hello hello!!

Study I have been feeling just like you..very slow (after all that motivational talk cant believe I couldnt pep myself up!).........anyway I decided I am not goingto waste a single minute......

so since I was not in mood to read..........I tried to sleep....but the tension was high.....couldnt sleep either.......then cooked dinner with Goljan audio(haematology) - this is something you can try too when you are not in mood (listening I mean not cooking and eatingnod - because right after that I went to a nice slumber right on my couch for 2 hrs with Goljan talking to me.....poor kiddo didnt wake me up because I said I was listening sticking out tongue By the time I woke Goljan had finished Haematology wink does anyone know if anything gets registered in the cerebral cortex in REM sleep through the cochlear aparatus and VIII N. grin

Progress thus far for the day: FA - Beh science Goljan 2 lectures (i.e.before I slept).

Plan to do some haematology from path and some questions if possible and change my routine from sleeping at 2 a.m. to 12 midnight! Need to wake up for the exam right?

Hi....
well....00:00 hrs August 2nd;

Complete 33 qs
complete 1 hr goljan

mad something interrupted my study aboout 3 hours!!!!!

So I just was able to do 25 pages for Behav.....I can read but It'll be a waste of time 'cos it's the epidemiology part......so.....a tired brain would not retain so much specially numbersdisapproval

I forgot: I'm going to do a "1 day" equivalent study time....because I have a life too sticking out tongue, church, family, ....and stuff
I hope these too days can match the left pages
Good night

GIRLSSSS!!!!.....Just keep going....Tomorrow is full of opportunities just let's take them.

Karime good job! Bravo..........25 pages is something... Mix it up with the rear chapters ......they are not related at all and should be less tough on the brain! I did the same mistake and that slowed me down in beh science.........

Okay did 10 pages of haematology in FA - so total of 25 page today - not bad. 2 goljan lectures. Need to catch up on reading though and questions ! 2 a.m at my end so retiring .....Stud be charged for tomorrow .....we are setting a fire !

STUDY AT HOME MOMS

"Book Addict" "

You have to spend some quality time with your kid"

" Mom the only time you talk to me is when we cycle together" -

- be prepared for such litigations when you study home alone with a kid during his summer holidays!!

But my 9 year old is a good fellow - understands if mom says she is studying- because he will not be disturbed from his television or computer!!!!

Better tips should be from Arlete who has done all steps with flying colors with 3 adorbale kids eldest being my son's age! Hats off to her!!

Hi Target smiling face. I came across your journal by checking the new posts and had to read it all. Your Journal and words touched my heart in so many ways and it hit home more than you'll ever know. I wish I could join you guys in your studies ...sad I'm just starting my USMLE journey.... I wanted you to know that I'm sending some positive and happy thoughts your way and will keep you in my prayers. I'll also make sure to check your journal every now and then, so that I can draw some courage from your words.
Best of luck! You'll do great nod
By the way thank you for the CS thread. I loved your advice. I'll be sure to check it back when it's time for me to take CS.
Happy studying grin

You have such a heartfelt style of writing, a lot of positive wibe is radiating from your words, as zen08 mentioned already .

About the kids and studying, my problem is that I love to spend the time with my kiddo, he is 4 , this age is so wonderful ! I just don't know how to say NO to him . sad

Anyway , it is good to have you hear, you give to all moms ( and non-moms ) so much inspiration !

Im rooting for you. nod
