Ramblings: step 2 CK



Yesterday was much better. I studied all day.

Going through questions takes a lot longer that I expected/wanted since I'm going through the answers simultaneously, checking why all the wrong answers are wrong, and writing down what i feel is relevant (a lot.) Also, I was going to push myself through the night to finish up everything but decided against it since I plan on waking up early to start studying. I would be counterproductive if I incapacitate myself as a result of exhaustion. Its OK, so long as I keep shooting for 200 questions everyday I will not slack off.

 Push push push thats the name of the game.

did > 200 uworld questions --n (did 105 questions)

Ramblings: Step 2 ck

This exam is harder than i expected. i took a few nbme's and although I have been steadily improving in everyone that I've taken the results are still bad. I haven't passed one. I need to bring my scores up. For now I'll finish uworld a second time and finish and review internal med kaplan notes. Baby steps. I'll get there.

Doubt...

I push back my wheeled office chair from the table, upon which books are sprawled, and feel some doubt. Doubt as to whether I can do this, doubt as to whether I will do great on this exam, and when all is done will I make it into residency.  However, its a fleeting feeling/thought. There is no time for doubt. There's only time to grind as hard as possible and let the chips fall where they will.

Now thats done its time to answer the call of the wild, my books are getting impatient.

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!!
