Thanks Ivonne & nany for the encouragement. Isn't this site awesome?
Yes I am hyper, it's 12:30am & I am still up to do my schedule. As I promised my kids for being soo good & behaved when I was preparing for step1, I let their friends sleep over tonight, one friend each. So I just put them to bed & now in front of the computer.
They were so happy &glad I kept my promise.
I have FA, Kaplan, Q Book as of now for sources. Will do Kapqbook, Kapqbank, UW & Mock exam for my q's.
My schedule starting Sunday:9/23/07:IM Kaplan & FA Cardiology. I will finish it by Monday evening.
9/23-25- Cardiology
9/26-28: Endocrinology
9/29- dermatology
For 4 days I have family over from out of town so I can only read at night.Well see how it goes for this 1 week of reading.

Ilearned a good lesson from procrastinating too much during my step1 review. I will surely not do that again bec. I panicked a lot during those last few weeks of prep.
So If I start early & diligently I will be more ready & less anxiety.
Of course I need MM(Mother Mary) to help me again. let us have fun & joy in studying!

You are inspiring....I have wasted nearly 60 days after step one..... I am working full time so can study part time. I was also hoping to write it earlier but its not possible. So when is your test scheduled? I am preparing for early March.

hi oldkidontheblock , you r inspiring too. I remember reading your entries in step1.
I got to do this fast bec. i have wasted a lot of time. I am not working but takes care of family.Gets hectic around my house a lot! But as soon as they go to school, Itake advantage of the 6 hrs., when they come home I help w/ homework, cook dinner, clean up then hit the books again at around 9 or 10pm til 12 mn. That depends also if they go to bed early.
I don't have my exact date yet but I want to get things over before the holidays so that I can enjoy the Christmas vacation with the family.

Not good Ivonne. I did not even have time to open my books for the last 5 days. My schedule were frozen. We had visitors & I was so busy. They left yesterday am then last night we have guests again, my husband's classmate fr med school. & staying over the weekend.
Anyway. I will try tofinish Hema & Rheuma today.
Reunion of hubs classmates & they're all practicing physicians & most of the time I just don't want to go out w/ them coz they make me feel uneasy. It's good that their get together is not here at our house today. I can just make an excuse to leave later on at their party so I can come home & study.
have a nice wkend everyone!

anuba, it took my exam sept 22. yes ,i think the adrenaline was till pumping ALOT after the exam, i got home prepared all my materials for step 2 . too get started the next morning. than i too a day off, 1 day b turned into 2 than3 suddenly bye bye the week. im now having post exam blues... waiting for the results. even if now i am prepping for step 2 (bc i cant waste a whole month!) its defin. not with the same INTENSITY. and prob wont be untill I know for sure! soo i guess you can say i am relaxing and enjoying reading some 'fresh' material for 4-5 hours a day. i think this is the best for now that way im in a 'normal' state rather than overdrive for when the results come out. This way I will be able to handle and evaluate things whatever the outcome of the test maybee!
