AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!madmadmadmad

i've had enough of micro. God, just tell me i can quit. this is crazy stuff. can't handle those bloomin' bugs for a day longer. shaking headlast few days, my frustration was being released in a subtle manner, then rather straight forward. now, i'm just going plain old crazy..........shocked

i just want to get it over with. problem is, i have loads to cover before i can move on. pretty much all of bact and viro....sad[what else is left!!!]cool

i really have to make progress tmrw if i have to conquer this. will aim at completing all of virology. how does that sound? confusedachievable, i hope!

CAN'T QUIT CAN'T QUIT CAN'T QUIT

hi paheli
i am not yet qualified to comment on this
but many of my classmates have taken step 1 and have got thru with 99
i used to talk to them while they were studying .. and most of them found tht micro did take more time than expected because unlike other subjects there is a lot to retain and less of what can be remembered by logic . more of memorisation and revision is required. try doing it alternate days and in between you can begin with ur next subject
that shd give you a break

  #72

Yeah even I thought it was Caspases and not Casp-a-sases! smiling face

Pappi mentions that he read and re-read Ah-poptosis from Robbins and he did not get itgrin.....even says he has ADHD so maybe that's why he did not get it wink...and he has it ALL in the notes, ALL in his notes....so I'm thinking that should be enough.

Great to have you on board the Path train smiling face let's chug along smiling face

Hi Paheli...yeah, Papi's pronunciations are "very inneresting"! grin But he kills me saying "sonnameter" for "centimeter". Many docs in US do that, and want you to do it too nod

  #74

another day has passed, another day closer to the inevitablesad.........oooooooohhhhhh!!!shocked gotta work harder.cool

did some more vids today, also going along with Papi, holding my hand. am happy to see that many of the qns that he asks in class, i'm able to answer. nothing like it to boost your morale. sometimes, you feel like nothing really sticks in this thick headshaking head...and when you can answer Papi's, Papi's qnsnod!!! you feel maybe you're not that lost!! not like this means that i'm ready to ace this test. but perhaps that one ear is plugged closed, and the other ear is left open, and that ear was turned toward the lecture!!!winkgrinnodsmiling face

well, midweek past already. i must squeeze the most of every moment left this weekrolling eyes, so that i can be content that i couldn't have done more.

for all my friends here, i wish you all a great read!!nod

IF U BELIEVE U CAN, U WILL!

  #76

Do u have a date for the test?

  #77

nope, haven't blocked a date yetshaking head. need to estimate my study schedule, which will be done once i'm through with first read.rolling eyes

am doing barone with goljan. am ahead with barone, coz he doesn't actually teach much, i think, so doesn't take very much time for him.sticking out tongue on the other hand, goljan study needs to be perfect. coolanyway, i've got as far as fluid and hemo. just have to keep at it.wink

wish me luck. and the same to all of you too!nod

Way, to go Paheli! You are on to Path! One of my favorite subjects! I just caught up reading your other posts. It helps to see that we are all get derailed every once in a while! Well, I am feeling the good Ju Ju today.. So, just came by to pass it along to you as well! Happy studying. winksmiling face

  #79

hey, lilinjn is back!!!smiling face good good!!! thanks for the ju justicking out tongue [lol, that sounds so funny, but i think it's effective!!!wink]

well, what did i cover? did couple more barone lectures. i swear, as days go by, i just feel more frustrated. he's just reading the notes. that's perhaps fine in micro and such, but in path???!!!whatever happened to MECHANISMS!!! the WHYS!!!! coz they assume you know the whats! i think i'll stick by what i'd initially planned. go through it all with barone rather quickly, basically just to weed out any imp stuff which may not be given elsewhere, unlikely as it may be. at least for my own peace of mind. then, it's every day, papi day, papi's way!

btw, anybody laugh as much and as loud as i did when barone attempted to explain retrolental fibroplasia in hyaline memb dz rx?? i watched it over and over again, totally cracked me up!!!!gringrin

tmrw's plan, try and swallow some more barone, and a little bit of goljan, on a side plate!sticking out tongue bon appetit, my friends!cool
