yes u have to do this. And you can. Have a nice day.

Study499- Yes we can do it.I have decided to first start with Kaplan Patho DVD's while studying Goljan notes.Once I'm done with all subj ,I will listen to Goljan audio.I'm doing this coz he covers topics from all subj in his lectures & I want to make sure I know what he is talking about & not have to make notes of topics which are already present in Kaplan notes of other subjects.I know I can do it.It just needs determination to endure. I work Mon.Wed,Fri-full time.Leave house by 7pm and am back around 6:45pm.After that its cook,feed etc. until 9pm when my son finally goes to sleep.I have to get more disciplined during weekends.Thats when I waste time the most coz I wanna spend time with family.But I have got to do this.

Alright done with that.Even though it took forever with lots of breaks,I managed to finish reading the assigned chps ,so I shall not be discouraged.Its better to read than not read at all.But I definitely need to pick up my pace esp since I work 3 days full time.Tomorrow back to work.Have to make up my mind,not to waste the weeknd.I can achieve so much in those 2 days.

9:30pm= General Microbiology

P2B, you are amazing! It's very encouraging to see you work, take care of child and family on top of studying for a medical liscensing exam! I feel like a TOTAL slacker when I see how hard you work! Well, thank you for your motivational journal entries. You are doing fine. You might be a SuperMom, but still a human! smiling face So, keep up the good work and take it one day at a time! You are on the right path to a very good score! smiling facesmiling face
