hey people. thanks to mytime, hedieh and kity for dropping in, and keep doing so frequently. i need the support!! smiling facesmiling facesmiling face a smile for each of you!!

how did my day go? coolwell, as planned, i finished watching the rest of the immuno video.nod i think it went well. i then began to catch up with my chapter lag from y'dayshaking head, since i went a little overboard, biting off more than i can chew!!confusedsticking out tongue now, my main job is to pretty much cover all of immuno by end of tmrw. am taking a break from watching more videos coz i need to consolidate this first, before i jump in to anything else. if i jump the gun - it will not be pretty!!shaking headshaking head 'khichhdi' messy head. so, i need to take it in in an organized manner. it's just inconvienient that uw does not have immuno qns sorted separately. coz i need to access them, and i've not done micro. so if i attempt them now, it's pretty obvious what i'll score. can't afford that blow to my confidenceshaking head.

well i've read till chap 5, should try and cover at least, say, another 2 more tonight.sticking out tongue the rest have to be finished tmrw, as early as possible. then the remaining time, to be used for a quck re-read. hmmmm, that sounds good right now. God, i need your help to make it work. sad

ok, this is so wierd, but ever noticed how when you see a guy chomp on his food and slurp on his drink, it can be soooo off-putting!!shocked ugh!! no matter how good lookingcool blah blah, it's all gone just like that!! ugh ugh!! no sick-looking smilie here!!

Hey Paheli, You are doing well. Keep it up, but don't stay up too late! It's a pain to get back on a regular sleeping schedule once you are out of synch.

You don't need any more outside the sources, but I just wanted to let you know the book I was referring to is Lange's Examination and Board Review series book. I love both the Pharm (Katzung & Trevor's Pharmacology: Examination & Board Review) and Micro/Immuno (Medical Microbiology & Immunology: Examination & Board Review by Warren E. Levinson). You can find the 2004 edition of it online for free. I am not posting links since the Mod won't let us.

It has Immunology questions in the back from page 547 onwards. It also has separate MLE style questions. You can just print out that section by itself. It also does an awesome job with medical important bugs starting from 469 onwards. Again, this is only if you have time.

I'll PM you the link in case you are interested.

Enjoy finishing up Immuno! grin

  #37

hope everyone is doing well in their study plans. haven't seen any friends in a while. totally my fault, as i've been preoccupied with immuno.shaking head will rectify that soon though!grin

whoa! it's sunday already!shocked where did the week go?raised eyebrow another one gone, another week closer to the inevitability of it all. one week less to pass to reach my eventual goal.cool

sound poetic, do i?confused yep, a heavy sunday lunch usually does that to me!gringringrin

ok, so what did i achieve this week? i wrapped up pharm. completed immuno totally. now am on to micro. have completed more than half of chap 2, bacteria. hope to finish the rest of them in 3 days more. but no dvds today.shaking head i have more than enough catch-up reviewing to do.rolling eyes

that's my plan today. i wish all of you a great sundaynod, whether you're slogging at it or taking a well-deserved [or otherwisesticking out tongue] day off.

i went looking for my very own goljan rr copy. went all the way, in the rain.........and the store was closed!!!mad can you believe it!shocked on a sundaymad! they're supposed to be open!disapproval i have to wait a few more days to lay my hands on it. i'm patient. my copy's going nowhere.smiling facesmiling face

well, plan for the next week: complete micro. try to start path. hope i succeed.wish me luck.

to all my friends, everyone reading this, esp YOU, i wish you a very successful week ahead. we can crack this, people!nod
