Concentrate , focus ... that is the key & actively participate when u study , wish in exm rm u can read out loud the Qs the way u read study with intonation , expression , loud at the important word , sentences , but nice flow & quick .. so the sense will come clearly , then , u will get all Qs 100% correct winkgrinsticking out tongue , hope am not too greedy since this is out last time in life learning basic Sc in depth or ever .. so i like to learn all well that will stay , make me understand , recall even in million yrs sticking out tongue

I wish all busy duty , spring hiccup of all sick , ill [ not yet , thnk God ] gone but am going to have good study days forever from now on , soon . nod

hi shwe.. how do you do it? you have been studying for a looong time. Wish you all the luck.

  #1307

thnx L 08 , well I wish I have been studying for LOOOG time as u think , that will b great . Thnx for the wish of luck .

Actually I have not study much as seriously due to my work , fm , etc , busy life , with all those while try to b sane ........
but try not to loose track so I decided last yr to start the journal to keep in touch in same prep crowd but have been through alot good , bad days , mostly helping out new frds , almost all become family .. that's the bonus also with seeing them success especially the one very close to me by hanging around with their study , give them a good close hand 24/7 while riding with their happiness .

So now this yr suppose to b my yr at start , but bad winter takes a toll on me , so I just try to take it as balance to b able to get in good shape , with work, study , fm .
So months wise seems long , but time I can get for study wise is not much in a day , not even daily due to my busy schedule .
But I never lost track , so am keep on going , my dream will b there , I just have to keep my study up in good spirit , mood .

Also find better way of study after observing , interacting , & participating in forum, frds on .. off line chat .......... thnx , u can say now am more experince than last yr in term of studying , how to since lucky to do few good prep as quick browse fr Qs , FA to etc .
So now I am better with make more sense when read the kap , RR etc .

L 08 , I have no choice , I still need to earn income so , as far as my study is continuous , not stop totally [ happen in past with hectic FT b4 ] , I know I will do it & do it great as long as with my eye not lost track & keep raeding , studying .

Off course , wish will have fancy life , that just sit tight home , do nothing, worry nothing , with food at my front when meal time .
Well , these r my past fancy life back in old place .
Do I reget , long for those life , not really , I am now more mature with balnacing life with study , fm, work etc so the journey seems long to others , but for me is too short , time goes by so quick b4 can do as most a sI like for all .. jobs, fm, study etc .
So hope this is the good yr for me to do most study to b done for this st 1 & so on .

Oh , u mean how do I do to b able to stay here still prep since seems long , it's easy .. if u really want to save life , enjoy .. b a Doc agian here , u will keep on study even few pages aday to have this exm done one day , so u will b still on track study to get ur goal done with success . also when not study do work I totally forget about study , do good work , when study same not think abt work at all .
Well in term of fm, outting , it depends with which group & also where , how the outting nature is .
So with fm .. either no study , have fun or fun with study same time .. by fl card, i pod even in amusment park .

Anyway , hope I clear ur wonder mind , how , why , am still here .
We all like to get it done with good score asap , but when things r beyond ur control, have to dance rt , along with it to get to the top success .wink no time to depress or upset , life is too shot , keep it up , study study while balance with fm , busy schedule , life , etc , even frds .

  #1308

Now I understand. Thanks for taking the time to write back. That's smart.
I can say You are my total opposite. I regret what I have done when it comes to my studies. I have tried the exam before and was just hoping to pass but still did not pass.
Now I am older and thinking of changing career but everytime I think about that the more I wanted to continue Medicine. My career's a mess right now and it's all my fault.
Now I am not as motivated as before. I was thinking..who in the world will hire me even if I pass with my history of failure in this exam.
Anyway.. keep doing what you're aiming for. GL!

Hi USV ... stop hating self after u have curse the whole world, psticking out tongueconfusedl spare me pl ,
means NOW ...
But , if u r not studying , pal will angry but will not hate u , curse ? sticking out tongue.. u though .

So stop hating self , done curse or not , start pick up any u like to study asap, how about Papi audio with another favorite subj .

4 mo with intense , wisely use hr of study u can easily did 2 read , 1st bit regular, 2nd with fast & Qs more , FA in any time u like , how about that . Even then u need u can extend few more wks etc as ur NBME is ur taste level coolwink
Do it now while things r better , graps the chance .

