hey sos .. good to know u r back into studying 
i got sick of patho after doing kidney , repro and bone so i started doing phys with kaplan qbank ..have done a few units  !
iam going to start with patho again after phys .. cvs and respo patho makes more sense and u make the most of goljen after doing physio nicely so i plan on doing tht rite after physio
honestly speaking u dont need to physio frm brs excpet for the venous return and cardiac output graph everythign else is already there .. its alot easier to stick to the book u have already done once !.. but yeah in physiology if you ever get stuck on any concept then u got to open another book and tht cud be even b a text book caz without the concept u cant get anywhere in phys .. i suggest tht u do as many phys questions as u can ...

welcome to the journal of the one who got up from sleep at 11:50AM.
milee i'm doing okay on Goljan except for yesterday,when i did only one lecture and wasted the rest of day doing nothing.
shwe you are right,its better to do it well than rushing up.
good to see you abc.i can see you too seem to have made some changes in your schedule.well you are doing phys first and you think it will help you when you do goljan,it sure will.but i am doing goljan lectures and though it takes me a long time to complete even one of his lectures,i feel that when i do phys i will know what to stress on.so this way isn't bad either... though it takes me almost two hours to listen to one lecture,some times evn more,but its worth all that time.whenever you do those lectures do them well........ i'm saying it out of my step 2 experience.i didn't do goljan for step2 but ihad done kaplan.and dr conrad fisher who took cardio,inf,anf hemat is somewhat similar to dr goljan and just watching his dvds helped me a lot.these people are so good at thier job that if you do it with your dedication,you will remember each word they say.so don't compromise in that.give him as much time as needed.
okay its 12:30 already and my day has just begun. i keep telling you guys how i wasted my time............ ok today i will write all i did and then you all please tell me how to manage my time.
good day to all of you and happy studying.

okay time check... its 1:07 AM
i had got up at 11:50 and first thing i did was ,opened up my lap top and wrote a post.finally started my day at 1:30 with Goljan audios.... took almost three breaks in the first one..... had my lunch,played with the puppies and spent time on the internet in between. by 6 pm i had done only one lecture. 
glued myself to the chair and finally managed to finish two more until now.
but i should be doing at least four in a day if i have to meet my deadlines...
oh god ,help me....

'honestly speaking u dont need to physio frm brs excpet for the venous return and cardiac output graph everythign else is already there .. its alot easier to stick to the book u have already done once !.. but yeah in physiology if you ever get stuck on any concept then u got to open another book and tht cud be even b a text book caz without the concept u cant get anywhere in phys .. i suggest tht u do as many phys questions as u can ...

so my friend dont get me wrong .. u r rite about goljen ..it makes a great difference if u do goljen well .. one thing tht i plan on doing even after finishing patho is tht every morning before starting my day with my timetable iam just gonna lissen to one lecture so tht i keep revising patho .. by lissening to him i mite not b revising everything but something is better than nuthing !!
DOING FOUR LECTURES is achievable in one day SOS iam sure u will do it
sos :okay its 12:30 already and my day has just begun.i keep telling you guys how i wasted my time............ ok today i will write all i did and then you all please tell me how to manage my time.
so if u wake up around 12 then by one u shud be lissening to your first lecture .. if u have brekfast u willl not feel hungry(iam saying tht caz u start your day late so u can eat and then not take a proper lunch break ) . u can finsh the first one by 5 even if u take one mini break
5 to 6 another break .. may be u can play with the puppies then
6 till 8:30 second lecture or nine if u take a mini break ..
9 to 12 :30 thurd lecture with mini break .. then get online tell all of us and feel proud to write u r just left with one and u will fell motivated to finsh your day's timetable ..
so from 1 to 2 or 3:30 fourth lecture ... yaaaaaaaaaaaahuuuuuuuu
and then its time to say goodnite to poppy !!
( btw u r getting enuf sleep with this timetable which is good for your memory )
hope it helps

Keep fighting, SOS.
Practice makes perfect. If you hold on, you could overcome all kinds of difficulties during this process. By the way, I'm a beginner for USMLE. Thanks for sharing your experience. We can learn much from it.

ck i just checked the photocopies of the documents i'd sent. i'd sent form186,187,344 and 345.form 187 is the IWA submission form as i can see. anyone who applied online needs to send it to complete the application.fill all of them and get that notary stamp and send,as for the med credentials,ECFMG people get it themselves from the med school,you need not bother about it,okay.
i just got up at 11.have made me some tea,will have it and some fruits for breakfast and then back to papi's hematology. okay ,so get set go.see you all later.... daily i think of not coming here until my day's target but its is so tempting that i keep coming back ..... in all my breaks
bye for now.
