53 days.......
today was a lousy day ,in the sense that i didnt study and stayed at home most of time.did cooking for the entire week.my hubby is not picky abt food so that is a big support.
today i started mol. biology and genetics......my weakest points.started by reading the 5th chapter.coz previously i thought its not imp...but now whn i see the qts i realize it.next am going to see few related qts. and complete a chapter bfr sleeping.
i plan on waking up at 6am from tues.i never ever compromise on sleep coz it drastically effects my conc. and effeciency.
ok so get going.i think i'll need 1 more day with this.but lets assess tomm night.
bye for now.

dear step 12006,am sorry i dont 've any saved website as such,but if u search in google images with the muscle name u'll get the thing u need.try it once i think u'll figure it out urself.
am doing mol. biology today. finished biochem starting chapters .
now moving on to genetics.
for mol. biology am a little confused.i dont understand the sub that well.but i wont say i didnt improve after reading .i did qts from Q-bank,i think i'll just keep doing qts.and reffering relevent topics in the book everytime i do a wrong Qt.
genetis is confusing for me.but i gotta do it.
AND NOT PANIK.
anyway keepstudying and think positive.

49 days...nerve racking
doing micro.i need a lot of revision and a lot of memorization in that subject.i have to complete it by today. tom will take up pharmac.
in the begining of micro i was very depressed,then int he second reading did good. although there r points i keep forgetting coz i am memorizing more coz i dont find anything i can understand in micro.same with pharmac.they r not like patho .i think a lot of medicine is memorirazion......or should i say understanding and remembering.
anyway.am trying to keep my efficiency high and not to fall asleep in afternoons as now i've started waking up early.its been 3 days now and i still feel sleepy.dear body get used to it soon.
ok dear back to study.49 days more

i did pharmac leftovers,and just coz i had done only 100 qts,i did 1 bolck and got 59%.just day bfr yest i got 76%.how does it varry so much.am disappointed in myself.i keep telling its not for my judgement.but it feels really bad to score low just 46 days bfr the exam.this is really depressing.
am going to do physio now.
the tension of exams is catching up,am spending less time studying seriously and more time worring about it.it kills the enthusiasm and drains all energy.if i keep up this pattern its gonna ruin all the months labour

It used to happen to me all the times and then realised it's really not helping me .Still happens when i get lower scores than before .Those palpitations and then you feel down for rest of the day .You feel it's really hard and don't know how others do it .
I think it is part of the game .Try to stay as positive as you can . i freaked out and delayed my date .I don't think that helped me .Write some positive thoughts and paste them around your study area .When you get low scores ,just read them all ,take a deep breath and think how you would like to remedy the mistakes .This is starting to help me .Hope it helps you as well .
Just remember that every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward .
You will do well .

Good going smal .I like the schedule .I hope we keep each other motivated and find inspiration from all the people working so hard here You have come a long way and now probably is most critical time .for us .What determines the score is probably how much confidence we have in ourselves .Have you ever noticed people who make it to 99 are always very optimistic
That's what i noticed in exam experiences and started to change my outlook .
