its almost 12:30 here and i'm too sleepy to study any more.
progress so far: completed 80% of biochem + genetics revision. did not touch micro.
so overall an average day. hope tomorrow will be more productive.
goodnight everyone.

thats not bad at all - a subject like Biochem deserves atleast a day so congratulate yourself on your achievement and move on to Micro. Good luck!

whew!
ok guys, so far's progress is this: just completed revising biochem n genetics... its 3 pm here... now ill take lunch break
will start on micro after that... have no idea how much i'll be able to complete before i sleep tonight. ideally would be happy if i can complete micro n immuno today... but i know it's asking for too much... but no harm in wishing... 
to maana5: thanks for ur nice words. well i guess its not really about speed maana as much as its about how regularly we study... i've realized after observing lots of people preparing for usmle including myself that the trick to success in usmle is not how fast or slow one studies but how "regularly" we study which makes the eventual difference. so i started to post here to force myself to set goals and try my best to meet them each day. so far i've met my target on some days and fallen short on other days... but i've tried to keep trying regularly and that's what i'll try to continue doing though sometimes i feel i really need a break.
to jaide: thanks a lot. i'd be doing physio in 2-3 days as well. hope we can group up on that. in the meantime good luck to u. u are doing great and am glad that u have recovered from ur illness. hope to see u around more often now.
ok guys will be back after having lunch...

hi guys,
i couldn't report my progress yesterday as i had to put my books away to attend to a family matter that keeps cropping up every now and then... anyways for now i have taken care of it, and am now going to get back to micro.
so far the progress has been much slower than i had predicted in my mind but i'll try harder to pick up some speed today...
so starting with micro/immuno...
to vallia: thanks for ur encouragement. words of inspiritation are so valuable during a struggle as this. good luck to u too...
to zenith: thanks for keeping me in ur prayers. u, target, seems, unique and jaide are in my prayers too...happy studying....

ok... its almost 11:45 pm here and time for me to hit the bed.
progress so far: completed todays target.
starting with pharma revision tomorrow.
to unique: well first of all i feel ILs are sheer memorization and there is not much understanding to them though u could try cramming all ILs in one go or could try breaking them in 3-4 groups and then memorizing them sequentially. like in group one the most imp ones... IL1, IL2, IL4, IL5 and IL8. Then IL3 and IL10. Finally IL6 and IL12. You could try making flash cards for them and carry them around. But the main point here being that when it comes to ILs one must memorize them, either in one go or gradually... hope that helps... anyways have a great vacation!
