Hi everyone,

How do you guys do it?.I am going crazy here,a mixture of depression,frustration,confusion and anxiety.I have been studying since Jan and I feel like I don't know anything.Both my kids have had every bug in the book. A lot of domestic issues that have complicated my life since I started to study.Right now I have a bad cold headache and everything seems to be going wrong.I feel like crying.whats going on........maybe i'm losing itconfused

I feel sooo bad for being ungrateful,2 lovely kids a husband who is patient,kind and understanding,family that is hopeful for me,An MPH...what else?

I am so sorry God for being so ungrateful..Can someone share their experience with me or talk some sense into me. feel Rock bottom right now.hc

Mytime and others like you at this forum keep inspiring me to continue with the struggle, it will be worth it in the end.

So Cheers to all of us!! We shall OVERCOME! Some day! nodnod

Good luck!

I am back after a long break, but I am optimistic. I am going to be working hard for two years to get over with all usmle requirements.


My goal is to have step 1 test in january 2008, step2 in july 2008, CSA in october 2008 and step3 in january 2009 while waiting for the match.

Up till now I studied high yield histology, high yield anatomy, Board review series physiology, and working on board review biochemistry, and I have to finish it by May 15. After that I am working on embryology and first aid while ordering the other material..

Right now I am stay at home Mom, and I have two beautiful kids first and second grade. I never worked after grauation in1997, but I will find a part time job in a clinic or even volunteer right after I finish step 1 and step2 while preparing for CSA and step3...and while waiting for the match...If I got the match worked for me I will start internship in July 2009, or in worse cases wait for the following year. In case this happened I will spend the year doing research in the hospital or the clinic... That is the outline for my plan ahead...

For right now going back to biochemistry and the structure of amino acids.

Good luck to all

Hey shwe,
Hope you are all well by now. And hope to see you soon.
I just keep busy studying in library.I guess paying the fees and taking dates has rather made my family more serious about my studies and have started giving me ample of time to study....
I wish I should have taken the block quiet earlygringrin

  #169

Hi Um4,

Nice to hear from you. I am much much better & try not to catch more cold.grin

I agree , with fees , even for the course , then you'll get better study time than study home. Not too late sis, study hard then try some pre exm tests ahead, then see when the exm date should fix far or near .

GL GL GL happy success study to you, me, & all of us nodnod

Hi U4m,

What's plan for mother's day ?
Probably BBQ as our ways? or fall sideSmileyCentral.comSmileyCentral.com

Happy Mother's Day
nodnod



To mum.. ie to id with... Mommy [ mm ],

Check exm experinces & pick most common & things you like to order the study materials, every one is different, what I mentioned b4 is , just not to miss the common ones that almost every one is using.Even , some did not use the common one if they said are sincere.
But you're your own boss in your study , so choose best that good for you, just not too ways out from common ones.
Hope it helps.
Go to nearest book store, library, even free day at kaplan , so kap will tell you all webs, exm steps, etc allow you to taste their books, dvd, reference lib & vibes of the IMG, AMG studying there.
You might even find the partner from there. To attend it or not is your call .

Happy mother's day all mumsnodnod

GL happy success study to all of usnodcoolnod

Hey shwe thanks for the post in our regular world.....

Hmmm.....mother's day for me was nothing more than getting a card and hug that I love the best......
Other than that sadsad I was picking up weeds from my garden and doing more backyard cleaning!!!!!!!!!!! But you know what....I was missing my mom too much today. Though the bond between my mom and me has always been strong I feel I understand more after being a mom!!!!

  #175

How is everyone doing. I have been checking and nobody is writing. How is everybody progress. My kids are almost done with school and Daddy is spending more time with them. It is my chance now to concentrate.

Good luck studying
