Hi Target- so August 27th is going to be the big day. What are your weak topics? What are your strong ones? How many questions do you have left in UW? Are you planning to do kaplan questions? Your average in UW seems to be quite good.
Are you planning to do NBME? If you would like to ask me anything in particular, I would be happy to try my best to asnwer it for you. All the best.

Hope u r better with ur sleep cycle 11.. 6 , ama lso slipping back to old late sleep , not good, get to do sleep early .
There is always tmr that u can do well & catch up  ,

hi target,
how r u doing?
keep working hard....don't expect so much from urself....if u go to bed late, then for sure u r gonna wake up late as well....so if it's now difficult to change...then try to study a lot at nights...don't worry about the time...as long as u r studying effectively...and try to to go to bed a little earlier each night....as time goes u will improve it....
hanging on there dear...it's difficult managing everything...working...taking care of a child...and a lot more plus studying for a challenging exam...but with a positive attitude all are possible.
try to do ur best everyday...and don't worry if u cannot keep up wt ur plan...try to achieve 80% of what u hv planned for ur day...by getting close to ur test...u will achieve 200%
take care

Good morning ! Eveyone. Nice to see so many visitors with good intentions of helping me. Again slept at 2.30 and woke up at 10 a.m. - I feel better not groggy - should keep moving 1/2 hr each side daily.
YESTERDAY : NIL NIL NIL - not a word! Just relaxed after all the shopping spree ......oh almost forgot - got somefhting that my son loved so much that he didnt want transformer toy. 6 goldfish - he said it was the happiest day of his life! (Way to go mom!) The best part comes next - as I lay to chill off from the hot outer spree at 90 degrees - I felt something on my eyes - cold - and an instruction - dont open your eyes- ah it was a cucumber -my son was trying to impress me back! "Sleep mom, you are so tired and dont open your eyes because there is something on your right side that you might want to do after you wake up" - Any guesses ? First aid book! Another big surprise was when I woke up the cucumber was actually a slice of zucchini! No guy had treated me so royally in my whole life- it was a memorable day!
TODAY: Back with vigor - got to hit the target today! Veteran my weak areas are beha and micro which I am currently studying. Stud: thank you so much for your concern and tips. You are a god send blessing. My studies picked up momentum only after I started reporting to you. Will continue reporting every 4 hrs. Commit thanks for dropping by. Simon73 I have been multitasking 6 years now -guess I shouldbe atleast good by now! Shwe dear hope you are able to forget work today and focus on studies. Take care everybody !

Good morning folks!
All these exemplary posts of people struggling against this exam.........and scoring high despite their situation. One thing I have learned is "Everybody has problems" As Robin Sharma says "If someone has no problems , they are dead". The idea is to incorporate the exam along with your problems and expect set backs! (Pursuit this is for you :nod. I know because I have been in your boat making my problems bigger than my goals. But the point it goals are important - so if you are with your inlaws dont think about usmle enjy the time iwth them and when you get back - (now that you had a big downtime) HIT YOUR BOOKS WITH ALL YOU GOT !
STUD- I dont know what's going on with you. COme back ..miss you desperately.
I am home today.
Todays Target:
Behavioral science videos -as much as possible
Goljan 1 lecture (bythe way I almost got to the end of ydays lecture until my son woke me up - "mom listen".
UWORLD 25 questions at least
First aid 10 pages. LEt me start with this - I love this book!

Your positive attitude is very contagious, do you know that ? That's why I like to always come back ( although mostly silently) here. Today I thought I might drop a line, so here I'm : your old silent cheerleader ! GO-GO-GO target , you are almost there .

Okay 4hr no almost 6 hr report :
10 Q UWorld and Head and NEck finish anat! Thanks to my SP who kept me awake post prandial. Next report will be in 6 hrs because I am going to chill off for 2 hrs.
Goodgirl: I wish I was like you "good" from the very beginning of the prep. Only now I dont let my negatives dictate my life. Took a long time to learn it in life! You dont be a silent cheer leader - I like chirpy ones
