kity, i hope to take exam by the end of this year. i had doubts about this timetable before because my progress is not so encouraging, and my goal is to review the kaplan notes 3-4 times. . You know i have to get a decent score in order to secure my match, since i've been away from clinical practice for a while.
it's funny that i also dropped metabolisms in Biochemistry and jumped to Biochemistry. Now i am finishing Genetics. I was just thinking my next subject maybe immuno, and now I see that you are working on that! God, are you reading my mind? 
your progress is really amazing. how many days have you spend on immno? are you using
Kaplan notes for this subject also?

Hi Kity, had to bactrack a bit with your jourmal to follow you up until today--you have accomplished a lot! Need to work on your "sleep hygiene", eh? Napping during day is fine, as long as you keep consistent. Happy studying to you

hi edie... good to see you are back I am so mad at myself... I have already slept 9hrs today.. still feeling sleepy...  If I just leave myself alone I will be sleeping all my life.. sometimes I wonder.. how will I do my residency even if I get one.. I am so rebellious to the daily routines.. ok. done with scolding myself... back to micro now... everything is seems to be from mars to me right now... may be second read will make some sense...
nice to see you around shwe... so you are on break right.. have nice time with your relatives..

kity, i totally understand how you feel---i've been there. try some caffine, some work out, take multivatmine-- i tried all that. and now i am still struggling but getting better. My solution is: early to bed, early to rise. don't blame yourself for a little extra sleep, that may help you read a little more tomorrow.

hi betternbetter... dont ask about my sleeping habits.. I tried 3 hrs at night to sleep.. finally slept at 4am.. didnt even study ... I think I have stress induced insomnia it started very late in CK prep.. but for step 1 it has started now only Finally I woke up at 1.30 pm.. started reading at 2.30 pm
hi sixfeet good to hear from you... you didnt post since long.. I thought you were v. v busy with studies... if exaushted take a break.. I mostly take 1 or 2 day break per week.. it really helps.. When studying study like ....when you take break.. just forget about usmle stuffs.. it really rejuvinates me..
hi medocuk.. you made very very tight scedule.. . its my 2nd day of micro.. how is it going for you??
micro too is all the memorization... I am just reading he material.. without a bit of understanding.. may 2nd or 3rd time it will stick to memeory...

KT, I try to sleep early, wake up early, but not work so far. So might stick with usual sleeping time , that at least no struggle .
But will do sleep earlier & earlier to get used to it with study early .
GL GL GL happy success study to us, friends
