My exam is going to be in february. and for new years i am visiting my family for a week... so at those times i think just early morning studying. I have maybe 2 - 3 hours of studying...and then I have to cook. so I am off.. il catch up with you all later.

sigh......... nothing done,..... i watched TV,,,and then cooked by the time my husband comes home from work.
This is disappointing for me... I dont know what is wrong with me.
This is not me. I am usually driven. I am worried.
I know time is running out....and I am a coward to face the music.
Its almost like i lost my will power. Although I still have my dream...many.
maybe tomorrow I will study at the library. I think that is better for me. I need to just start...again...once I start.. i keep rolling.
just got to take charge.

well...today i decided to get out of the house and sit at a coffee shop. I have my ear plugs on and so far..its kinda slow...but its WAY better than me sitting at home. I think I just need to be around people instead of sitting at home. after I get tired of being here...il change locations.
my preperation is behind schedule, but I realize I have to do this...for me... for my parents...for my family...and for all the people who I am going to use my knowledge for... I have big dreams... not to make money and live it up... but to be of use to society ... humanity. ... and last night while I was laying in bed, I realized its important for me to pass this exam...not just to get on with my life...and not just to get residency... but much more to do all those things like visiting the poor...and extending my help to lots of people ...i realized I have goal that is much more than just me. and to attain that I must start with small steps.. one at a time.. and Thank God its not too late for me. So i study today with a new outlook on things...to learn and to enjoy it...I hope this epiphany lasts till the day of the exam.  ...
sometimes we loose sight of the mission...of the big picture..and I think for a few days I been lost in the stress of it all. But I am glad to be back..and I hope to aim high. I hope to be all that I am meant to be and do the best I can do in everything. May God be with us all as only we can know the pains of going forward...but in the end of it all...it is a lifetime of rewards.

Hi,
We all in same boat. Been very hard study then stop suddenly for no reason, now not much starting yet.
By reading all here, make all of us, it is to use your education, experience to help the sick especially poor one.So to do so need to pass the exams.
GL to all
ps, to avoid TV, hide the remote & do not start to open ,turn on the TV at all.I am working on it too. Remember if not start the TV or internet at all & sit with the books open at the front of you, then you will sail nice & smooth even forget the time pass & have to eat.

hi everyone,
Sorry for missing in action for sometime. I was thinking to myself, i am probably just wasting time and preventing studying by writing here. But you know I realized....its encouraging to share your downs and ups when you study. Yes I was suppose to take my exam in feb...but sadly I moved it to march 28th.... I still have some studying to do...i plan on starting the qbank and usmleworld on feb 28th.
Today has been a bad day to study, had a argument with my husband and messed up my day. I woke up earlyand was all ready to finish up cardio drugs and do pulm but ...sigh.. i guess its part of life.
Its hard when you got to cook and clean and study....but then who am i to complain... i remember the times when i was with my parents and all i had to do was study..oh how we only value the things we have once its gone.
Anyway, I am just going to finish up the drugs for cardio and do pulm tomorrow. This is taking a long time because now i am going through it second time and memorizing and incoporating first aid.
I do not have much time, but i am planing to take one day at a time.
plus i realize bad days and good days are ahead...its not a excuse to stop studying. Done that all this time... time to get over it and focus on the goal. Life comes at you, its how to react to it that matters.
Goodnight all...hope to come visit often
I am glad I got people who understand, since I live in a city where i do not know anyone who is in my boat.!!!...toodles.

hey janaki
thanks for the advice. Today has been a good day. I just try to stay focused and do whatever i got to do inorder to stay away from moodiness, arguments etc.
as far as king of queens go... its one of my fav's ........problem is if i turn it on ...there is no sure way to knw when i will turn the tv off. But you are right.. just laughter helps. anyway, i am off to keep working.
Got to cook today so have the day to do my studying.
the weather being nice helps a ton.
happy studying everyone ... enjoy it. dont dread it.

Hi!!...You are right, let's stop complainning and focus on the good things!
I also have times where I start to think, oh my God, so many years after med school, my friends are doing or have already finished residency, oh my god I don't even have a boyfriend, when I am going to start dating jajaja, I am too old to do night shifts, etc. BUT!..I try not to think of this and just focuse on my GOAL!! First things first, and right now, the first thing is passing USMLE step 1...!
GOOD LUCK AND KEEP POSTING!
