thanks for dropping by robin
somehow i am not finding psychiatry difficult.. its going quick,, its interesting
but my idea of doing questions on IM GIT didint work out
i tried to do qs from harrisons self assesment and found it overwhelming...i think i am not ready for it yet..so i stopped it..
now i have decided to do my second reading of kaplan IM becuase i dont think i can remember much from the first read..i feel if i do a through second read with emphasis on my weak areas( i know what they r !!!) and understanding concepts then i would be in a better position to do questions.. i might have to read few topics here and there from CMDT.. to brush up my concepts.
i feel there is no point in me rushing to do questions when i have not memorized the IM stuff properlly...i think i will get frustated if i do questions now
also i bought pretest IM and peds today , still in a dilemma whether it was good decision or not, anyway i thought atleast for the money i am spending( not mine , my parents!!!) i will get serious abt studies.
i am thinking i will use them to reinforce /revise /recall the kaplan stuff
after my second read of kaplan i will subscribe to uw
I started to revise IM cvs today and gosh!!!! i was feeling so damn bored to study.. 
i cant understand why ??? is it laziness or just lack of motivation or bored ..i dont know
just felt so frustated with myself , i am just venting here now
i never make a timetable becuase i never follow it, actually i think subconsuiously i am scared that i would get tensed if i dont stick to it so i never make one
but i think its time i push myself hard ,i will start with small plans so that i stick to it
okay
revise IM by 24 march
i have to do this
i will do it
god give me the strength ,

its been 5days since i posted. i kind of went into a deep depression when i started to do my second read ,
i started with CVS and my mood just went flat
i couldnt remember much and i got tensed how long will it be before i finish the whole book
finally yesaterday i managed to pull myself out of my misery and got back into study mood, managed to finish less than half of CVS .also i had not read RESP , which i finished
thats all i could do
todays goal is to finish inf diseases and start endocrine

my preparation is all over the place
i guess i overestimated myself, i have lots of gaps in memory, i have to refresh so many basic concepts
the secodn read is going to be really long
but i will do what it takes to absorb all the basic concepts
i started infectious diseases, revised little bit of cvs, then decided to read CMDT for a bit just to refresh my knowledge
got to speed up

so far finished endo and pulmonology, and now doing infec dis ( these 3 chapters i had not done in my first round), also read a little of CMDT and cvs
very very slow
hardly doing 3-4 hrs per day
i guess i was tensed and simply rushing through earlier like 20-30 pages a day
now i feel less tensed since slowly i am realising my weak areas
i guess plain reading without retaining much will not help me in long run
for me second read will have to abt absorbing concepts and a thorough one
but i have put in more productive hrs per day than what i am doing now ,
from now on i will post even the number of hrs i study everyday, this way atleast i can keep track of myself
ok back to studies
