Hi Gang

ecfmg09, Quick is not the word that applies to me right now but believe me I am trying, hopefully I can get to your speed soon


Jiya, I followed your advice and made my daily schedule, and I really hope to stick to it, it's much easier to think 1 day ahead, thanks for the advice, and coming from another expecting mother it means a lot to me, I accept I have been kind of wimp through this pregnancy but hopefully I will get better through the days. Thanks Jiya

Pipi, I am glad you like the emoticons it is really easy after you get used to it, I love computer stuff, actually I studied engineering before medicine so I like to learn this cutie stuff, but this is really easy, I signed for photobucket website, it's free, and then uploaded the images I like and then just posted the link they give me, really easy. www.photobucket.com

Milee, sweetie, I am going slow but at least I am hanging in there, I see you are nailing your prep, proud about you doc keep it up!


Angel23, my angel doc I am doing the videos from kaplan but it takes quite long, anyway I am still in GI, buuuh but at least I am trying buddy .
I see you are rocking all over I am so glad and also encouraged for docs like you guys.

Thanks for the support to everyone.
Ok, now I gotta go back to my GI Videos



Grazie.

Thanks Milee, I have been trying to organize myself, today is Aug 3rd and eventhough it's sunday I will get some stuff done today to make up for my lousy past week but only few hours.. You are welcome to use my emots

Pipi, I love your new avatar I remember a friend of mine got a costum for halloween, she was supossed to be "Pipi" but instead everybody thought that she was "Ugly Betty", she was pretty though, it was just the glasses she used to wear it was so funny, but that's how I knew about "Pipi", and now I love my new friend Pipi99


Ok Guys,
As an advice from Dr. Jiya, I got the courage to make my schedule, it goes something like this:

Read 20pgs/day from Kaplan Notes
At this pace I can do my 1st Good reading in 2 months.
Do daily questions from Score95 Subject - Oriented

The Order:
Internal Medicine
Surgery
Ob-Gyn
Pediatrics
Psychiatry - Epidemio - Ethics

Schedule for Coming Week Aug 4 to 10:


As the days for delivery get closer, I should be sure to get this stuff done, please guys, kick my booty whenever you can, I will do the same with you docs


Ok, I will read some GI stuff now, I know Videos are boring but this is my only chance to review them.
See you around CK Fighters...

Nice journal,
keep it up and good luck with the exam and of course, the baby!
I´m happy for you, girls rockgrin

  #31

You are amazing

Pipi is really cool, little bit irritating child...My hubby told me that its more similar to my character these days, than the other calm down girl praying

so I changed...

Now I need to hit the books, had 72% on psych test. I should have done better...I will make huge paper above my desk with psychopharmacology so I can look at it every single day until my exam!

You dear Grazie better hit the books before


Hmm you really got me with those animations, now I am becoming pro

Good luck everyone! Keep working hard and praying that your work pays off and you will be more than good doctors for your patients, you will be EXCEPTIONAL!

Hi Gang

I didn't want to post earlier today until I was able to accomplish my goals for the day, it's a little late but now I am happy to inform that I did it! I cover the topics I was supossed to do today from GI, so I feel such a relief but I still think I am doing slow with the videos but I guess through the days I will get faster and will definitely improve, or at least that's the plan

Pipi, you are now the master of emots huh? I feel such a huge energy in you that I am jealous but I think it's because now I feel the stress from trying hard, it's just my baby steps, through the days I hope to get in a better mood and shape

Ruthjoe, I really wish you the best for your step 1, it's a tough one but after it you will get more confidence, and I am glad you are joining us very soon

Milee, As you see I am doing my baby Steps but now a little more strict than before, I made the commitment to do my 20pgs a day and ...


Today I also did my 45min workout with this lady


It's so encouraging to see her, working so hard despite having such a huge belly, I was taking it easy though since I am just a beginner smiling face I definitely feel better after being done with my daily goals for today, it's almost 8pm and after a nice bath I think I deserve a ginger cookie and a "Oh mama ginger ale elixir" with hubbie

Tomorrow I will be checking you guys at your spaces, but I can see everybody working hard these days, keep up the good work Docs and remember, at the end...

Hi Amigos (Friends)

I survived the thunderstorm from monday night in Chicago, it was really ugly, I never saw something like that, my poor baby girl was jumping inside my belly with the very noisy thunders, what the heck! and then we lost the electricity in the whole neighborhood and it's been like that until now, I am using an electric generator that my sweet hubby put yesterday but it only covers few stuff like refriegrator, computer and 1 tv. I can't believe I am living this in US, it reminds me back in those years in my country Peru, when the terrorists were attacking the electrical towers and we were all left with no electricity for days, I hope we recover the power soon here because with no air conditioner I don't know how long can I survive, it is really hot

Anyway, I got some stuff done yesterday , at least done with GI, today I will start Endocrine, I am using K-Notes 2007 so the order is like that, I am just following it.

I hope you guys are in better conditions than me, Hang in there guys, I always appreciate your support , thanks


Grazie.

hi,

So is the power back? Are you OK? Yes, it is hard to survive without electricity in the US. Study well dear.

Hello Docs


Today is Thursday and somehow I figured out to study yesterday and finish my schedule on time! WooooHooo!
Yes, Doc ECFMG09, the electricity is back, finally thanks for your concern , so now I should accomplish my goals for today faster, because I am supossed to study until 5pm and after just workout and refresh, well it should happen today and not study until 9pm, asking myself for a break that I couldn't afford until I finished my chapters.


So, for today I have: RHEUMATOLOGY. As I said I am following Kaplan Notes 2007 so I am just following the chapters as they come and getting done 20pgs a day.

RHEUMATOLOGY:
Evaluation of a Pt with R.Disease
RA
SLE
Scleroderma
Sjogren Sd
Seronegative arthropathies
Osteoarthritis
Gout - Pseudogout
Septic Arthritis
Vasculitis Sds
Myopathies


PREVENTIVE MEDICINE:
Cancer Screening
Travel Medicine
ImmunizationsSmoking Cessation.

And that will be it for today

Ok Docs, I know everybody is working really hard these days, keep it up, it also encourages me to keep strong. thanks to everybody


Grazie.
