thank you so much for the inspiring words , almost done with CNS did qs (just few) but happy.

Hir, just remember we have to do it , stay away from negative thoughts.....going to the library or if you don't mind people around you you can go to a coffee shop too. that is what i started to do now. It helps a lot, especially for me ....becoz when i am home i cant help not thinking about the chores around the house and start doing something or the other .

No depression in our way ...no being sad ....

just keep an extra 35-40 min everyday for revision of what you do the day before it helps retain....pls remind me to do that too......as i forget to do that....

ok have to go......next stop starbucks (even though the music is too loud) but that is the place that opens at 5am it is already 6:20
