Helloo dear Journal....i am back after a long time....thank u all my friends , for dropping by. i cudnt be online for long as i am having trouble with my pc .. now it seems thr is no other way than to upgrade it...whch means spending a lot of money now...i soo wanted to avoid it sad

well..last 2 weeks were really really bad from study point of view....i still cant believe i wasted so much time though i ws trying to cover quikly.

i dont know what happened with OBG....it ws one of my fav subj..and the thinnest book for step 2....still it took me ages !! coz i read only few pgs each day....and ws a bit adamant ..to finish it first and then go for IM. But no !!!! still cant say i am done disapproval Few pages in gyne portion is STILL left !! but enough....now i will start with IM. and finish this after few days !!

its 25th....if i lose my focu again i will be in trouble again !! Please God....help me to stay focussed.....my parents do everything .. i hv all the time to study.....still some things or the other keep coming up....and time gets wasted !!

Well...this venting wont help.....i need to understand my situation and do the damage repair myself.

So, now doing the Preventive Med chap..a small one..after that will start emergency medicine. Must finish IM this wk. I dont have time .... have to take UW on 8th march.

Hey simi, how far did u do in IM ??

hir..i hv replied..hope things are going fine with u smiling face

Hi anuba....what do u do when u lose focus ?? i mean i hv all the reasons to keep motivated..but smtimes some other things becomes more imp to me and that time i lose focus. i know my prob..but am repeating it.....i suffered a lot for this in step 1..... but dont know the solution !! i sometimes feel so helpless and angry at myself !! mad


Hey shahnaz..u r on 2 nd read ..thats grt !! started qs ?? GL to u too.

Ok..now lets start with IM. hope my comp stays well till i buy the new motherboard and cpu.

All the best to everyone and myself !!nod

Mydream.

yeah mydream it's hard to stay focused. What I do is that once I wake up early in the morning, I usually think of my schedule & keep saying it to myself over & over so it makes me get up & finish it. Does it make sense? Anyway let's get motivated...it's our dream & life will be better for us & our families.
Good luck!!

  #85

Hi Mydream,

How is step2 treating you?regarding gyne ..are you hearing gyne lectures while reading the notes? gyne lectures is one of the most interesting lectures in step2 after Conrad fischers lectures and gyne contains topics which are HY for step2...gyne will be boring and sometimes even difficult to understand if you do not listen to the lectures..I would HIGHLY recommend you to listen to those lecture when you are reading those notes..

GL with your prepsmiling face

hey mydream.....

Seems you are having a bad phase...well I have been through this slow nonfocusing phase not long agosticking out tonguewink

Things like that often happen when you feel the pressure to reach the target.Well try to have breaks in your studies..Don't read for more than 50 min in one session...take a break for 10-15 min and then start again. if losing focus try to take breaks every 30min and then adjust them as per your comfort.....At the end of the day how much you remember is more imp. than how much you studied.

Good Luck Girlnodnod
