My dear friends, I am so so happy to come back. The relocation part does not finish yet and I am still very busy at work, but I almost finished packing and my family left today, so I’ll have some time at night for study. I am sorry for disapper again, but I read your posts almost everyday, lots of you made great progress, I am very happy for you. It’s so moving this summer time for me, but I am happy that it’ll be over in a month. Now I return to the USMLE world. I promise that I won’t dissapper again.

Some of you suggest that we should post what we have done and when are we going to take the exam. I agree with that and I am looking forward to seeing that. I am done part (small part wink of the Biochemistry and I am planning to take the step 1 at the Spring time next year. Is anybody going to start a new subject? Or did anybody just start a new subject? I’d like do it with you.

now that i m thru i think i might as well squeeze out time fr some more lines...

well, i hav come to d end of my gruelling days. today is d last one so computer permitting, i'll get back to my regular posts frm tomorrow.
i had mentioned abt my frustration wth micro in d last post. well, u guys r my inspiration.
i look at coolsuch... MPH,job, thesis n MLEshocked
zade n lily...kids n a tiring jobconfused
new n lost... time constaints

n suddenly my problems appear to b of no consequence at all. i decided one thing
AS kaplan sez....""NO ONE'S GONNA GIVE U EXTRA CREDIT FR SUFFERING..... SO WHY SUFFER AT ALL?""
if i didnt have time to go into micro, i found another way out. i started doin biochem n genetics Qs n Qs on whatever lil micro i knew.
it has got me going again. i m all set to put in my best now.

Hey friends,
Good to have you all back. I was really missing all of you & felt bad scrolling down on the forum to find our coolsuch group somewhere among the lower mails.

You all really mean a lot friends.........Lily, Indidoc,new_lost,Zade,Keepgoing,Coolsuch and the others.

Yeah Indidoc.........you are right, Zade Lily Coolsuch New_lost are all really inspiring ppl. Even you Indidoc.......keeping up with all the stuff & night duties........thumbsup buddy.

New_lost............you will do it REAL GOOD.........I JUST KNOW YOU WILL DO IT WITH FLYING COLOURS........& deep within you know it very well too. So just go by your instincts & stop panicking friend ok. Take in some happy foods(a little icecream, chocolatebar) whenever you feel these panic attacks & you will feel good.


As far as i am concerned............sad
here's me: I am doing Behavioural sciences nowadays because may be i am a little fatigued right now , so i decided switching the subject. Another reason was, i REALLY NEEDED to do the remaining physio & tie loose ends as well. So i thought a light subject with the big gulp would work.
I will be finishing it on the 10 of september INSHALLAH INSHALLAH & will start with the next subject.

If you guys think this is a good pace.........thanks buddy for backing me up.......but deep within actually i think its not.I have my exam scheduled on the 30 of November.
Its just 3 months (infact less than that taking off the last few days). This is my first revision, i need atleast 2 more with the questions. I know Patho takes time at least 20 days.
I have Anatomy, Pharma, Pathology remaining and these are big giants. I am not even sure if anyone of you will be there doing them with me. So, basically i know where i am right now.
I cant write more for myself right now friends.But you are all in my prayers.
GL


  #362

Just 1 more thing.......Zade, Indidoc & others who are having trouble remembering all the crazy bugs. I would advise you guys to divide them in doing......lets say 5 bugs a day along with something. This will take a while but be persistent & Keep doing them with MRS on your side or maybe as your main book & you will be surprsied to see them turning into your friends.
GL again.

  #363

GooD

its really Good to see guys back n responding

Focus........ thanks buddy for the prayers n support. As for ur pace i will be very honest with u if u have Golyan it takes all abt a wk almost to finish up his lectures His audios r of Approxi 40hrs if u do 8 hrs a day u will be finished by a wk then if u add things from that POCKET Review of Robbins then nothing more than 2 wks n thats all n trust me this guy will make u finish pathology HIMSELF all u gotta do is listen to him. as for Pharma the best thing u can do is go thru different drugs while doing a Pathology associated Disease or when u r doing Micro then when u get to do Pharma as Subject it takes far less time than expected n Trust me PHARMA N MICRO r things of repitition. there is no way u can do them in one seesion. START DOING QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW its the easiest way to know whether u have mastered the topic or not. u have got one whole month ahead of u to finish ur first read easily manageble. then 2 whole mnths to revise on different topics

Keepgoing...... U r right maybe i was Panicking cos cant help it. this exam is really taking a toll on mental reserves.

Indi............ Welcome back buddy. its good to have u back from Causalty

Zade............. Keep it up! u have been really an inspiration to us all

for the REst of u Guys where r u pp

TC n GL

Sorry that knock a wrong key before finish.

I can't do the neuroanatomy since I packed and shipped my HY neuroanatomy , I thought I won't use it in a month. sad So, I'll start microbiology with indidoc1, I am scared with micro since there are tons of new words that i never see before, I'll take focusmle's advice, divide them and meanwhile try to finish the bioche.

Indidoc, what's your plan about the mico? please let me know.

Zade, coolsuch, thank you very much for your PM.

Best wishes to everyboy!

Hi:

It is good 2 c u guys posting. Where is Novak? Still missing in action??

Thanx to u all 4 ur comments,

Lily:I am slo doing micro, jsut finishing up bacterias using KLN and MMRS. I like MMRS cos it is really ridiculously simple. KLN is full of information. Being an old graduate this combination does the trick.

Coolsuch: ur last post was Aug 28, we r in September now!!!nodnodnod

New n lost: keep up the good work.U might still be fairly new but u r no longer cost. GL.

To every1 else: keep on trucking. Study hard.

TC & GL 2 u all.

new n lost.. its gr8 fr me to b back too. missed u all a lot.

lily.. good! seems ur studies r gonna b on song soon. u r coming into form. gr8 to start micro wth u. i'll keep posting my daily progress. u too keep posting n share wth me any study tactic or plan u want to try out. i m starting out wth bacteria n plan to do them in 2-3 days.
n though it ws a typo.. thanx fr d good wishes to "every boysticking out tongue" grin

keep up d good work zade . we'll do micro, do it well n do it quickly toonod just have lots of faith n stay focussed.

now, coolsuch's not posting but i know she's there with us all. she's d captain... d BOSS.

just give her some time n d tigress will jump out of d bushesgrin
