Hi pipi,
How was the test? Is it easy? Are you going to switch to being a phlebotomist for sometime, so yu have more time to study? Or did you need it as part of your job requirement. I draw blood at work but did not need to get certified for it. Just curious.
I like the way you plan your weekends. That is good, we all need that break. Good luck with studying. Update from me is compelted kaplan QB in tutor mode and averaged 66%. I won't trust the scores because i did them all subject wise and tutor mode. Surgery and Psych need another good reading. Will chalk out a good plan for second review but plan is to concentrate on IM now.

Ok Doc, I wish you a very fruitful day 
See you around Doc

Hi Pipi,

I want to increase to 12 hours next week.
Good luck

Hello friends,
OMG I am like "grandma advice" (sorry that is direct translation from my language")...Grazie dear, as long as I remember I didn't tell YOU  to buy lucky bamboo, it was for zeenat ....  ....
I am just teasing you!!!!!
Funny, you take all my advices...And you know where that comes from? From my Venezuelan godmother, she thought me feng shui...I was obsessed few years ago...
So, I told zeenat to do fresh start, clean desk, put motivational sticky notes all around, buy lucky bamboo.....You can also find them in stores, like food stores...I don't know if I can mention the name, have no any financial interest 
which is to bad, I can study for USMLE and sell lucky bamboos for IMG's  Ideas just pops into my mind......
Ok, I have all day today for obstetrics, I was pretty good yesterday nite until one moment  , so I just need to keep doing good today.
No vineyards for the weekend, it will take all day and I don't have that luxury. Just a short half day trip to air museum..
Have to go, will report later... 
good luck papio and life rocks...
You have enough time papio, I work full time and its kind of scary at this point...If somneone who worked full time and passed step 2 can tell me "I did it" I would feel so much better! Anyone please????????

Grazie,
there are also smaller bamboos, and also these bigger sticks that you find. Actually I had trouble finding sticks for a bigger vase that I bought long time ago, so I think I will also order them from ebay...
Hahahah! Girl you are so good, the moment you read it you find it on ebay...You are like my hubby. I told him "There are some flashcards for USMLE"..Few minutes later he ordered them from ebay.So I have pharmacology flashcards, and also he ordered the other two?! Poor hubby with USMLE wife 
I looove him so much  I don't think he will drop by this forum, I believe he has enough of USMLE all around the house already!
Good luck guys! Be strong!!!!

Hey Doc Pipi,
It is a blessing to have a nice husband, well my mom used to say that "we get the husband/wife that we deserve", because we are the ones who pick them  well, I love my choice too 
So, Pipi, are you studying on weekends?, I am not at all because hubby is around and I just want to go out with him, church and do stuff around together, movies, things I can do with this big tummy but I guess as the days approach and the baby's due is getting closer I need to do that extra work to try to finish my 1st good reading, i regret so much wasting valuable days but there is nothing I can do  I can only make my days better and filled with CK Knowledge, QBank solved questions and keep going, so that's my plan.
Pipi, I really appreciate your words of support  God sent you to me, to kick my booty and give me energy to make it through this next step in my life, please stick around, I will also cheer you up whenever you need me  it's a deal!
Have a good Sunday Doc Pipi

Pipi,
Sweetie, you need to re-charge your batteries, refresh my friend, do something relaxing like a bubble bath, or workout like crazy, it used to help me when I had a normal body
But even small steps is better than no steps, right? You are a good student doc, and the best booty kicker so now I am here to give you a little lift, come on give me 5 
You can do this Pipi

I would like to make a deal with God, keep me alive and healthy and I will devote all my knowledge and powers to help people!
I would never again complain about USMLE or anything in my life,I would cherish every day and every human being and I would do everything possible to show him my gratefullness for everything!
Sometimes we do not apprecaite enough what we have until we loose it!
I am chichken, I am not strong as I thought I am. Can't stop crying!
And this is the time in my life when I need to show my strength...So many poeple in my life told me I am so strong, I make them move and pursue their dreams even though they seem so hard to reach....and look at me now...
I need to stop crying, be happy wife for my hubby, study hard no matter what results will be. I need to live my life now!
Thank you all for all those words, I hope I can prove for myself that I am not chicken as now I believe I am.

THank you zeenat...So many people support me now. Thank you guys all! Hopefully I will be old pipi jumping around this forum.
Health is most important thing we all have!
So, never put your beds in the room directly to door, put them perpendicular with the entrance (am I explaining this right?) And never put bed where you sleep next to wall, your bedroom shares with bathroom! If those two rooms shares wall... Stupid me, I knew this and I put my bed in bad position....
I can't make deals with God. I can just pray and let my destiny in his hands now.
I will be back in track with studies soon! I will do my best!
I need to be strong for my hubby, for my mother, aunti, sister, nieces and my brother in law!

@zeenat
bed position:
It is not good to be in direct alignment (feet pointing out the door ~the Chinese and other cultures say this is the �death position)
Hope this helps...If everything is working even without lucky bamboo, then imagine how will it be with lucky bamboo, so then you can change your journal to "conquer with lucky bamboo"...
I will start studying again tomorrow. I am calmed down thanks to my hubby!I got so nice presents from him today, he made me coffee, let my favourite music, turn on the dimmed lights...I was lying down and relaxing most of the evening. I am blessed to have him by my side. 
GL everyone and keep going!
