Hello Everyone: I am new to this forum and this is my first post. With all the information received from people, I am bit overwhelmed and confused. One thing that I know for sure is that I need Kaplan notes for Step 1 which I do not have. Thus, I would appreciate, if you would all be kind to advice me on the best way to preceed and the best way to optain the Kaplan notes and the Videos. Please note, that I am willing to pay for the material (notes/videos). Thank you in advance for your kind efforts. SS

see around urself.... aren't other ppl around u also chasing something? ( this is the way I console myself... we r chasing our residency...while others something else.... but in truth everyone is running sfter something.. or else life will b very boring... When u dont have to do anything. Dont b so harsh on urslf ... take ur time ... n pay the price of residency... Me too not feeling any better than u... but I remijnd myslf I am not alone...there r many others with me feeling the same... struggling the same... I too just had to get all this out...since last 2 days trying to motivate myslf like this... lets c if I can study now... After giving yet another lecture to myself.. DOnt Mind all that.. I had to blurt it out somewhere...

Kity Thanks a lot it rally helps , when some else tells u , I am worried as i have kept My 2 boys , husband under lot of stress and i feel is it worth it , when i read your lecture i feel its true there is light at the end of the tunnel and we all can do it , just have to keep reminding ourself again and again , no other way. I did electrolytes q from uw and feel little better . going to do GU and try to read GU from kaplan > for me hardest is i cannot read on weekends and in the evenings as my children are home.
