thanks for dropping by robin

somehow i am not finding psychiatry difficult.. its going quick,, its interesting
but my idea of doing questions on IM GIT didint work out
i tried to do qs from harrisons self assesment and found it overwhelming...i think i am not ready for it yet..so i stopped it..

now i have decided to do my second reading of kaplan IM becuase i dont think i can remember much from the first read..i feel if i do a through second read with emphasis on my weak areas( i know what they r !!!) and understanding concepts then i would be in a better position to do questions.. i might have to read few topics here and there from CMDT.. to brush up my concepts.
i feel there is no point in me rushing to do questions when i have not memorized the IM stuff properlly...i think i will get frustated if i do questions now

also i bought pretest IM and peds today , still in a dilemma whether it was good decision or not, anyway i thought atleast for the money i am spending( not mine , my parents!!!) i will get serious abt studies.

i am thinking i will use them to reinforce /revise /recall the kaplan stuff
after my second read of kaplan i will subscribe to uw

I started to revise IM cvs today and gosh!!!! i was feeling so damn bored to study.. disapproval
i cant understand why ??? is it laziness or just lack of motivation or bored ..i dont know
just felt so frustated with myself , i am just venting here now

i never make a timetable becuase i never follow it, actually i think subconsuiously i am scared that i would get tensed if i dont stick to it so i never make one

but i think its time i push myself hard ,i will start with small plans so that i stick to it
okay
revise IM by 24 march
i have to do this
i will do it
god give me the strength ,
