 Hi folks joining all of you.....had a long break after CS.....no USCE either so thought of doing part 3 at least...I think my chances of a residency are slim for 2010...be prepared better for 2011.
Lets start the journey again.

CM, me too! I don't think I'm well-prepared for this match.  Oh well, at least we'll be more than ready for 2011
Hey Rosie, how's your prep going dear? Do you have Premier notes? Where can we get these?

dl i answered ur q... ur enthusiasm always inspires me girl...
ok... i really relate to the journal title of girl_interrupted..' conquering my fear'..
i opened this journal on oct 1st... today is 14th... 2 whole weeks have gone by and i have done absolutely nothing... i am really ashamed of the way i am wasting my time... its a crime
why am i not studying??? i'd rather do anything than sit n read... i keep saying tomorrow i'll start.. everytime i drive myself into this major time crunch and i go crazy.. and this time its really bad...
exam is hardly 45 days away with few ivs in the middle!! plus gotto shop and prepare for them.. plus lose some weight ... am actually worried pgms might discriminate against me as im overweight dont get me wrong... i am not whining or feeling sorry for myself... im just really angry with myself!
i have 5 iv calls till now.. out of these one of them is THE program i want... so why not i just stop this waiting and worrying and wasting time and prepare to ace these ivs instead...
i'm just quite scared of this exam... its very unfamiliar... and more than anything i have very less time which is freaking me out! and im the only reason for this... i technically had 2 extra months which i just flung out the window...
sorry about this breakdown... please dont waste ur time reading this... i just need to face myself and talk some sense into my lazy mind...
ok... i really need a plan... pushing the exam is just not going to happen ... im just going to do it on dec 1 and 2..
that leaves me with 47 days minus 4 days for 2 ivs = 44 days!!
44 days it is... that is alot of time if i just sit and use it sensibly. i keep having the urge to push the exam by 10 days... but NO!.. i work best under pressure and right now there's a good amount of it.
strategy ... keep it simple..
just do uw , MTB and KPLN ck bks as time permits, usmle cd and a few videos from KPLN cds.
i feel ive run out of steam just writing all this down
i have to just stay in the zone... 44 days... tick ! tick! TICK!!!!
its nearing 7 pm now... will go exercise, shower , cook and then put in a good 2 hours of study .
I WILL DO THIS!

wow...great journal rose...
I know you're going to do it. You have the right amount of spirit. How can you bring yourself to NOT move your exam date? I have to learn something from you..
I lost track these last 3 days Keep telling myself I will delay the exam which is worsening the situation...Interviews are on 1,4,15 Dec... One of them is THE one. No suit shopping, no tummy weight lost, no interview prep, no studies...!!! Even the lab work is going lousy..Stuff not working the way I had hoped it would...

hi girl interrupted...i see a very similar spirit in u.. step 3 is crucial for my H1B visa... and no way i can mess with that... we can do it girl... just gotto do it!! dont give urself that cushion to push date.. that somehow just never does it for me...
anyways... after all the talk last nite... i reviewed only 12 uw qs..... had to go and attend to some other work... but atleast i sat down to study, and overcame the starting jitters ... and i FEEL like studying now .. which is a big step in the rite direction
time now is 8: 20 am... will report b4 lunch...