GAP , what gap .. only I kn is the nice dress or causal wear beautiful clothes they sell .. that's all I know .sticking out tongue
Huge gap .. u do not want to know mine or any one else , that will makes ur not so huge , but who r counting , important is counting effficient study hr & hr . nod

Hope this post makes u pick up the books now & study seriously . 4 mo is alot if u study seriously every hr u have .
Not let go the ambitions, dreams till u really try it , passed all then , no way after ages , but would it happen , after passed all & apply residency religiously winkgrin
Not heard about it , only see in some , stop applying after 1 or 2 yr . nod

Once , u or some one say that .. study like there is ...... no tomorrow ..[ sounds like Marsians r coming sadsticking out tongueconfused
so study .. study ....... & sleep , eat , study .. that's all .
Lots r doing study , work, child, husband , wife , inlaw , fm , relatives .. so if they can do that u , we all can do that too ........... eg .. too many to mentioned ....... like Feyza [ check her post .. she study 9 to 9 at library .. then after 9 pm pick up son , play with him few hr , clean house, cook at mid night then up early again .. ddi st 1 in 3 mo .. have fun with hub on some of the day .. movie , eating out ..] then , arlete [ also have children ] , much more etc.

So USV ........ like ufo .......... lets use time we have for studying .. no time to panic .......
Marsian [ just a joke .. ok, since .... we have another Mars mission here sticking out tongue]b4 show up at our door steps , lets study to b a Doc agian winknodgrin

Hope this will cheere u up sticking out tonguegrin

God help me ,. whole city is coughing , sneezing , running nose, no not the children.. adults , seriously .......... oh .. crap.. hope , I will not get hit by that bugs we do not know again ........ oh .. my itchy throat sadmadgrin

Hi Shwe! It's been ages since I've been here. Just that trying to juggle not one, but TWO exams is a lot harder than I thoughtshaking head. It's only this forum, and friends like you,smiling face that keep me going. I now sorta understand how it must be for you to handle home and work, not to mention your two boys! wink

Well, I really really want you to take good care of yourself. Drink lots of fluids, citrus stuff. It's not scientifically proven to improve colds, but it sure makes you feel better and fresh! nod

Everyone has ups and downs [and it's ok to whine sometimes!], just that the ups must out number the downs. Good luck at work, and get well soon!

Warm hug!smiling face [I hope that drove away some of the cold you were complaining about!]wink

Hi shwe,

Good to come back to your colorful journal . I am back from Chicago. I think it went well and but is sort of hard to predict till the results are actually in hand. I will post my experience soon. Thanks for your support and practice with me.

Dear fellow-friends of Shwe,

As you all know, our Shwe is one of the most hard-working people we know. She is also one of the most positive and helpful people around. She's always there, even when she's super-over-worked ar her work. She's been working too hard, and she's gone too long without a break, a real holiday.

How many of you feel that she should take one? Rather than work to the bone, and be forced to take rest by her body? I'd love to start a poll here, but obviously I can't, coz this is HER journal. Please leave a message if you think Shwe should not continue to be a non-stop work-horse, esp with no regular time to recharge.

Thanks a lot.

Paheli

Dear Shwe, Don't be mad at me. Maybe if we all say it, you may actually take a real holiday.

Enjoy your weekend, all! smiling face

Dear PHL ,

Thnx for the post re........... to get poll......... pushing shwe to get holiday . grin
Love to nod

I will b the 1st to vote for it , yes , she need the holidays ......... but how , what type..
like
1. stay home , no work days , study in am then outting after noon ...

2. get out of town for day trip ... a. shopping
b. sit on beach
c. go to the Fall
d. go to the show or movie [ how about indiana Jones or Sex & City ......... wear like them as 6 inch heel with short nice dress sticking out tongue ]
e. outting , whole day ... shopping, eating out .
f. in amusement park... have fun .. rides, water play, eating , watching show, walking in fesh air in the park ...........should b with i.pod old web prep lecture or golj audio , etc audio on or not ?

3. out of town few days , over night trip for sight seeing ?? with eating, shopping, stay relax in hotel in some of the days ?


After all those above , over all plan , she might really love to still read in am , where ever she is , in or out of town then really outting in afternoon or night .

Thnx sis , here is the start , yup , after at least 2 wk or more of ourturing self of over work [ not by choice, have no choice though , by helping out to get work done by giving a hand when the staffs needed , call for help urgently ] , now I realize that what's the point over work sad, my aim is sh b over study instead madgrinnod.
So will pray, wish , we will have more staffs , so I do not have to chip in for that extra days , which r my days for study & have fun after study to recharge my self .
