Everyone around me is studying and stuyding and I am thinking and rationalizing another way to pick up the step 1 materials. can't i watch tv, buy a dvd, read a novel, or pet the cat instead? no i must keep telling myself. hopefully by checking in periodically and by actually see some progress of hours tabulated or topics glanced at, i can motivate myself. i feel like this is a new year's resolution: I must study, I must study. I must convince myself that I isolated myself from my family to study and pass the step and not hang out and go surf the net. of course i made this resolution 2 hours before it is bedtime. however, i will do something and report back again before bed tomorrow the work in progress.
I MUST SUCCEED CAUSE FAILURE SUCKS

Think of the reasons why you want to give this exam, and why you want to pass this exam. Will it make a difference in your life? Im sure it will. A huge difference!!
Now, reading a novel, buying a dvd, watching tv and petting youre cat are all feel good things, but will they change your life significantly? Probably not.
You will succeed because you came as far as making a post and trying to make a commitment. Just focus on your goals and you will get through!!  Dont lose hope!
GOOD LUCK!!

I have been studying physiology now in the kaplan program that I am in. I swear, I did not learn half of this stuff in the detail that is needed for the step. I have to say that the information is quite interesting. I am trying to keep my optimism up and seeing this whole experience as a challenge. I am feeling more optimistic and praying more. Only the lord doesn't mind all of my whining.
lol
good luck everyone

I am increasingly more motivated these days. I am studying endocrine physio now.
i finally am understanding the deficiency pathways of the adrenal gland. they keep telling us in kaplan to use logic to figure out stuff and not straight memoryl. my spirits are up, especially since i have been reading the exam experiences lately.
i am feeling more confident with my increased level of studying.
funny how that works

after reading tolito's log/exam experience and the ever diligent smarty, i decided to do more than average passive studying for the step. kaplan is a really nice program if you work it not attend classes like a drone. anyways.
i am working on behavioral now. i need to take my assessment in behavioral. i am probably going to take it sunday morning or whenever the center opens. i am sooo behind. we did anatomy and physio already and i can't remember either with the detail i need too. i did all of the behavioral questions on q bank and i plan on doing all of them in the book today and tomorrow. i am leaving most of the biostatistics until tonite and some more tomorrow. i have to watch the video of biostatistics since i seem not to grasp the concepts well.
we have started on biochem, not a strength for me but it will be in the next two weeks
i will keep you posted ie i will work hard
