Hello,
I can relate to the cold weather, I leave by the ocean, although it is bright sunny always, now during winter is incredible chilly wind, gets under your dress...Brrrrr.....
My son is down with the bad cold, he could not sleep well last night ( that pictures my new avatar, how I feel in the mornings lately, once I will feel better , will change it to my old one). He constantly follows me to clean his little nose, or just to play with him, or only to check on me... So no studying again, in the evening I'm so exhausted,I found myself struggling to stay awake more than actually studying.
Well, take care and thanks for everything, you are a sweetheart.
Bye for now.

Dear GG,
MT is right, do not feel bad SIS GOODGIRL, it will not help. I've been there for past yrs, yrs sometimes like that, but not all the time. But no more down, since last few long good yrs, while raising them with my not that seriously serious study.By the way now I am serious.
Play with him, eat with him, after all , they are our motivation. We are here to try one more time of hardship of the intern, residency, med training life, tough exams to give them better life too.
Hug, & cheere to you.

Will see you tomorrow evening GG.

Dear Journal,
Like yesterday, after long hr. work today, no study yet. will try to catch up.
But old friend come say helloe, another med friend got post in differnt city I advice last yr, news`is from old friend non med on today. Happy , but wonder why the IMG itself not call me or mail me. Anyway, happy to help, advice one to get to MD here, does not matter get recognised or appreciated or not.
Sunday night after GG post, did managed to review, study histo, this time get v. clear concepts, understanding that kind of have the info stuck to the head. That's good right??

MT, abit confuse, thought all in other threads at path endo?? Will go there & ask more, some back to anatomy, sh I ?? Is that all groups are at system with all subj instead of path only. Indi Biochem, pharm Q seems all are in good last read/2nd read of all subj??? right. Hmm. well will come there & ask later, tomorrow.

winkgrin Good luck.

Hi ,

MT... good , you're welll back. Big Robbibs looks fine, good, but will keep as reference, since will read, listen all Mr. G , & MR. Barone. I like them both, especially if you see later in person. Thank you so much, I love Robbins all my life. will try to read after others. Re... Robbins R., cannot dl the reader , so new book will stay. Also the university has policy with few days R/T or no R/T if the review especially for exam, most is for USMLE. Quite a drawback for poor IMG like us. Also on that day that Robbins R. is the only copy, if not there order might takes long or might not be order at all sometimes.
It is just one University med book store in the big, world class city. Pity.

Indi.... pl do come remind me to keep it up.Thanks.
Re your avatar, you're welcome. Keep it up, the avatar too.

KG.... any time. GL GL GL.........& more. I do have a very god weekend, seeing alot of my med school, friends senior, junior & consultants & teachers too while having good food & good time.Weather are so sunny & mild both days too.grinnod

NnL , keep posting good Q. Thanks.
M, are you doing Anatomy too???
U, Focus, GBG have a good week ahead to you all & sis, friends& ME too.
If I miss any, let me know, but I am typing with my sleepy eyes 1:30 am, we loose 1 hr. today. ; {
Now I sound like all of you friends, sis. : }


Sorry about the whining.
Good morning smiling face

Time for bed.nodnod
Will continue the patho, anatomy with speed this time. By the way GI , not enjoyable as Endo. With GI hepato will also follow right MTTTTTT???

GG might try to clean the house[ do not over do, your house is your home , just put the smile on is enough to have buddy to feel home sweet home] for welcome home in next week Thur.
sis GG take the Thursday off , for as early Friday, family day.grin

Aim, buddy of anatomy right on.

  #95

Dear Journal,

New week, new Monday. Try to listen kap anatomy, so sleepy , so back to GI .
May be later , with more in study mode will do anatomy . Now just reply,reading post with GI
audio.Compare with monotonus anatomy, GI is v. interesting now, still not like endo though.


KG, thanks.

INDI....., don't get it wrong, yes , he is good looking, handsome, but what I meant was/is he is so alive, active like Dr. Fisher in live, person. He is not likes in DVD stay monotonus , still , not moving, but in person he is smiling, laughing, active, moving around, pay attention that you really get it or not, caring, interacting, & last not the least , he the one teachers come to teach you all he knows, does not matter the time limit, he will stretch it, extend it beyound the last min, yes , he ask few more minutes, but actually he teach good 30 to 45 min extra. All students are IMG & foreigners too.

MT , are you still in break. Send me the svhedule in system GI with what to read , Q, books. I only has 2nd latest BRS, some HY in anatomy, physio, behav.[has v. old Ganong
Katzung pharm cannot read , same problem as Robbins R.
Micro Levison/Jawartz is v. old one. Lippin biochem, pharm also v. old one.
Let me know, pm me what should I do.

