From my dear friend, SOS:

Do your best

There are no shortcuts

on the way to a dream,

So give all that you have

to all that you do

And above all things,

believe in yourself.

This is all your dream asks of you.

But this is everything.

Ok, I think I am motivated enough now...lets continue and get ready for my biggest battle of all...

I am still doing Hematology....I found it hard...but hv to learn it well for my day.

Study499, I dont think God ever gets tired of our prayers. But also, God only helps those who helps themselves. ( I am sure I put a spin there on an old saying!)
I have completed all USMLE steps and am currently about to finish my intern year in residency. It has all been good! wink

  #118

Veteran,

It is so nice of you still here helping others. I am sorry for misunderstanding.

Well done for your achievements...

May 22 / 14 days till my NBME:

Plan for today:

Endocrine + Micro(1hr)+ Immuno(2hrs) + Biochem(2hrs)

What is done:

Only Thyroid and Some Micro

Why?

1) Started late as slept late the night before

2) was not disciplined enough and easily lost hrs( could not keep up with 50 mins reading 10 mins rest....too badddd.

3) headache in d afternoon so slept for 2 hrs.

Also went out for a long walk...1.30 hr.

P.S. this is only for me to follow my progress and improve...not for anyone to get discouraged...my aim other than success in d exam is to encourage others as well...so I am helping myself and you too can do this...I know ultimately I will make my dream come true...just a matter of time and change...

Oh BTW, Congrats to all Manchester United fanssmiling face

Ok I can not repeat these mistakes again...

It is all about being disciplined...If I can not manage this prep and this exam, how on earth I am going to manage my biggest exam...LIFE...

So I am usually more disciplined in a library...but can not go to one becoz of family issues...Just hve to work on it...just hv to try hard to sit for 50 min continuously then very short break and then start again...just hv to do this...and shld not lose any hr in between...shld sit still, focused and read fast...

have to wake up early...can not study late even if i am awake...the best time for me is early morning...

I hope i wont let myself down again tomorrow...

Good night my dear journal and friends.
