am still doing genetics - have to complete it today !
i was doing qs wrong in genetics, so i am reading it now.
I am reading all the genetics related chapters in Biochem kaplan. This book is more familiar to me with some memories in previous reading ..thats why i am using it again, rather than other books, i am using FA for reference.
I never used HY cell and molecular biology, but i have one downloaded. I am not going to read it, but i am going to use it for reference only.
again and again i have to realize....this time is to improve answering techniques not to read books.....i mean,
less reading, more qs and more strategies to retain, more aids to memory.
whenever i have to read anything...do it fast. fast, fast, fast , no excuse.
what the heck .....spending hours and days just for reading again, with out doing qs or not reviewing them......it doesnt work that way, reading never ends, aim is to answer the qs, not to gain knowledge from multiple books!
there is no gaurantee, i can answer the qs inspite of multiple readings, without qs.
spend less time for reading, more time for reviewing the qs.
take the weak areas, review them, then read it again fast !
anyway, it makes sense to address my genetics, as i am not getting them right in qs, but i should be realistic, utelize my time properly. Keep watching how i am using my time.
must complete genetics today- what should i complete ?
dna replic & repair,
transcription & rna proce
genetic code, mutation & trans
genetic regulation
Recombinant DNA
genetic testing
Uw qs, + other
reviewing qs may extend till tomorr,will see
It may not be practical to read everything in so many chapters, in short time, so pick up the weak areas, read them - TAKE A PEN &PAPER, write them on your own, this works very well for genetics.
WEAK AREAS - WRITE ON YOUR OWN - RECOLLECT, use stick notes, or small papers...paste them to the wall at the study place.
KEEP LOOKING AT THE WATCH - How weak iam, and how much time do i need ?
if i exceed that..then i am simply wasting my time.

what i extracted from your last post:my suggestions
1.look at the person sitting on your couch and bothering you as a ROSE PLANT WITH FLOWERS AND THORNS.stop focussing on thorns so much look at the flowers .and remember if he was born with your brain and those pathways as you have he will think as you do .but he has entirely different brain {size of frontal lobe is so small i guess and so on make up stories }and that is why he behaves the way he does .so please forgive him for having a brain which is entierly differnt from yours and this will give you a lot of relief .and focus focus on the roses roses {thats his nice side }
2.genetics will be littl ebit easier if u know what those things mean in lay man terms .just dont focus so much on getting your questions right but try these things
look at animations ofdna ,rna ,
try to draw a lot
try learning with colored skeches ,rubberbands to demonstrate.
3.i know you are racing against time .i can give you a friends telephone number who got 99%recently and she also didnt study much of genetics in her school
days .she is back from india .she would be more than willing to help you .
relax ,pray ,think of those childhood days when you had the most fun like riding a bike for the first time ,talk to some relative who knows your potential and who always like to encourage you .
i beleieve in your potential guyton .i realised that th efirst time i spoke to you .
so keep cool and study hard .
with love
janaki

days like this will come and go.so don't get worried.... may be you need a good break.. take a break and then get back to it with full force..... sometimes when i get really tired and fed up,i take a break and then later i think "oh i have wasted do much time,i need to work hard to make it up", and it revs me up... moreover a little time away from the books makes you miss them and you want to go back to them... something like they say absence makes the heart grow fonder..... am i sounding crazy to you?
i think its time for me to say goodnight before i write something crazier... but i am not going to erase what i just wrote... you never know someone might gain something...
good luck buddy

Hi!! Guyton, U really seem all worked up!!!Look a husband is a husband where ever he may be what ever profession he may be. I'm just happy for all the women who get their careers taken care of before they have kids!! My hub is a Physician so he should know how tough it is but it took him10 yrs to figure out that it is not easy for me to manage both my studies and children and looking after the house. hence the sitting at home. So think of u r hub he probably does'nt realize the amount of hard work u have to put in to get a DECENT score, or may be if he does probably does'nt want to admit it b'coz it would mean giving in or giving the medical prof more credit than his own. Everyone likes to think they have worked hard to acheive where they are and i guess he has a right to it, i'm not saying that he should not appreciate what ur doing but can u change it NO, So just leave it alone. Do ur best work hard and prove what u r worth!!! it might take u a little longer to get where u need to be for the exam maybe delay in a month but think of thre result. in the long run it will all be worth it. Trust me.that is not the worst of it
when ever i feel unappreciated or am in similar situation like u r's (and i have had worse days than that trust me) i always think of women who r in worst position than i am and of women who have succeeded against all odds. it gives me hope that i can do it too. see that is why i am taking things slowly not rushing it b'coz i want to do good. my ultimate aim is not to get 99(which i would love too, for the person i was 10 yrs ago that would have been easy) but to get into a residency. and once ur on u r feet working all the respect and appreciation andconsideration will be at u r feet in abundance.
So look at the light at the end of the tunnel. don't let the bylanes distract u. focus and keep going. the most impotant thing keep u r cool!!!! will be praying for u guyton, don't worry about any thing.

Thanks Mary and janaki,
you guys are really good frens, sprinkling some cold water since i am frying my brain for the past one week....all this rush and tension is....becoz of the ECFMG, i applied for the elig period mar-apr-may, got the permit, its time to take the date,...
so i have been receiving emails and mails regarding this.
mary, i wil definitely consider your words,
Preperation never ends unless we put a stop, also since we are reading 7 subj at a time, retaining the subject will be difficult unless we maintain that continuity. These subs are like....they need constant attention, if we keep ourselves off from books...we forget everything and will have to start all over again.
thats why i am racing with time, and also few things are happening around me, which are making me nuts....its like everything adding up !
anyway, i have good folks around me .......to count on !

Yest'day evening i just prepared some special for dinner, then watched movie, and hit the bed....woke up late in the morning...thats around 10hrs sleep !!!!!!!!
