Hello friends:
my first day writing my diary...,I'll just take a deep breath then to start.

planning to take my exam in October or November as soon as I get ready.
3.5 months 1st reading, 2 months 2nd reading, 1.5 month final revision.
I started studying 15 April with IM ..,
I thought that it is very imp. and so I wanted to finish it first while I'm still fresh.
I planned to finish IM within one month ( 15 May) and put a schedule for that including every day subjects.
now I finished up to valvular heart diseases which I just finished today.
actually I use kaplan notes and kaplan audios at the end of the day ..., they really make my understanding mooooore and moooore deep than just with reading,they are just great.

now I will listen to valvular diseases' audio,
then if I have some time left in the day I may start tomorrows part which is {pericardial and myocardial diseases}.

wish me luck friends...,
leave you for now

I finished listening to valvular diseases audio by now.
they are great as it makes a comparison between all of them making them easier to remember....,every day pass I love Kaplan audios more and more.

now I still have time till I go to sleep,so I may start myocardial and pericardial diseases which are tomorrow in the schedule [ it's not bad to get finished earliernod]

tomorrow I have to go to work early in the morning so I'll continue after I come back from work.

so tomorrow in schedule I have:
myocardial and pericardial dis from Kaplan notes.
listening to Kaplan audios of the same subject.

I know that I may have put some what small objectives for each day ....,but it is good to calculate your time well and know exactly the amount you can finish each day so you can stick to the schedule rather than being unable to do so and get frustrated.
beside that I think that 1st reading should take its time.

now wish me good luck friends.smiling face

Keep going Nany !

You will do just FINE if you keep up with the Good Job nod!

thank you doc_clotaire for your supporting words
I never needed them as much as now sad

I don't know what happened to me..,today I just lost another day.
I know that they're only 2 days but I feel that the day is very very precious
and I'm really not feeling good now.

but thank god I'm not yet depressed and that's the good thing.

I keep saying to myself that a day or 2 will not matter at the end of the journey and I can overcome this delay by hard work in the next days...,but you know...I'm just afraid that this words will delay me more sad

I'm thinking of leaving these days behind now and starting tomorrow's schedule as if there is no delay [ so the schedule will go as it is ] and just let hematology behind now so as to be taken later on at the end of the IM.

or should I go for hematology today and tomorrow and so the whole schedule will be delayedshaking head

I think that this will make me remember every day that I'm late and this will not help nor encourage me at all.

hmmm

HERE IT IS...., I'll start tomorrow's part now [infectious dis.] and I'll work hard trying to save any time every day so I may finish earlier than schedule and then I'll have time to overcome my delay
and when I mark each day as accomplished this will push me to work harder.

hope I can do that
I can't accept any more delay
