I have been dragging my feet & esp. my brain to get on & finish my UW. Whew.. Saturday has been so busy.. running errands & it's already 9:00pm when I get this chance of finishing up my block. Not a good day for reading.I certainly hope I can read more FA pages tonite. As usual last night Goljan audio is just like my lullaby! Once I turned it on whoops there I was .. asleep..

Feel like pushing myself to get into more studying...

My goal tonight: Finish 50 pages of FA. I'll let you know of my progress....

Here I am ..on vacation but can't really full blast bec. i am thinking of my studies.
can't avoid this bec. my kids are on summer vacation. But I was good , I finished my target pages for FA, Did read 40 pages while on the plain. I was thinking people might be looking at me bec. here I am w/ 3 kids & studying step 1. Funny bec. my kids were reading their books & playing their nintendo while I read my book. I don't care what others will say buti am more determined now to KILLL the BEAST! I am sooo mad at basics stuff already!

I will do a block of UW patho today! Good luck to us all.
Unique 1, keepgoing & SH99 Have a blessed day!!

My goljan audio , my lullaby. I brought this on my trip & I listen to it over & over. I also brought my FA but I can't read much, kids have to be watched at the beach. I hope & PRAY to shift my full gear when I get back home next week!! It's stressful knowing how much I still have to read but it's okay.. I can do it!!

Good luck! Got to finish Neuro today!!!

  #36

A productive morning for me. I listened to Goljan audio w/ full understanding. I hope I don't just remember his jokes but the facts as well.

Will listen to Goljan more for today. I am soo glad I brought my CD player w/ me.
I will continue my UW q's on Friday, that's when I get back from vacation. Please help me Lord! I am trying to concentrate & ace this test!! Amen!

  #37

Hi Peds2B,
Most of the time it helps to stay positive! Refrain from reading negative notes in this forum. I get sad most of the times also but it's good to know also that Im not the only one struggling for this review. My friend said we are just 1 step away in reaching our dreams. You see I have 3 kids & it is easy for me to just forget about this exam but I don't. I will follow my dreams & when my kids are grown up I will be happier if I can look back & say I have 3 wonderful kids & I made it to be an MD too. It's hard, it's a sacrifice but I think I can do it. I thank God for my endless HOPE. HE wants us to be happy but we have to do our part.

Have a progressive studying to everyone!

  #39

Hi Anuba! I admire your determination and positive attitude! I wish I had a bit of it rub on to me...well I am going to take inspiration from you and start studying.

Hi Anuba ,

Can't agree more to think less negative & be positive, wise in studying , as you did , kids read at library, so do you , like your vacationing on plane you read, they read, play game .

Kids one or more or not , if we want , we should make it come through with good thought with good support start with self then all will follow through .

  #45

Today is another day of endless hope & struggle to finish so much from studying! I have put too much effort & tries for this exam & come to think of it i ll be hopeless &just forget about my dream. I am feeling low almost everyday but trying to ignore the raging depression hormone that would come my way. I saw more white uniformed people yesterday & envy.. a good envy on them. I was suppose to be there years ago. What happened to me?. Today I hope to rise from this emerging self pity & depression!! I'll fight for it because once I'm doomed then I can't study anymore. My God I pray for your guidance to help me do AT LEAST 2 blocks of UW today.

  #47

I read your struggle and understand what you are experiencing now on preparing USMLE with 3 kids. I admire much your efforts...

Yeah, 1-2 blocks of UW per day are reasonable target. What we aim for is the concepts for the exam, not the UW score or anything else. You are doing great, keep on...

Reading your prep, I feel I also need to update my progress daily with all of my effort. I was not so focused in the past 2 months.

Happy studying, anuba






  #48

hi anuba... i see you have been working hard.. that's good.. we will soon beat the step 1...nod btw how do you find step 1 secrets?? is it as good for step 1 too as they say for CK???

hey thank you huyniid & kity. I had a rough but productive day yesterday.
I finished a block of UW, FA patho done, & endo step 1 secrets book & resp 1 of audio. I don't know .. i forget everything without follow up reading. Oh gosh I hope to do more today. Super saturday i hope.

kity, step 1 secrets is good.. just have to focus on it too, only thing is the prints are too small. It strains my eyes but I can always carry it w/ me when waiting for my kids lessons.
It helps plus it does not attract attention much , my FA does. People might be wondering what am reading when I carry FA around. Who cares? Right.
Its our life, it's our day today.. Have a great day studying everyone!!!


  #50

Anuba, it is so inspiring to see you working so hard. Keep it up dear. Wish you all the luck in the world smiling face.

I also carry my notes everywhere with me and the whole town knows I am studying for step1 . Some people get surprised to know this, some happy and some jealous sticking out tonguewink. But who cares ? I wish you and I, and many others in the same boat will be there soon, where we were supposed to be years ago. This is our destiny and we WILL achieve it with God on our side nod.
