yeah, trying to study.
also juggling a mini-anxiety phase in my life right now. i have this tight knot in my stomach, from when i get up, to when i conk off at night. can't seem to get rid of it. just don't know if it's the exams, or what the heck has hit me...... also, i've been having epistaxis, 4 times in the past 3 weeks. not too much, but it's scaring the hell outta me. it's never occurred before. could it be the stress? or is it something simple like the cold dry air, that's typical of the onset of winter? i certainly don't have any bleeding abnormalities. and, i'm definitely not going to get it checked. can't deal with that too right now.
i've been trying and succeeding so far to stay upbeat and positive, with a can-do, will-do attitude and it's just getting harder to keep myself afloat. i just wish these exams would go away.
thanks people for coming by. ujk, i'm glad this stuff is helping you. dechu, please keep coming by. shwe, i hope you're week is turning out fine, just don't over-work yourself. kg, howz your prep coming along? medoc, i'm sure you're back at your grindstone. how i'd trade places with you right now. i know, i know, you've had to go through all of this too, but i just wish it was in my past, and not still staring me in the face..
i'll post a simplified 2nd messenger thingy, for those who are interested, as soon as i can.

Aww Paheli!! post party effects huh?? Well this stress sure does weird things to us,...seemingly benign things start popping up and getting worse....for example my DU is acting up sooo bad, I cannot stomach anything these days....GERD real bad! no other way than to resort to yoga classes, meditation, plus Proton Pump Inhibitor's 
Hope you get better soon.....actually since we are in the medical field, we either ignore our health or think of the worst...
Acknowledge that it is a mini anxiety phase like you put it, and keep working, you are doing very well!! YOU CAN BEAT THIS!!!   *HUGS!!!*

thanks a million, acintya , dechu and milee!!! you have really helped me get out of the slump i was in. the old me is back, albeit a bit more serious, but with more vigor and fire! thanks for holding my hand when i was down.
absolutely time i pulled up my socks, and got my nose between the pages/at the computer screen! yep, that's where you'll find me.
i don't think i'll be able to do much justice to this dear journal anymore. it has served it purpose, which was to egg me on and hold me accountable, and to guilt me out when i wasn't doing enough. i wouldn't like to delete it, since i have spent much time, effort and sincerity in posting 'big-time' notes here. it will certainly benefit me in the remaining leg of my prep, and of course others too who may visit here. but, i doubt if i'll have the time to continue the maintenance of this journal on a regular basis, with frequent posts. i'll still post stuff as i get the time, but not routinely.
and, yes, i still owe everyone a 2nd messenger post as promised [no, i haven't forgotten]
this is still the place to find me. not trying to act more important than i am, but am leaving the door open for any common/group communication.

thank you, medoc, acintya, dechu, milee, keepgoing and p4a99! for remembering me!
trust everyone's prep is going along as planned. i am numb with qns. i can't feel anymore. even my laptop grumbles that it doesn't get to visit p4u that much these days! poor thing, no way out for it, though!
am all ready for a Diwali break, though! am already in the mood, coz i just received a box of VERY nice chocolates from my bank ! i like them a lot now! esp coz i don't even have much money!! and no one knows that better than them! maybe i should check in the pretty silver card i got for the P.S. that says i'm required to bank my loot with them when i strike it big !!! lol! better enjoy the chocs before they can ask for it back!!!
not much fireworks these days, due to vigorous activism against air pollution, noise pollution, brutal child labor etc. am all for it, and i will say 'high time'! *thumbs up!*
want to wish ALL my buddies here a Wonderful and Happy Diwali! May we Conquer all our limitations and fears this year. May we Gain our Destiny this following year!

hi, guys. thanks for coming. i can see that everyone's busy these days. that's good to know, coz it means we're moving forward to our final goal.
i've wrapped up biochem, but i'm likely to return to it again, coz its too darn hard to remember. i will be doing the qbank qns soon, but they're not that many, so hope to finish up soon. plus, it will help me recall.
the coming week will be an eventful and stressful week for me, in a not-very-desirable way. my mom will be in hospital for a good part of it, as she is going to be operated upon. so i'm not sure if i can cover much ground prep-wise. even after she returns home, things will be different for a while, adjustments and all. i was dreading this week for a long time, but now that it's here, i wish it would pass quick. being a doctor, watching this happen sucks.
read well, everyone.
