It seems that that always happens. When you need someone for the first time in your life you cant find him or he travels. The day when I needed my Dean's signature, he traveled and I had to wait several days.

I want to CRY!!!

I have all that I wished for, But I am just not confident about taking Step 2 CK soon.

Hands are full.. studying for CK, packing for the observership next month, next month I will do observership+study for CK,I'm yet working on PS and CAF and preparing the program list, My sleep cycles all inverted, My eyes hurt because of SPK.

I"ve got the observership and I'm grateful for that, but I hope that I willbe able to do justice to both CK and observership. I am looking back and thinking.. what went wrong??? why did I not complete exams in time?? I am just not so confident. And because of my SPK i've wasted a total of three months I guess.. I can't read when it comes up... and there's apparently no cure, only tear supplements.

rolling eyes

I am sure that most of us feel the same way. smiling face

All days are the same.

No body but USMLEers understand what is going on.

Very high expectations from people around you. They assume it is encouraging. But from persoanl experience I found that sometimes it can be harmful.

That is why we hang around these forums. So we can find people that understand and appreciate what we are going through.

Hang on there. It will all be done soon.

Imagine what students used to go through before there was internet. shocked

he says, he can book the hotel we are supposed to check out for that night, but he cant cancel the other hotel that he already paid for that night, in that case, we have to pay 2 hotels for same night, shaking head

Well, if you have your laptop with you and if they have wifi in the lobby, watch YouTube for a couple of hours. Watch a movie or something. If you do not have an account on Facebook, make one! Listen to one Goljan lecture. Sit near the pool (if the hotel has one), enjoy it and have something to drink. ... ... ... it cant be that bad.

When everything is done and you are all settled probably you would like to discuss what happened with him so this does not happen again. You know, you do not want it to become a habit.

I'm tired of no one understanding what we are all going through. I think we ought to write something in the News just to "inform the public."
It should start: "Listen buddy...."

milee, I can totally understand what you are going through. I am in a similar kinda situation. I am currently doing an observership in a clinical pathology lab, have CK on 9/11, Step 1 on 9/30, worried I might be late for the apps.

This observership is taking hellotta time of the day and I am tired by evening, no energy to study. I have a presentation to give this monday, have to impress my mentor and all that. And a journal paper review face to face with my mentor coming friday so that he can assess me for an LOR. So half my time is gone preparing for this "impression" stuff. I don't know if I am doing the right thing. I am just holding my breath and jumping into the river without a slightest idea if I can swim. (btw, I can swim in real lifesticking out tongue)

The day I decide to start studying big time....my 14 month nephew gets a ear infection... poor guy... he is in distress.... and me coz .. he cant go to day care... and I need to baby sit him.
Next week... he is fine... and the day care lady is on official leaveshaking head
2 weeks gone down the drain!
i study for one week.....and at the same time worry coz my LOR's and MSPE is delayed..
Next week i need to subscribe the UW and...the computer DIES...mad
some temporary adjustments.... and I start solving the UW...
Next day my nephew gets another ear infection...confused
on most nights....I cry myself to sleep...
Coz nothing... nothing at all seems to be working my way.
I finally sent my documents today...
My visa expires in 6 weeks.... and I have applied for step 3..
Some times when I plan for the day... I can feel GOD laughing at me... for trying so hardsad

drnaik:

Just do your best... Two months before sitting for step 2 CK, I learned my second son needed a nephrectomy. I cried like never had, I didn't even care about the test or my career, I was so afraid I would lose him... And at the end, everything went the best way possible, the test and the surgery! I am praying for you. Just keep studying every break you have. nod

My rant and wave: apparently, the only person who offered me a LOR will be the only one not sending one! shockedshocked shocked But it's OK... He's still a nice guy I like a lot, no matter what... smiling face
