thanks unique.ineeded to hear that.
its 11 am here and i havent done anything.well some .i had to reanalyse my study plan.and this is what i ahve decided.
i will not be able to study for the next 2 hours and when i come back at 12:30nice and rested,i will start neoplasia again and remind myself again that its the quality not the quantityof pages& that I have to complete a chapter fully before moving on and stop feeling guilty when i CANNOT ANSWER A QUESTION.
I hit a road block after realising that not all chapters are covered by goljan ..so I WILL USE KAPLAN VIDEOS FOR THOSE CHAPTERS.AND MOVE ON
WILL REPORT AS SOON AS I COME IN BACK TO STUDY.I ALSO NEED TO SLEEP MORE HOURS.LAST NIGHT---->4 HOURS.NO WONDER I am so groggy.

good morning.
i second guess my self a lot.during my first read i put in a lot of time and effort and understand it .couple of chapters later,i wonder if i still reamember the old chaptedrs and i go back to do them over again.i guess i have an OCD of sortsdisapproval
SO AFTER THIS DIAGNOIS AND REVELATION,i decided to just do questions and lean from that.i did nutrition and i knew it then ...time to test it.
today just questions(200)UW AND RYPINS and pply enviro path and TOMMOROW heme!!!!
later gators
hang in there and we can alllllll do this

  #8

its 12 30 pm here.and i have been doing questions..and guss how many so far--50.UW is kicking my butt so i am tutor mode ,studying the questions and feeling depressed.
but i can so i will..and i will
break time and then study some more.

  #9

when i study i like to test my kowledge of that chapter when i am done.i get really frustrated when i cant find good clinical questions.online banks dont have the option of doing them chapter vise and they throw me off.
so i got myself a copy of robbins question book>>1100 questions and i am doing them right now.
i feel much better now.
tommorow is saturday.sleep late,and then run some errands.then i will DO QUESTIONS..150 OF THEM.I WILL I CAN .
GOODNIGHT ALL

  #10

i hate weekends and trying to grt back into the studying mode on mondays is realllly hard .i could cry now .my heart is in the right place but my brain does not want to listen.
i had a totally non productive week end and i am soo frustrated.
i am so fried.


  #11

i am feeling soo depressed. i have lost hope how am i supposed to remember all these small facts.random names markers.i am sad upset and i just want to bury my head somewhere and sleep for the next 5 years ....

  #12

Wake up, get over the depression! It will not help you and neither make to remember more ! You can not remember bc you feel down! Get over it, Right now ! Solve the problem which makes you sad and move on. Play your favorite music lound so the walls are shaking( can you feel a positive vibes ?), go for jog tomorrow ( even you never did before, but why not ? ), just to get a sun rays into your face, have a favorite meal for lunch and pick up the books and study as you never study before.

You can do it, we can all do it !

  #18

HELLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOO? where are u? U better be regular in reporting..study or not! raised eyebrow

  #19

Hey, extrapyramidal....

Get a notebook and write down all the little details you feel are important but don't stick to your head right away, Then dedicate to this notebook during the last week before the test. Things that are repeated over and over, every book or question you read will be asked. Save them for later and keep going. Perseverance will do you good.

Good luck, I am praying for you!smiling face