CALL FOR HELP RE;WINAMP....
My winamp give me problem off & on, I reinstall after uninstall several times. Any PC genious, INDDDDDDDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII. No winamp, hard to hear Papi, though can use real & window media.

Dear Oldschool/olds & Dr.dream/dd,

Welcome, feel free to post, visit here. Do post your plan , is the start, what will you read, books, style, plan of exam month already mention , so June , close to mine & some also plan earlier or later than June.

TO OLDS...
for a start, can change your name to get more motivation, but ok if you likes it to work harder to remind yourself. Remember, at the start of my this journal, I said no. age, old young means nothing, just the no.
Ok , re your postponding to L,R, Centre ... it is 180 degree in let says in horizontal line. SO....you still have upper & lower half of 180 degree, totally 360 degree, so you did not miss any at all. Still complete 360 degree in circle. Just have to walk through that circle complete in start to end, needed repeating it in study,in order to not to repeat the exam.grin
As for eg above, you will see 2+2 not always equal to 4grin, means olds does not means , too late or hard to get residency. But good if can start study NOW, do not post pond ant more.
Be organized or not, if organize v. good, but we all knows how/what DRS are & their hand writing , still loves to do papers than PC or handheld organizer.

OK OLDS ...enough cit chat
Read mine & friends' posts & then FIRST..
write down in journal here if you like & also really ask for & collect all the materials you need to use.
Then start with any subj you like, sit tight, read , but will be tough to sit long at start. As soon as you are in flow, like river, or wind, no one can stop you at all. Oh do not forget to balance life, eat , sleep, family.I am starting with anatomy, for subj wise, then also doing some path side be side. Most of friends in system wise & done endo , now GI.
You do not have to follow any, your 1st read can be any you like, & change after few days or 1 or 2 weeks time the most. After stick with main plan, change minor only.

TO Dr.dream/DD,

Same as above. One more, you looks Ok, done alot. Post daily progress, plan, say which
books, materials will use, also subj or system wise etc. Feel free to post here too.
Re; down , no inspiration, do not want to study mood, it is our USMLE PMS, for boy or girl.It is norm, just do not let it hang onto you long, in that case come out, post, visit here, there & also others make you back to study mode, likes music, funny 30 min, even 1 hr show, exercise, food, stretching out or even a good quick nap with alarm to wake up or fruit or milk shake, fruit drink.
OK enough , even me like others we all have good & bad days, do more on good days to compansate bad days. i got that lesson from my beginning.
DD. we can boost up your MOTIVATION, but MORAL is yor own value, just be within norm acceptable moral of today society & your city, your culture, you will be OKgrin

GL GL GL happy success study to all of usnodnodcoolgrincoolnodwinksmiling face

You truly have an energy to write nice long post, me, dragging tonight and not feeling to post in my journal, the progress is slow. I can not wait till 15. March, when my son starts Daycare.

Just wanted to say hello, and that I'm watching you. Noticed you are still working on Anatomy! How come ? Is it so difficult?

Take care and hope by tomorrow the headache is gone and you will be back to normal . nodnodnod

Thanks GG, good to know you are watching me , please do. Need motivation, speed up come visit here, but not to follow me in progress. Not now, later.
Remember I got sick for good Feb, almost whole ,with me, then my son, then my tax etc which is still going on in tax stuff.
Anatomy, not difficult, just too boring, so now with the anatomy & patho both ,so I am still in anatomy & will not done soon, since on both anatomy & path. I am more active, productive that way of study both.grincoolnod

Headache have to go, thanks , with your word & since few minute pass midnight so, tiny headache only, your word helps, also med I took late evening & posting around also took my focus away from headache.

GG, slow or not at least you're still studying, thats good. Do not stop for day, few hr. fine. Look at me with sick 1st me, then son & everything have to stop for a while for the study. Now hard to restart & get to study in same mood, speed. I took this last week end off for friends & gathering, supports for them , also had have good food, time with all ages of DRs including my med school teachers, consultants, seniors.It is only happens one or few times in every few yrs , so me & hubby gives alot of the time for that.
GG, grap the opportunity of your boy going day care this week, study hard, fast on Fri, Sat, Sunday too. Do it beyond the target, so when your hubby back, you will have time for, with family.
GG, physio is taking long especially at the start than path. Been there before long ago.So it is not you it is the teacher & the book, pair with some subj you enjoy.
Hey... weather getting warm here now. For me back to study till I am sleepy.
Good Morning America, good night when I am going to bed.grincool
