Hi medocuk how's your studies? Good luck to you too.

I feel like crying or hitting my head everytime I get a question wrong. I know that is either a right or a wrong thing to do. Heeyahhh it's STRESS! Don't let it get me.

Solution... Read Read Read Study study Study. No more home movies for now.
I need coffee... it's only 10:22pm. I need to finish Microbio...

  #153

Don't be so hard on your self. Be focussed. And keep realistic goals. You will do just fine.

  #154

Whoaa, got to take out the negative thoughts ! or I won't get anything done. I should stop reading at negative posts esp. by rustedfox.

i have a busy day today... Family stuff..then study in between.

You're right medocuk, stay focused!

  #155

I am still stucked w/ microbio. Knowing all the char. of viruses... that's confusing. Any
suggestion on how to ingest/digest these guys?

Sometimes it's hard to stay focused with all of these things going on around us. But we can't just let our other side of life stop bec. of this exam. Just stay focused & do it ANUBA!!

nodnodnod when cannot concentrate fr things around, move to quieter room to study or just hav ehead phone on to listen audio or dvd or papi . or time out then restart, or do simple read without needing to think subjs like anatomy , micro.

As family are around, with mom mind we all has the moment daily .
Just have to pick up self when able to then move on studying , or just take time, or day off .

How are you shwe. I'm here at the library today for 2 hours of no interruptions so it's good. It's hard to study but got to do it. It's my choice so bear with the hard work. i can simply just walk away but i am sure i won't be happy if i 'll think of my career. So no time to complain. got to stay focused!!
happy reading everyone!

I tried my very best to study yesterday but I was sick. My whole body hurts, chest pain, upper arms weakness headache vomiting. Scary. i thought i was having some kind of MS. I feel a lot better today so I was able to do some errands. I was about to go to the library but I am late. it's ten am & might as well do my q's here at home. I hope to be seated still until 2pm.

How's everyone doing. Good luck with everything today!! let's
concentrate... Stay focused!

I was so worried, i ended up going to my docotr for upper arm numbness/weakness. She said it could be a pinch cervical nerve. I restarted my qork out last thursday & went back to lifitng weights & 2 days after that, i had the chest pain & upper arm weakness. I think i overdid it. That's it for me, no lifitng for now. I was given a muscle relaxant but I might just be falling asleep with it, can't afford that. My exam is coming soon so I get to finish my revisions.

Good thing is that it's like a wake up call everytime a health scare happens. I thought I was having the manifestations of Mult. Sclerosis (MS). I was praying O God.. No I want to take care of my kids, my family... Oh Lord I was soo morbid.Forgive me.

Okay.. now I'm revising my Pathology , all the stuff that I DID not get yet. I am soo tired of Goljan. I can't stand it anymore so I will finish up on QBOOK, FA & incorrect responses in UW.

Please help me, help me Oh LORD.

Stay Focused ANUBA! I can do it!!

Hello! Long time no hear. hope all is well.

  #168

I'm fine. thanks for asking mydream.
How's it medocuk? Is your exam coming pretty soon too?

Okay it's 8:20 , time to start myday of reviewing. I am feeling better. I will focus on what's working. I'll move out of the land of discouragement & "not going to happen" subdivision or out of "can't do it ville" & move to the land of faith, hope & expectation.
I trust you Lord to help me in this area of my life.

Have a great day to you all!

Revisions, revisions, revisions. Yeap.. quite frustrating that I am still getting low scores in my uw. I am doing the incorrect questions. And QBOOK. I am getting used to it.. to what? ..studying. I am getting anxious, nervous, hyped...Okay jusst relax & study what I can still study.

I tried answering the Lange test q's, & looks easy compared to UW & Qbook. I must remember the simple basic test q's also. Oh Lord, help me!!

  #170

ahhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh! there you go. i need to release my frustrations. pardon me guys.

Anyway. pathology is the highest yield subject. So imust know a lot of this subject.
i can't postpone my test again. i have guests coming end of this month so i better study crazily so I can finish this step. Be positive. Cramming is the name of my game for this whole week. I will study crazily this weekend. Anyway, no school so kids are better off when they're home. I asked my hubs to take care of them this weekend & he said they'll go out so I can memorize stuff heavily & I can scream if I want to without startling anybody. My other kid just look at me with his eyes wide open everytime I blurt out something when I memorize. Maybe he's thinking Mom's crazy.

Anyway, wish me luck guys.

  #171

Good Luck Anuba!!! For a SUCCESSFUL CRAMMING EFFORT!!! nodcool It always just amazes me how moms do this exam smiling face

"Oh Lord, Please help me to accomplish my secret petition. It is not actually a secret petition from my heart anymore because I let it out in the open by having this journal. You know how much i have been hoping and still believing that my dreams will come true not just for me but for all my forum stranger friends. help us Oh Lord, you know how hard we work & you know the contents of our heart's secret petitions. Thank you for all your blessings & for directing my path towards You". Amen.
