Hi Focusmle, Zade, indidoc1,
Thank you very much for your post, you were absolutly right, I should not give myself any excuse to slow down. Thank you for taking time wrost the lone post to "wake me up" . I thought about this bad idea because several guys did not post for a while and I was afraid we lost them. I feel sorry for this "negative post".
The discussion was great, I really want to do it again. The best time for me is the weekday ( anyweekday) around lunch time. I can't do it on the weekend. As long as it's daytime of the weekday. Thanks indidoc1, focusmle, zeda, thanks for try to organize this.

hi there guys n gals ,
Alright then i m happy to see u guys shake n shape things up. AS i had mentioned in my post earlier that due certain misunderstanding b/w me n ECFMG now my exam is shifted to Sept. Honestly speaking i cant seem to leave this group although i m gearing up for Sept but have got this habit of checking up on people who gave me enough support that i came out of my slum. Really guys i seriously thought of giving up on USMLE entirely then i saw coolsuch's post for a study group n saw rest of the posts , got myself thinking that they r as old as i m( by that i mean in graduation yrs cos i might be older than most of U in age) n probably faired better in College yrs ( by the way i had barely passed in my final yr xms ) n when i Saw Zade's post that she has wonderful kids (God Bless Them) n still she finds the time to study atleast an hour or couple i was stunned. i m single n it would suffice to say that i have done absolutely nothing as compared to u fellows. i SUCKed it up n started studying n coming back to this post to seek inspiration from u guys N it turned out to be the Fact that most of the site was talking abt u guys n the other group.
Now There is talk abt having Sub groups its not such a good idea cos we as ppl tend to separate as our goals tend to shift. i have this idea n i m running it by guys.
Most of us r in USA right so instead of Having ONE discussion PER WEEK WE can have TWO Discussions. one for the whole group n one for ppl who r left behind or r having few concepts to be cleared out. By Behind I mean not only a chapter even a subject. the thing it would be good to have 2 discussions bcoz most of us have prior committments families n kids who need our time n support so Y dont we post our times of availability n the chap at which we r currently. So we can have a group brainstorming to be done. Or one is to one discussions .
Ofcourse DOnt Expect URself to be MAsters in the Concepts in the First Read. it will be just like that Celine Dion Song "Its All Coming Back to ME Now " it Will come to u Eventually. so y not help each other to speed up the " EVentually " part. Indidoc , I n i believe Focus have done BioChem So if WE can HElp u Guys Clear out some aspects of the Concepts ESpcially those in the First 7chapters. i have left my job in order to meet my target for the Exam. I m online From 6 pm onwards till 3am EST in the morning esp on Weekdays. So i will be ready to help NEONE WHO NEEDS SUPPORT.
I hope u guys like my idea n count me in anyway u guys want N i will be happy to be a part n to be of service to this group of my study partners
Hey Indi the point of writing the longest post should that IT should also be interesting so that the reader reads every line n enjoys. u can count me out on that one
N I THANK EVERYONE WHO WAS PATIENT ENOUGH TO BEAR MY LONG POST

Hi everyone, I didn't have a yahoo account so I just opened one, my e-mail is novakgyn75@hotmail.com
Sex: female
I am in pacific time, I am free during the week from 7 p.m. to 12 p.m, all day on the weekends.
I am behind, so I don't think I am going to participate a lot in the group discussions at first, I want to try to catch up before I join in.
I will keep posting here to let you know how I am doing.
Coolsuch, don't give up hope, I am very very very behind also, and can't seem to figure out a schedule for me to study, but we can do this!!
Bye

Hi Guys,
I can come in anytime for discussion in the comming week.
I get my schedule at the end of the week, so cant give u a day before hand.
Therefore everyone can just decide for the discussion day & i will let u know whether the day in the week suits me or not.
GL!

hello all..
why does no one post over d weekend???
keepgoing... if u r bothered abt calories i'll make it fat free sweets n sugar free tabs... just hope i do well. i'll fwd u d discussion in email if u can't b there.try to catch us frm delhi if u can.. u sum up imp pts in each chap pretty well.
hey lily..where did ur avataar go? u know.. d doctor. it ws nice. hope thats what u'll look like in residency!!
now d times.. i think the consensus is around a weekday... preferablly thursdays... at 1 pm. is it ok with all? if all agree, lets do it every week starting 3rd august. plz.. everyone sign in at that time. i hav got another idea.. keep ur Qs ready on notepad n it'll save us valuable time in discussion... just copy/cut n paste.
novak... d discussion's on yahoo msngr.. plz give ur yahoo id. a hotmail one won't work.
coolsuch u haven't indicated ur time... remember,,, we all WANT u to b there.
happy studying guys.. looking fwd too our discussion on 3rd

Hi dear friends, my daughter was not at home last night and this morning, so i read two chapters of the biochemistry, but I am still too embarrassed to let you know how much I have done with bioche. but i am happy now at least I did read.

@indidoc1, Thank u very much for setting a time fo rus after considering everyone's schedule. Thursday 1pm is good for me. I am sorry about your last post, I gained some too, I think it's because low workout as you said and I always eat to much.

@coolsuch, novak75, I am very very behind too, but i still want to participate the discussion. I'll try finish(or reread) the chapters which we are going to discuss before that day. This will push us a little.
@indidoc1, how many chapters are we going to cover on Aug.3rd? chapter 6--? Thanks!
Have a nice weekend!

hello friends.. am i addicted to our group or what just can't resist having a peek every now n then. just woke up n 1st thoughts were... lets see if anyone's posted...n that when i m away frm home. hope no one barges in on me at this time(4.30 am) n thinks i m a net addict!!
lily, novak,coolsuch.... never be ashamed of whatever u do; however meagre it may seem at that time. the thing is... u r giving it ur best... n people who give their best mostly get d best in return.
i talked to some senior graduates who hav got good scores in step 1. their advice is as follows-- if there has been a gap in ur studies, try to get into a rhythm of study 1st.. say fr 2 weeks.. if u find it still doesn't work n u r not getting anywhere near top speed, start d Qbank, not as a testing tool but just to get a feel of questions. i reiterate one of them" never mind how low u score... nothing will perk up a rusty mind as struggling with those tough tough Qs"
now, i think qbank is available free as a download. its ur choice do u want online or free download. i can find out d link n post it here..
abt the discussion, i don't think we covered all of chap 1-5 but hav reviewed so i think we should go fr a mega discussion of chap 1-9,... thats 4 chapters fr this week.
n we'll b left with vits n metab fr later. whatz ur take?
