Was listening to Uncle Goljan..he is a great teacher..but in the latter half of the day , I developed like my partner in crime, a headache with some other weird symptoms; so bade my goodbyes to Uncle Goljan for today @least. Shall try doing some patho memorization inshaALLAH!!!

We SIDETRACKED ...yet again [Good LORD] for a whole lot of precious time,in which we could have done soo much; but ALhamdolillah ,ALLAHMIAN instilled some much needed 'aqal' in us again.

We united again,this time to do start iwth BLOOD[Pharma]..did it really well alongwith additions in FA.Not just BLOOD pharma but its entire related pathophysio too from the related Kaplan & Goljan books.

Tomorrow's plan : DO as much as possible. To name some of it: Finish the last [6,7,8]sections of Pharma.Alhamdolillah we've already[2nd] read Phrama's 1st & 2nd sections;but we shall again give it a v thorough memorising ,inshaALLAH.

Hey Salmonella....YE DOSTI HUM NAHIN TORAINGAY< CHORAINGAY HUM AGAR TERA SAATH NA CHORAINGAY!!!!

May ALLAH be with us !!smiling face

  #45

Great journal by the way....have a quick question...whats time do you both start and end to make it 10hrs study days??..

  #46

No time setting at all. We try to study in every minute possible.Giving each other xtremely short breaks to receive a fone call, get lunch and stuff.
If we waste time in the morning, we try to compensate in the night....
Seriously, its not the hrs u study, its the QUALITY of study.....

Yesterday, studied all night...
Got up in the morn and have been studying till now....
about 8-9 hrs approx....still have stamina to do more and WILL do more inshAllah

Right now I am going to read FA & add up from Kaplan in it & memorise the today's work really well. Salm.would be doing the same tomorrow morning,we actually have a 2 hrs time difference b/w us.She is 2 hrs ahead of me.... ,after all this I shall definitely dive into my bed.

Allah mian be with us always,i love u LORD!!
