Ok, now is 7.35pm and I am going to start with the studying for today. Psych on my menu for tonite :-) See how far I can go. I plan to finish psych Kaplan by tomorrow nite. God give me strength to fulfill my dream!
@drms Be brave set up a date, that is how friend adviced me. Later you can even change it with 14 day notice without charge, but setting a date gives you deadline.

You are my hero! so you work fulltime and you are taking your exam in 4m? and I feel that 4 months is too little for me  now I got more courage from you sweetie  thanks!
Are you doing the videos? or just reading? Psychiatry is one of those fun subjects, well Daugherty always make it fun to study, I just need to picture his face and smile 
Keep up the good work Doc, we are going to nail this test. I feel so motivated after reading all your posts, I will have a great day today.
Meanwhile, keep fighting Doc

How far are you in Psych? I like pscy too, i think it is fun subject to read with out too much stress on the brain. I was having problems remembering the psych meds and groups. Lots of question inQB on th meds, so learn them well.

I have done IM and neurology,Gyn-OB only from Crush (but will do Kaplan in the next two weeks).
I still have pediatrics and surgery. But as in my med school, pediatrics you know when you master IM, then pediatrics and surgery are easy...So I will do one more time IM, and then will go quick on pediatrics and surgery.
Good luck to you.
It sounds little time, but I have been reading for the past two months, even some Rapid Review neurology last year....it was time for me to pay the exam, set the date, and put pressure on myslef for this last 4 months of preparation...Because USMLE preparation can take forever. I know I will feel that i ma not ready ready, but that feeling will always follow me, you can never know everything.
Also, I will take few days off before the exam to review it fast. So, this should be enough with God's help.
Good luck to you, and you are so funny and cool with your smileys in the post that I enjoy reading!
How is your pregnancy going on?

Previous post was answer to Grazie...
I haven't seen that so many people posted on my journal (o blind me....)
I am going to finish psych today, but I have read it some last year (out of curiosity)...also I worked at psych for 5 months as reserach assistant, so I was doing rating scales with bipolar, schizophrenic patients etc...So, that is really easy for me...I have been doing reserach on olanzapine, risperdal etc...
Poor me, next week Gyn-OB...and I need to amke myself enjoy it

Ok, and now report for yesterday...I did good...I plan on finishing psych tonite. If I have time I will do questions from Q Book Kaplan, if not doesn't matter, I still stick to my 8 hours of sleep...
Friday and weekend is reserved for derm, epi and ethics...
I will stick to my plan, I eat regularly, sleep 8 hours, work full time. I can do it!
Next week is Gyn-OB and I am going to love it! It will be so interesting!!!
I shall buy flashcards and use them everywhere
I have two business trips ahead in September, both on East Coast! O jesus, I will take my flash cards with me, and enjoy loooong flights...
Good luck people and do not forget that if you want something and work hard towards it whole universe will help you achieve your goals...

Was doing medication most of the day, lost some time making flashcards but I will go through them at my lunch break, so time well spent.
Still have to finish few more things tonite in psych, so have only weekend for epi, derm and ethics etc.
I'll do good!
Happy studying everyone!

O yes, yesterday, you can see my posts from yesterday...I started studying at about half fast four (soon as I cam from work and had shower)....I just made a long one and a half breka in which I went grocery shopping, gas etc....But I studied until midnight...
Today during lunch breka I have gone through my psych medication flash cards....so I am doing good...I am in the "USMLE mode" now...I breath usmle, dream usmle, eat usmle...that is the only way, if I think of thousand other stuff that I could be doing,if I spread myself more than I am already...I will not be able to do it right. And I know i have no choice, I don't want to work in reserach for the next couple of years, I want to do my residency...
How has your day gone? GL!!!

No, I didn't. I made severel for psych meds yesterday....It works fine for me.As I can memorize them during lunch brekas :-)) I might buy Fischer's soon, over the weekend...That gives me one more hour of memorizing usmle every day, if I buy flashcards and go on a one hour lunch break. That is not little, right?When time is everything these days, that can help a lot. Especially for us full time workers.
