its been a week of transformation fr me. i think i'm getting back into rhythm. i m behind my target of micro this week but its due to an unfortunate tragedy rather than lack of effort frm my side. i hv got a sort of final plan ready. i m not gonna push myself too much as i ws doing earlier. this time, consistency's gonna b my virtue. gonna concentrate on my initial idea of 30 pages @ 6 hours per day.

that'll give me 1st read in 80 days.
then i m gonna subscribe to Qbank n give a 2nd read in abt 40 days. A 3rd read in 20 days+ NBME n may be, if time permits... a 4th read

thats abt 140 days.. i look good fr jan end or beginning of feb n i hv gotta do it if i wanna hv any hope fr 2008 match.

i hv planned my work now.... lets see how i work my plan

ok ... d countdown begins.. 140 (80 fr 1st read)

report-studied 10 pages of micro in 2 hours... i think a good result after 4 hours of travel earlier in d day. 5 pages/hour... mmmm.. lets see if i cn better that 2mororaised eyebrow
but i'll definitely do more hours.

fr d time being... need some slleeeeeeeeeeeppppppcool

hey indidoc,
its been a week and u still havnt posted anything ,wasssupp???
u and jaide always disapear .hope u r doing well . how is micro and immuno treating u ??
good luck

  #43

he he he.. me n my disappearing act.grin

Countdown day 130(70 fr 1st read)- excluding 3 days unavoidable delay to avoid freaking myself out!!grin

i tried hard n have managed to succeed partly in my endeavours.
what i did ws breeze thru micro+immuno lects frm kaplan audio n read kaplan notes in a hurry. micro ws really bugging me so i thought may be a scanning read would ease up things n help me in retention. it has!!nod i find i have nearly doubled my speed. doing micro now @50 pages or more /daycool will finish it in another week or so... this time it ll be mastered. i cn feel retention n understanding improving all the time.

during these 10 days, i even dabbled into a bit of anat when i got tired of micro.. its next on my agenda after micro+immuno. i think n hope that it ll b a welcome change.. a bit of a rest fr my aching memory cellsgrin

a good experience i had in these days ws in surgery at d hospital. some residents were on leave so i ws asked to assist in a few surgeries. it ws quite a learning experience!!cool learnt a bit of techniques n got some orientation on a laparoscope.

well, medicine ll always remain my first love but surgery's not too bad either!!grin

Too bad though that i cant get a LoR fr these days... as officially, interns r not supposed to assist surgeries directly n alone.shaking head
