Keep going: had to keep an appointment today and then found out that an outlet mall was very close by.So ended up spending some time there.Just got back.Am a bit Knachered but I dont want to let this day go wasted so plan to rest a bit drink some tea and get cracking.

Edie: I don't like cats. sad Do you?

Acintya: Yup u r to be blamed totally..:P I can see how easy it is to spiral towards not studying.But with all this support, If we don't do it now, when will we?

Afrocaribb: Thanks, I had fun yesterday and today too but now I will get cracking. We have to get back on track,

Smarty: You are the smart one wink :P So we should be following you.. smiling face

Glycogen: I am well thanks how are u?


  #177

Hi Medoc! How did shopping go, did you treat yourself to something nice?

Yes, I love cats smiling face

What's the plan for today?



  #178

Yes I did actually Edie for no reason at all I bought me a top and a track suit. Now I better work out and look pretty in the top. :P

Today's plan..I think I will do 3 hours Physio tapes and 3 hours Imuuno tapes.
150 questions.I have a back log from 2 days.
FA I Immuno or Pharma or some big chunk.

There is a lot I need to cover today.I shall get some tea and get cracking.


  #179

hey, there...how is physio and immuno coming, u seem to be getting a lot done today, back with full force thats what ill call it....keep going with it, ur commitment is def going to pay off.....doesnt it just feel good to encourage others, it also encourages me...i guess im just a bit hyper this morning, maybe its the caffine, so im going to go direct that energy into some work and see how far i can go today....happy studying !smiling face

  #180

Heyy medocuk....yeah you deserve a small treat for all the effort you are putting in. Good luck with today's plans!

Totally agree with you Afc...its my dose of multivits everyday!

  #182

I am entering my third day of not studying.Now I know why people don't take breaks.I was doing so well and now I am totally off track. I have lost so much time that now I dont know where to start and where to end. I hate this feeling. I have so many distractions coming up that right now I can't afford to be doing exactly what I am doing.

I feel bad I haven't been going to anyone's journals. I feel like I shouldn't. I am scared it will make me feel even worse.May be it will motivate me but then it will always remind me how out of the loop I am.

My study partner has contacted me twice and I don't think I am ready for her today either.I don't want her to think I am no longer interested as we were doing so well.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Whats worse, one of my dogs got a bit sick.He is sooooooo old and he never complains.But I know he is suffering. I get a lil sad not being able to give him as much attention.

Anyway I want to get cracking.I think I will say hi to my buddies and get started.


  #183

Afro: I didnt do anything so far..sad

Acintya: I think I will come around for my dose too.I so need a push right now.

Glycogen: I hope you had a better day than me.


  #184

hey medocuk, im sorry u had a bad day, it happens, besides its always difficult getting back to study after u take a day or 2 off, im sure u will come right back soon, u should relax sometimes its just stress that makes us soo distracted. Find something that inspires u and read it or someone and talk to that person, get a good nites sleep and then start off tomorrow.... ill check up on u and see how ur doing, mean while relaxsmiling face

see u tomorrow.

  #185

Mdu,

Few days off is good , but be sure back to where you stop, not new one, then you will not lost. It happened to me too, when lost pick up any or, just Papi then you will be studying again with him or any. At least you'll be studying. that is why good to have him speak to you even a little on the break day .nod

Sorry to hear about your doggy .
Your plan 3 hr physio, 3 hr other is good, just follow it.

GL

  #186

I am also sorry about your pooch. Excellent advice to heed comes from Shwe and Afrocaribb. Destress, refocus, and come back refreshed, renewed and excited again smiling face

  #187

Md,

Tea, not coffee on your table raised eyebrow

Just kidding if can get our own style tea back home, definately tea . But do not take too much, too strong leads to palpitation, racing ht beat.

Ac.. do as med school, we all do at least 6 to 7 yr with 1 yr intern, so now is nothing. By time we study with our head burnt , have so much fun too . So it works, now have to work too. Forget about age, we're more mature , so can do wiser, better .

Md, how's the doggy, likes in Grey Anatomy ??? , hope you will have your Mc Dreamy supporting you too.


Cheere up !!!, you still have healthy 3 , let the sick one get better if chance there & just do best as you could .
Wish you all well , get Papi listening to keep your mood up.

GL GL GL in every thing then to happy success study soon nodcoolnod

  #189

  #191

  #192

Hey guys thank you so much for checking on me.I was a little disappointed in myself and spiralling downwards.So decided to achieve some thing and come back only when I was worthy of all your attention. I really appreciate you guys being here for me.This has never been this good for me. Thanks again.

My dog is going better. They were away in the wild for a while so now the city is bothering them methinks. I have been taking them out for regular walks.They like it now and are doing better.

Afrocaribb: How are you? Im back mate. Thanks for checking on me.What's up with u? don't worry I will be around to check. I hope you have been good.

Shwehope99.: Hey that was great advice.Yeah I was a little lost yesterday but after what you said I went back to where I had stopped and I think I am finally on track.
No my dogs isn't like dog at all. That was his name in Grey's wasnt it.these fellas are old and one of them has a bad leg.They listen and are such darlings. I would settle for a Mcdreamy anytime though. wink

Edie: This is so much tougher than I thought I just some how spiralled downwards.Not again.I promise and kick me if I do this again.

Acintya: I promise I am back.Being away was so depressing. But I shall write my plan for today.Yes u too shud kick me. I think this time I need lots of kicking around.

Glycogen: Im here! Am going to check on u next.You had better been behaving.
