I am booking my exam tommorow.
I can't get myself to study biochem no matter how hard I motivate myself. Perhaps early morning awkanenings will help :P Sign of depression...hahahaha
No, I seriously need to get my act together. Have been studying but not as hard I should be. Pathology is never done I suppose. I am reading Kaplan internal medicine notes to motivate myself into reading pharma and Patho.
I am attempting Physiology now the second time around.
Sorry about delay in posting....

I am currently doing immunology. Have finished half of it. Most likely plan to finish the other half sometime today and tommorow. I am so unmotivated at the moment. I wish I was more motivated.
God please help me.

Well I have good news!
I have managed to go through Kaplan immuno once! Nice! I have started my second reading of subjects today! So God willing this month will be productive. Cannot slack off anymore. Am writting the blasted thing in feb. Booked and all.
So yes
Here is my schedule:
1) Micro by Sunday i.e. this sunday the 3rd.
2) Immuno by 5th
3) Biochem by 9th
4) Anat by 14th
5) I have left 15 and 16 empty jus in case
6) Physio by 21
7) Pharm by 25th
8) Then I am taking a break till the 30th and going away will take Behavioral with me and read it if time permits
My plan is also to do 50 questions frm Kaplan review book every night when I am really really tired.
That is it for December folks. Hopefully goes well!
In January doing the Q bank along with review the 3rd time....
And then review for a week or so before go and write this exam!
Nothing is going to stop me now.
Good luck keep going! I am doing path along with this stuff....so have left it kind of in the back seat.

I regret to inform my log that I wasnt able to finish micro today. The plan was to finish it today but I got caught up listening to Golgan audio for CVS. I did manage to get in 6 hrs for the last three days but I feel 6 hours are not enough.
I did 25 questions from Q book like you suggested mytime. Bad results so got discouraged. But it did open my eyes to focus a bit more. Will go over answeres tmr morning and do more questions. I have been doing RROP but it seems like I keep forgetting things.
Anyhow will start immuno tmr. Also plan to keep reading micro along with it. Need to focus on immuno since I feel it keeps coming up a lot in diff forms.
I have given myself 2 days for immuno which I feel is a bit ambitious but we will see.
All right now off to bed.
Happy studying!

Thanks GG and Mytime. Your guys words helped me carry on.
I have extended my time for micro and immuno. I will continue it till the 8th.
Today I read 50 pages of immuno. It was good in terms of reading it the second time so soon after my first reading, lots of things made sense. I also looked at the answers for the 25 questions I did in path and then did 25 more questions. Looked at half of the answers. Will continue with that tmr.
I also started looking at FA for Micro/immuno. Need to focus and get things really in my mind.
Tmr Goal is to read 100 pages instead of just 50. Should happen if I do a bit more work. I guess I need to increase the number of hours I study or something. 6 hours is not enough for me anyway. I seem to read 10 pages/hour.
Anyhow December 6th that is tmr for me:
100 pages: 50 immuno, 50 micro
Look @ answers 4 path and do another set of 25 questions.
Will look @ FA on the side.
I know this is a bit ambitious again but I will try to do this.
Thanks for all your support people cause without you it wouldn't happen.
Happy Studying!

Now I will do path 50 questions tmr and try to do 100 pages instead of 70.
WIll report back tmr then.
Good luck!

Hey Keepgoing 
Yes I am only using kaplan books for all subjects except behavioral and path for those I am using BRS. Also I have high yield for neuro and BRS for neuro physiology.
Today progress:
Its 12:34am so I guess its not today anymore. Anyhow managed to get in 8 hours of solid work I think.
Did 80 pages instead of 100 I promised myself but I feel good about it since I improved the number from yesterday by 10. Also managed to do 25 question from path with answeres. I write the answers down so takes a bit long.
So basically my second reading for immuno is almost complete. I have 20 pages left and Micro I will try to do mostly tmr along with 25 questions from path.
So long people. I need to sleep. Have clinics tmr morning. Don't know I will make them tmr though.
Happy studying!

Hello Log,
So I finsihed Immuno the second time around. Sometimes I wonder why it took me so long to get into it. It is actually a fun subject. Mirco I have sompleted parts of it the second time around. Need to a do a bit more in that arena. I have started Kaplan anatomy today. It is 500 pages long 
I have read anatomy before but it was from high yeild here and there. So bacially I am going to try to do anatomy by 13th. Do the frist 300 pages from Kaplan and do neuro from high yeild.
Hopefully I can finish this goal. On the side I am doing pathophysiology questions from kaplan Q book. So I did a second batch after doing the first one. Did really bad on the first one and now the second one wansn't great but I improved. So I think with pathology my problem is recal more than knowledge. So will continue doing more questions.
Today's Goal:
Anatomy: Finish Histology and Cytology (93 pages)
Path: 50 questions and look @ the answers for the last 25
If I have time I might do micro a little :S So now Micro has been left over agian. Sucks.
That is all for now people. I have done 2 hours of work and am falling asleep. Cannot sleep!
Happy studying!

Ok,
So Saturday was a very bad day for me. Emotional problems. Only did 30 pages of anatomy. Not good work at all. So today I have gone over the questions from path I did earlier. Have done 50 more questions. Will go over answers soon. Did really bad on the questions but that's no biggie cause haven't reviewed path in a long time. Should be doing better though. Anyhow am trying to catch up with my anatomy reading.
I wish people didn't exisit especially the ones who get so dramatic over little things. Life would be so much simpler if there were no emotional issues. I guess that is not possible.
