thanks hir, for dropping by, actually i am not being good, but i will try, and i have to do lot of work, otherwise
DD, i didnt watch micro lecture either, i dont think thats necessary. i think i read in kaplan only one time, after that i switched to FA, but for some topics i have to read there, and i am very bad in virology. i have been lazy lately, was stuck in RBC patho, RR, so i thought, i will read some micro, i will read with questions. after reading about persistance, now i feel like i shouldnt have quit half way,

hey ad..... don't do that... the only way to get through is to do things thoroughly.
try not to leave things in the middle coz then later you don't feel like doing it.. its better to take a break.. but finish the work at hand and then move ahead.. the sense of completing sometihng itself will give you a high...  trust me gal.

Thanks fluro, genbot, supriya, match, SOS.
I was actually having trouble getting up, i was going back to bed once my husband leave, he was leaving at 7.15, and woke up at 11 and one day at noon.So, after last weeks struggle, and dissapointment at myself, today i didnt go back to sleep. the days i woke up late, couldnt read more than few pages from Goljan RR. I like his book, but there is so much in there. I should be reading 25 pages a day, since i am not reading anything else, but i end up reading 8/9 pages. Still long way to go!

Hi antidepressant,
The road ahead is not easy particularly those with a family (like us) but with perseverance and support we can overcome this. Keep on rolling. I will be praying for you.

Hi antidepressant, not all days are alike. May I suggest that you have a plan that includes a favorite/ fun topic and a tough/ boring topic every day. When you feel tired or sleepy, you can always brush up on your favorite topics- mine were behavioral and anatomy, and on those days that you feel most productive, you can hit the tough ones- mine were pharmac and biochem. I also liked microbilogy made ridiculously simple and when I was bored or tired, I would read one of the low yield topics just for fun, or if I was feeling very low, tried to give myself some "spa time" where I decide not to touch my books but relax and have fun.
I read your first few posts about sometimes needing someone to look over your shoulder- maybe you can try this-Sit down for a 4 hour study session. Plan to take a break for 10 minutes every hour. So if it was going to be from 4 to 5pm, take a break at 4.50pm or if you are feeling lazy, 4.45pm. I am sure you can do one hour at a time if you put your heart to it. In the last ten minutes, take a quick bathroom/ snack break, listen to an inspiring song, jog quickly in place, or sit and day dream about your residency program and maybe you will feel energized enough to do your next hour. Sometimes, we really have to take it one hour at a time. But success is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.
Feel inspired and get working! All the best!

Hey Simon, Thanks a lot,for checking, i dont deserve this.
I wasnt in touch with books, and there were not much valid reason. I am tired of my laziness, and sometime ashamed, and sometime i feel like when am i going to act like grown up when it comes to studies, i am no kid anymore, and my mom is not going to push me anymore.
Ok, lets see how much determination i have, from tomorrow, its midnight here, so going to bed. good night all, and happy studying.

Hey AD
How are you doing??
Don't feel guilty about a lost day. just find out what went wrong and don't repeat the mistakes.
its ok to have some low days . its bound to happen, we've been studying for such a long time..
i am also needing 9-10 hrs of sleep lately
don't know what to do about it.
just hold on and keep studying ...
Good Luck!!!

let's try this..
everyday you should report here what you read before going to sleep
and increase it little by little ...

also try this
keep one day off per week
spend that time with family
do all housework that day.. like cleaning and all and don't bother about it for rest of the week
and tell yourself that i will not study on that sat or sunday but only relax
and to have that day off, i will finish this much by then
it works ..
try it

hi AD dont worry , everybody feels lazy and tired of this long study once in a while , but then we come back , take a little break and then you will come back with more energy , maybe do exercise it will help you , that works for me , i use to run when i want to left my negatives ideas back, make me see the situation and the view clear .
its just a lazy time that everybody of us pass , dont worry , and good energyAD
