You are soo right Feyza, I refrained from going to parites bec. I need to study more! There's been a lot of personal issues so I should be more hyper in finishing my reiew tasks these days!

We all can do this!! Good luck to us all. Keep working hard!

hey, feyz. thanks a million for the link to steve jobs commencement speech. i had come across the transcript a few years back, when he had just delivered it at stanford [i had a cousin who had graduated from there back then], and it had impressed and inspired me so much. and as time passed, i had evidently forgotten all about it. thanks for bringing it back.

i'll attach a link here for the complete transcript, as the video is incomplete. it's really good stuff! enjoy! [i think i'll add it to the inspiration thread in the lounge, too.]

sure we can do this anuba... this is some task that we need to think veeeery very professional ... there was a neurosurgeaon in some TV serials ... he said , when I feel scared, I just give myself some time , then count up to 5 and then forget all about it and do what has to be done nod same here during all the prep ... personal issues, diseases, friends, eid,kids ....anything ...once we are on the table, they have to be all forgotten ! ( sooo easy to say I know mad ) but thats the way it will pay off !

paheli... thanx for the contribution ... its motivational indeed ....except for my brother ...he said : " Damn ! Whay didnt I quit school in my 7th month? " gringringringrin

ok... beginning of a brand new morning and week here ! and you know what ? I LOVE CARDIO NOOOWWWWW !!!!!

all what we hate is the things we think we cant learn or do ....fear is worse then anything during this entire prep !

still have to spend some time on CVS tho , bc I want my first read to be crystal clear to make the reviews comfortably !

tough week as some very precious friends will be there in the prometric and we will root for them here with our prays !

love to all !

Yes, Feyza, the study will help us become more smarter and stronger. Wish you gradually love every subject.


  #413

ok...........OBG done now to pediatrics. Hope to finish those chapters which donot overlap with medicine so from new year I do medicine and pediatrics alongwith UW. Will subscribe UW for two months from Jan.

do you think oldkid that this is better than doing pediatrics alons and IM alone?...

I mean keeping the similar chapters to be taken together is easier and time saving or what?...

I'm nearly moving along with you and I think of taking your idea...what do you think?

  #416

so who else is cooking x-mas dinner today? grin

I've got some steaks I've had marinating since sunday night. Going to grill them up with some fresh mushrooms and onions. I've got homestyle bisquits, Santa fe wild rice, and roasted garlic and herb scalloped potatoes. For dessert I got pumpkin pie cream cheese roll.

Enough food to last me at least three days. sticking out tongue

shockedshockedshocked doc750 ... werent you a HE ?? can HEs cook such a SHEish recipe ?? wow ! I appreciate it gringrin I would sacrifice 1000 calories to have a plate smiling face
we have better than eggs and cereal here , still, cant reach yours smiling face

couldnt read a single page or do a single Q today madmy bad ! cardio is a pleasure now but its like...umm...like my brain is a beach and I wrote all the CVS info on the sand and any wave can swipe it away ...so I need like 3 days more to write the info on stone parts of my brain ...

I have a block more from Q bank , then I will read Kaplan once more along with my notes and finally will add FA to it ...and this will be the last time I see CVS b4 my second review !

nany ! Im sure slow and patient reading will get rid of ped ! Ped is no worse than CVS and Im no more clever than you so ... just keep it up and you will be happy too smiling face

*checks pants* .. yup I'm still a he. grin I actually like cooking ... eerrr actually I just like cooking good food once in awhile. That every day cooking to feed your family that a mom has to do. That just sucks.

not much to look at now, but everything is cooking. Should be ready by game time.

I can smell those sizzling steaks all the way to step1 forum ! Whoops, I did not cook dinner yet, still digesting a Christmas brunch feast. smiling face

Feyza, you are doing wonderfully with Cardio ! Yeap, repetition is the mother of the wisdom.

Nany: I think its obviously easier to read similar things from peds and IM. There are few chapters which are different but a majority of them coincide. Its good to have you around preparing the same time.

Feyza: Briefly sum up how much have you studied? Are you making notes for cardio?

doc...youre soo crazy gringringrin and I know , it sucks to have to cook everyday rolling eyes thanx God we eat out like 1-2 times a week when Im studying !

well, oldkid , thats a long story with CVS smiling face and thanx goodgirl, ur soo rite nod

I spent like 3 days for the first read of Kaplan notes

then I listened to Mr Conrad for 2 days and made notes and then added them to my book notes

then struggled more than a week for 231 Qbank Qs but those 231 Qs made it really stick and I made notes of every single thing in them ! even if I did the Q right , there are things to learn from the explanations...

then I spent a whole day and a half with
http://www.rnceus.com/course_frame.asp?exam_id=16...
and I felt veryyy good bc I never could read EKG b4 smiling face

then I went back to my Kpln book and read the valv disease , arrythmias , CHF.... from e-medicine and wikipedia and made more notes ...(that may sound crazy but these two give the ABCs sooo good and for obsessives like me , who cant ever memorise anything , and who is a member of the WHY WHY FAMILY , builds a very good reasoning basis , then it never flies away ! ...

now I will read FA for 2 days and add it to my Kpln book and finally I will read them all for one last time this week !

eeeeeeeeeek ! Im gonna throw up smiling face
