Hey am here!!!!!!!!!!!!! grinwink


OHHH that FOCUS is a friend that doesn't stay, so u worry not, find another! sticking out tongue
(And btw, u still acheive what u set out to, HOW? Cause u did set out to achieve it!:nodsmiling face

If something drags............ CLOSE it pick something else. It doesn't have to be 3 hrs 3 hrs 3 hrs in order suit the mood. And if nothing's working GO TAKE A WALK, watch a movie, then come back to 2hrs/ 2hrs/2hrs for that day.

And as far as a "relationship" is concerned remember that's about the 2 of u! BUT THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOO ABOUT just YOU!!!!!!!! So even though the other matters very much, u just don't realize that it's a myth!!!!!!! U matter most, the sooner u realize that the more peaceful u'll be!!! wink
Btw, if someone's fighting with u at this time remember, that's person feels ur stress and is equally stressing out! And if u want to win the arguement, turn ur back bend urself, wriggle ur BUTT at the person and the stick out ur tongue and go pick up ur books!!!!!! U'l be pROUD of urself, and u'd have a SENSE of humor!

If u are missing love........feel it here........right now..... BIG MAMMA HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGS! :MWAH: that was from my 3 year old! sticking out tongue

it's ok Ivonne....this time is full of stress...and all our brains looks as if we setted fire in it.

we can hardly gather our self and our concentration......

and be sure that the people who love us understand all of this.....but what we don't understand that they are also in stress like us........as if they are going to take the exam with us....

I know we don't have any free peice of mind to share them up and lower thier stress [ we are only humans ] .......but it's ok to have some moments of explusion either from them or from us, and each time one of us will calm the other and life will go on.

the bottom line is that..., the people we love and the people who love us always understand....but they are also just humans......



share up Ivonne and keep going on....nod....every thing will be just great nod

DAY 53
Yesterday Just worked in 32 UW explanations, depression was knocking my door so i took the rest of the day off and read this phrase:

"Consider the impact of your personal relationship on your preparation. Family responsabilities and obligations can be very distracting. You should avoid family confrontations and any stressful relationship. Your focus should be on the exam and nothing else. The other parts of your life can wait"

Today's goal
Catch up my previous schedule. Today i am very motivated again, ready to work my brain off.

it's great Ivonne to have this clear vision now...although it is hard to avoid family confrontation but it seems to be the best policy during these very stressfull period of our life

hope you can achieve today's goal as go on as fast and steady as you always do nod

Best of luck dear friend smiling face smiling face nod

DAY 52
Good morning everyone, yesterday was a nice day, finished my target and went to bed happy, my cumulative score in peds is 72%, had a lot of mistakes regarding milestones, actually i got all the questions wrong and also a lot of mistakes regarding storages diseases, for instance, a case of Gaucher disease, my mental association is deficiency of glucocerebrosidase but not they ask for the enzime mencioned but by the name of acid beta glucosidase...LOL...whatever. Also all the questions i changed the aswer got them wrong when actually i was right but not confident anyways a lot of work to do.


So far 1988 out of 2243 UW questions, done with the Kaplan notes and basically watching the DVDs, 3 hours/day and 6hours/day of UW.


Today's goal

Can't quit helping others ivonne esp friends. Good things happen to good people!

Keep up the good work!!

  #299

Yes, Ivonne, some time will be spent on other important things. Like today I went to shopping for five hours, to three different stores. But we can always work harder on the hours we can definitely use for studying.

You are doing an amazing job. Keep it up.


  #300

Anuba and njcjzy: Yes, there are things in life that can not stop even if we want to...he,he, thanks friends for your support.

Finished UW nephrology first block and I socked eventhough i read step 1 notes, Kaplan DVD, kaplan notes, FA and secrets. In the other hand I am glad it happened because i know that i have to work harder in that topic so next step is to study the answers and find out what my problem is!!!.
