papio,guyton,AD,tia,abc.... thanks for dropping by.
many thanks to you AD... you are a great friend.
okay.. so i have signed off UW finally... and will be revising from tomorrow.took a break today.... actually i t was more of a time out thing... i was so sturated that i had to stay waay for a while....
i was so freaked out in the last few days that i did nothing except stressing myself .....
but its not going to help me any.... so i took a day off today.....
now i am refreshed.... also i had a dilemma whether to take NBME first and then revise or vice versa... but with genbot's advice.... i am thinking of teking the NBME first.. i might end up with a terrible score tomorrow,coz i know i have forgotten alot in this one month,coz i didn't touch books during the UW period... read only the explanations but still i am going to go ahead with it....... unless i freak out again..... i really can't be sure unless i start it tomorrow..... i am always confused..... 
will tell ya tomorrow what i finally did.
one thing i must say this forum is a great place and i am so lucky to be a part of this.
these days i am kind of disoriented ..... maybe that's why i am talking in the loose associations manner but i always wanted to convey my feelings for the forum...
i think i am talking no sense now..maybe i am going crazy after all....am i ?

My NBME 2 score is 560... ... all the time i was worried i should not get a bad score... and i am pleased with what i've got.i have time and i am going to make good use of my time and if GOD willed i will get my dream score this time.
the best thing this NBME has done is,it has taken away my fears of failing step 1 again.i can once again think positive without the negative thoughts lingering in my mind.
thanks for your advice to take it today genbot... you were right,i am not regretting.
i'm happy i took it today.now i can concentrate on improving myself rather than worrying when to take NBME.

for last two days i had kind of slowed down.....
had to shop for groceries,bills were to be paid.now i think i am done for all the extra curricular chores util my exam..
so back to work full fledged from now.
thank you all for the encouragement...
i have made a time table for the remaining days but at least in last two days i did not stick to it,i did things not scheduled and didi not do what was scheduled....
let me tell you a secret..... since feb6 i had started to rationing my time.... it used to keep a tab of what i do according to time from the moment i wake up to the time i sleep..... that way i knew exactly where i ever wasted time...... and it made me realize the importance of time as well..... its like earlier i used to think i have time and use my time with leisure..... in the process i never realized the real value of time..... but since i started rationing ,suddenly the days seemed smaller and i felt as if there were not enough hours in the day..... eversince that day i had been running all the time to catch up with time.... and i think that kept me on the go..... on my best days i could study up to 12 hrs which were only a few.. but the usual was like 9 and half to 10 and i think i really don't have stamina more than that..
i had kind of got tired of it and thought of stopping it... last two days i did not keep a tab... and again i ended up wasting a lot of time unintentionally............. i guess its the extreme measures that work for me........... so i am back to the old routine now.....
i suggest it to anyone who think they are not getting enough output in the day... and feel they waste time.it worked for me.it makes you go crazy but then it helps you be consistent with your study hours and that is the thing.

true SOS.
Makin the most of the time u have on ur hands is the key to doin well on these exams. And when u realize u've been utilizing ur time well its a big positive feeling inside. Makes every task seem so much more easier.
Good that u got almost a month to urself now.
Give it ur best shot and stay positive positive positive!
And dont mind the occasional setback. That infact makes the victory even sweeter
Good luck!

thanks tia and genbot for dropping by...
hmm genbot i am trying my best to stay positive.
well i did okay yesterday.... was able to study for 9 hours.... but i am not happy with it.... and though i tried my best this was all i could do.... the weather has changed and suddenly its summer here and in the afternoons i feel so sleeepy,rather drowsy..... its just too hard to stay awake,studying is even harder..... i lost two hours in the afternoon coz of this... any suggestions to overcome this..... i am taking Bcomplex daily already.
am worried about my exam day..... yestrday ,at 3:30 pm i had to take a nap.... after struggling to stay awake for one hour...its so bad... i hope i overcome this...

Hey SOS i'd problems with insomnia not vice versa!
So not a lot of advice i can provide there.
But whenever i had a nap in the afternoon it'd usually freshen me up and i'd study better.
I guess 9 hours isn't bad. I think u'll start addin to it as the exam draws nearer. Approachin exams i think would be the only remedy!

hey sos ,
my husband is doing the grocery till my exam ..
and i am going to spend every sunday for him .. that will relax me too
one of my friends is working and studying for masters ..
and she told me that i must study with no breaks as if i was working like her for 8-9 hrs
and then after a break , study another 3 hrs like she studies every day
and then take a break once a week
so that will keep high productivity
i am going to do that
so that i don't mix up studies and home anymore
you have a great nbme score there
good going girl!!!

hi SOS, hope you are doing great ! i want you finish your test brilliantly! then you can give me some advice
i go through your journal every now and then, then i dont find some missing puzzle, like when you studied for physio, the physio book scares me, but i need to study endocrine, renal, resp, i watched the video in high speed, but didnt learn the concept by heart. if i missed anything in your journal, thats my attentenion defecit disorder. ok, now , i will go! keep working hard! i know you will make all of us very proud!

UW really is great... especially the way they explain is really great... hope you have a great time witth UW.
AD thanks for your wishes and prayers..
so today i am going to complete my biochem second reading.. it was my weakest subject on NBME,along with nutrition.... and i guess biochem will more or less cover nutrition as well.... i must complete it today and start physio coz that was my weak area in UW.. i tend to get confused and have to practice those graphs .....
