Day 17

November 2, 2007

Well, I finished my 2nd set of 5 pages of First Aid for the USMLE Step 1: 2007 (FIRST AID FOR THE USMLE- STEP 1 ONLY) quite easily today! That was a GREAT start. And, I was also able to finish chapter 3 of BRS Pathology (Board Review Series). For me, it [...]

Day 14

October 30, 2007

Well, began pathology today. Chapter one of BRS Pathology (Board Review Series) has been incredibly easy. But, I again went terribly slow. I just can’t get down to reading this stuff. I don’t know why. What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I stay motivated??? OH MAN! Well, [...]

Day 13

October 29, 2007

Finally finished chapter 6 of Lippincott’s Illustrated Reviews: Pharmacology (Lippincott’s Illustrated Reviews Series). Boy has then been a painful and harrowing experience! I still haven’t finished Unit 2 of this book!!! But, I can’t continue this any longer! I’m gonna’ put Lippincott’s Illustrated Reviews: Pharmacology (Lippincott’s Illustrated Reviews Series) down to [...]

Day 12

October 28, 2007

Spent the day STRUGGLING to read the third chapter of four in Unit 2 of Lippincott’s Illustrated Reviews: Pharmacology (Lippincott’s Illustrated Reviews Series). I’ve taken a bit more time on this, because I spent much of the day at wikipedia.org teaching myself organic chemistry. I actually made it into Med school and into [...]

Day 9

October 25, 2007

Again, I didn’t come close to completing my intended plan. Though, I did get closer than before, but cheated. I substituted another chapter of BRS Behavioral Science (Board Review Series) in place of my intended Lippincott’s Illustrated Reviews: Pharmacology (Lippincott’s Illustrated Reviews Series). So, I finished 2 chapters of Behavioral Science Chapters [...]

Day 6: Behavioral Science and a Run

October 22, 2007

Well, it took me just 30 minutes to read the first chapter of BRS Behavioral Science (Board Review Series). It was incredibly interesting and required very little effort to read. The questions at the end of the chapter and reviewing the answers took me only 15 more minutes! I got 13 out [...]

Day 6: Pharmacology and Behavioral Science

October 22, 2007

Just finished the second chapter\first unit of Lippincott’s Illustrated Reviews: Pharmacology (Lippincott’s Illustrated Reviews Series). It took me 30 minutes more than the expected hour to finish. I got all three of the review questions correct, too.
All right, now I’m gonna’ do a switchover to Behavioral Science for a single chapter and then I’ll switch [...]

Day 5: Pharmacology

October 21, 2007

I woke up late. Oh well. Well, today, I begin a new subject and a new book. The book I will be using is one that is recommended in First Aid for the USMLE Step 1: 2007 (FIRST AID FOR THE USMLE- STEP 1 ONLY). The First Aid for the [...]

Day …4

October 21, 2007

I’ve been going bloody slow. Just dilly dallying, in fact. Warming up to the serious work I’ve gotta’ do, really. Just spent the past several days ordering required resources for my preparations – Well, indirectly required resources, that is… Yeah, I’m talking about exercise equipment. I just picked up a [...]
