in this time, but unfortunately no studies. suffice it to say, i'm overwhelmed with guilt at this point. i guess there's no point regretting over time that is already past.......might as well make use of present time.

well, thank u all who remembered me during this time - i wonder what i would do without u guys. seems like everyone is going great guns. nice to see oldkid writing from canada.

dying to get back into the groove, but i know that distractions are not yet over and this month is going to be extremely demanding, but all the same........with God's grace, i want to move on ahead with my studies, however slow it might be........

hope to be regular now,
take care all of u and study hard!

I know it is very hard to study with the kids and especially when your youngest one is too young but with determination and hard work I am sure , we can beat the odds. We need to stay focused and motivated ..... and as they say, motivation is something that you need every day . I look to my mle family for my daily dose of motivation smiling face Let's keep motivating each other and take this journey to a happy endding smiling facenod

Hey seems, good to see you back. You mean you are going to see your parents shockedsmiling face
Well....good for you. How long are you planning to stay with them. I am sure you can keep studying over there too , may be you can study better when your loved ones are around. Please keep visiting us from there. What subject are you on now ?? Good luck with your studies and have a safe trip.

Oldkidontheblock, are you back from Canada yet?

Mytime.... where are you???? Should we wait for any big surprise tomorrow ???winkraised eyebrow

Rest of the friends , keep working hard and please keep posting.

Have a good day everyone.smiling face

OK now this is for everyone.........lets continue to do whatever we are doing and try to finish up but lets keep an hour daily for BSc since none of us seem to have done it and it'll give us the kick we need to get out of the monotony..just an hour everyday we can all do it...cut an of sleep everyone whatevr ur are doing or else we'll never finish even if u have not been able to read ur regular subject just an hour of B. Sc. but update first and say yes to the plan....and then I'll decide the pages to be done in that time...nothing less or nothing more in the joined study so no one feels left out...even if u are sick...one hour of 10 pages are all that's needed. those for it say Aye and those against it just shut up and do ur own thingieeee....we can continue this or increase the time or go to another subject or qs. as we go long...I'll take full responsiblity of this special education program if u guys want me to.



winkwinkgringrinnodnodnodI'm so serious guys...since looks like we all need help.I hope u all agree. Good thinking it over and hope to see all AYEs.grin

  #867

ramazan is very good spiritually but for procrastinators like me..it was an excuse to loose all my ambition and steam....disapproval

oh well..its never too late, is it??!!

Hi Friends,
Thank you MYTIME for the wake up call.I am really sorry if I sounded negetive.But I did not really mean it.
I will be studying the Skin pathology tonight.
My exam date is now uncertain because of a discrepancy in my name. ECFMG needs a letter from the Dean of my Med School before considering my aplication. Trying my level best to get this letter but there are certain limitations when one is living thousends of miles away from home country.
Thank you guys for keeping the forum alive. Good Luck and Happy studying.
Love u all
