Feyza , this is not the right time to think about this q.winkgrin

First step is to pass your test . Everything else will come later. Remember , where there is a will there is a way.

Best of luck on your upcoming test.nod

Hello there!
Thanks for this thread NYC!! This forum is great and I derive a lot of inspiration from all you folks.. So KEEP IT UP!! smiling face

For some time I was in denial, and did not want to be called an OLD IMG and did not post in this thread!! But now I am accepting reality..... and I think it is not sooo bad as I thought. I love this message given to me "Although the climb to the top of the mountain is tough and rough, once you get to the peak, THE VIEW IS SPECTACULAR!!" So it is difficult, BUT DOABLE!

About me: Graduation Date: 2001.
Expected Step 1: End 2007 (hopefully!!)
As you said NYC_IMG, plans will be adjusted as I go along smiling face

I am on my first read, doing only Kaplan Lecture Notes (2006-07) for all subjects except Path (doing RR Goljan). Have HY Neuro and Gross, and MMRS for Micro on hold.

For Q's: plan to use KQBank and UW.
As part of the old IMG package, I am able to grasp concepts better (older and wiser I guess grin). Probably retention and recall is where the work is required!

So my friends, let's climb the mountain together!! smiling face nodnod

asmd , ellen, forumdoctor and acintya , welcome aboard .nod

Year of graduation or year of birth is just a number . We do not have to live by it. If you ask me , I still feel the same way as was in college. It is only because of other people that I have to PRETEND to be mature smiling face .

unique are u sure isn't it regression defense mechanism under the stress of usmle.......................sorry just teasing you.

  #118

well Im lookin fwd to see your reply unique but for me...UF...its really not a defence...I really feel like as exactly unique said...and at times when I look at my my son or celebrate an anniversary or ppl say : wut ?!??! ru really 31 ??!?!? reality hits me but Im soo happy to feel young and to look young that keep on enjoying life smiling face sometimes I dont even pretend to be mature esp when Im with my son ... I just let it go and find myself on the grass with bare feet or in the kids pool with a lollipop grin

UF ........ gringringrin

Agree with you Feyza. It does not mean that we did not gain any maturity with the passage of time. My perspective about many things in life has changed and I have definitely grown up with time but not in the way other people expect . I feel myself more energetic ( may be because I exercise regularly which I did not use to do before ) . I am as cheerful as always (Alhamdulillah) .

Anyway , none of us is in their 60's , so we all are young. My 70 yr.old neighbor loves to talk to me about the days when she was as young as me and her kids were my kids age.winkgrin

Feyza , give a kiss to your son from me when he comes and let's go back to books now .winknod
