Hi Goodyear and Vallia .... gosh, I can't sleep I am thinking a lot about my family, Vallia you are right, we can't be postponing the dates and we should just do our very best for the dates we have planned for so many reasons;, for example I plan to take it the 1st week of november, can't do it before because papers problems, but even sometimes I think, will that time be enough? I really hate myself when I find myself wasting valuable time. My family needs me more than ever and there is no excuse for me to waste any more time, having friends is nice but sometimes It's time consuming, specially when we take too much time talking about non-step1 stuff; so I decided to be a little schyzoid these 2 months left and just focus on my step1 material, if is there any chat, gotta be about step1 stuff, sorry, can't afford to prolong this agony.

Vallia, Goodyear, we can do this, let's focus and try even harder and let's feel very proud of ourselves at the end of each day, finishing our planned topics and doing many mcq's. Great to have you around guys .

Since I can't sleep I will be watching some Patho, a friend of mine told me, "From now on, everytime you feel depressed, eiher workout or study your favorite step1 subject, both will make you feel better about yourself", gosh it makes sense, so I am gonna apply that from now on wink. Good night guys

36 days left before my test!!

Can't get up last night.. i feel oozy..
Woke up late this am 6:30 am. Taking advantage that my family's still asleep, no
get me this, get me that yet, if you know what I mean.

Okay.. I promise myself this would be another productive, fruitful, day!
Plan:
Do another 150 Q's, finish up Patho, start Pharma ...
I should finish Kap Qbank by the 13th, Wednesday... then start UW. I would still have time to revise KapQ bank mistakes... I try not to get overwhelmed. STUDYING IS MY PASSION!!!
In order to achieve what I want work harder... understand concepts... memorize stuff
that twirls my mind.. learn 2/3 step q type. Study common physio & biostat graphs &
computations... the list will be unending.. bottom line.. STUDY MORE as if your books is one of your kids...needs a LOT OF ATTENTION!!!

HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY evryone!!

Goodyear, 36 days left? Oh my gosh!, buddy, sweat it off as never ever, you are doing great just keep it at steady state ok. Sending you positive energies, You can do this buddy, keep going wink

  #49

hey musuq, thanks.
it looks like I have to move my exam for family reason. I'll see if I can move it for another week. Anyways things were slow for me. I have not finished Patho, got to do Pharma & Physio... still lots of work, reading questions qbank.. whooo... I can't feel overwhelmed these days... I can do it!! Iwill do it!!! I am good!!!!
Just increasing my spirits here... it's nerve wrenching.. but I can do it.



  #50

Goodyear, of course you can do it, remember this is your good year so do your best to have a big big reason to celebrate before this 2006 is voer, I plan to do the same. Keep up budy.

  #51

It was a very productive day yesterday. i finished FA patho... & did 50q's only. I had time to listen to Goljan lecture again for an hour..I also started Pharma. Got to memorize the drug's MOA & side effects too. So Ill use Kap q's as a guide for that as well as FA. So as of today Pharma.. Kap Q's & continue Goljan lecture. It really helps a lot if I go to the library. so that works for me. I hope to be very motivated til the end of my review.
Please help us LORD...

  #52

Did vgood today. I just started doing Kap q's tonight. Hopefully I can stay up late for 150Q's. I am drinking Red Bull just to keep me awake. Kay...
Have good night studying...forum people..

  #53

There are days that i am not that motivated Oh lord. please help me, help us who are striving hard to pass this test. Amen..
Good Morning to all. I hope to be productive today. feel a little slow & low.

  #54

goodyear the same here, I am feeling a bit slow and low, the kind that you don't want to come out of bed in the morning, :-), but hey I keep telling myself that we should bare just a little bit more and we don't wanna have any regrets later like, I wish I had used my time better ...So I wish you a productive energetic full day. we can do it:-).

  #55

thanks khorshid. i guess there are days like this but sometimes it's brought by unmotivated & getting negative people. I decided not to talk w/ a friend for amonth, he' also preparing for an exam but everytime I talk to him he says it's almost impossible to pass after all, 7 that he's not going to understand physio...etc etc. it brings me down too at times bec I am honestly more of an optimistic person but when you hear people & you advise them & don't listen it bugs me. So my spouse said not to talk to him for a month or til after my test so I won't get affected in some ways. Today is my "out of my mind" day I think. i'm bugged w/ lazy syndrome & nervousness syndrome. I will try to fight it off.. I hope to feel better & be productive anyhow. I just stayed home today & did not go to the library...

HML..

  #56

yeahhhh, it's good there's prepforum journal. i can lay out all my insecurities in studying & as much as I want to, laying out my success also later... in this forum.
thankful for my morning. i started late 10:00am now done at 2pm. Got to do main responsibility. pick up kids fr school , cook, help w/ homeworks, settle down.etc..etc.
I was done w/ 100q's for this slot , gegegege got 75%, but get 27% from genetics& Immuno... gets 100% w/ Patho but bec of the low scores it pulls my average down.. Yaaa I can't afford that!!!
So we need to focus more.... I think a pure good luck is also needed in this test bec. what if all of the things I don't know comes out .... I hope also that w/ hard work plus bunch of good luck( that is.. all of the things I know would come out in my exam!!!)
will serve us all to do great!! RIGHT???

  #57

Goodyear, I don't know if anybody can feel 100% happy with the accomplishments of the day? don't beat yourself up sweetie, I know we can always do better but sometimes as women we have other responsabilities to face day a day, you are doing great buddy, keep the Stamina up and accomplish your goals everyday. Good luck smiling face

  #58
