2 Months Before Step 1 Exam!

I am only 2 months away from Step 1 exam. This is crazy! My dream of becoming a doctor is going to come true very soon. Unfortunately, I have been struggling with Step 1 prep, especially on Uworld problem sets. The procrastination is real. My current plan is to finish off all the in class material and try to do at least 100-200 questions (that is about 3-4 blocks) per day. So far I am 90% done on Rx, about to start DIT sets, and about 20% done on Uworld!

This week has been tough for me. Not only because of the rejection letter I received from the MDPhD program, but also the lack of motivation that I had during the week. I missed 2 days of classes and I fell completely behind on the material. Thank God that this unit has been a lot of review for me at this point, so I am not too concerned :). For those of you who wish to enter medical school, it is okay to slack off here and there! Do make sure to have a plan to rebound back to where you were. Now I am at a coffee shop in downtown Salt Lake City taking a break from studying since 10am this morning. I also wish to start writing on this blog again as a personal journey towards becoming a cardiologist. This road is going to be long and tough but I am confident that I will succeed one day!
