well guys I'm back here again, writting in this post. I thought I was done with the american dream, but God wants me to puss harder on it, I PASSED my STEP 2 CS, I was so nervous because I had made lots of mistakes, because my test experience was really horrible, with lots of silly errors, and so much anxiety that I was almost sure I was going to fail, I was even working harder on my Spain plan, but now things have changed I'm back to the american dream, the one I started once upong a time, when I was young, and I could run and play soccer, when a child was dreaming of becoming a doctor and doing his residency in USA, that dream is still intact. wheather its fair or not, I don't know; but I know for sure I ll try harder for my next test and I ll try to go for this dream I started last year.
I want to thank everyone of you who helped me a lot, gaining my confidence, with some prayers, with some words, and also so much support I got from my friends.....
It has been such a nice week, I remember 2 weeks before the result day I was so anxious about it that I barely could slpeep. I started to wake up in the middle of the night, after only 2 hours of sleep, and couldn't sleep anymore, I had this guilty feeling about my test..and the day I got my result I was on the PC until late but I didnt get the results and I was so pissed off because I thought I had failed. but the woke up one day in the morning checked on the web..and it had the most beautifull red letters saying I had already passed the test...I was so relieved it was early mornig so I waited for my partents to wake up and told them the news..they got really happy ..even happier than me..and then I realised why I passed ....it was due to my parents prayers and all their support....they didnt take the test but they were always sure I was passing and they supported me everytime.... I owe them so much I hope I can pay them back someday...
well that is all for today..by the way take care guys..keep praying for me..and watch the American soccer cup...and cheers for Peru please
good luck guys... I m back.

decision time!
well guys this have been such a hard week for me, I had lots of problems ...lots of thins to think about...so many doubts..so many dreams..so many options...but very few decisions....
but I just wanted to tell you my very big decision... I just gave up about THE AMERICAN DREAM..yeah I quit...no more english medical reading...
I dont have good english, I dont look like american, so many culture differences... I was trying to imagine...me in the ER having a patient with a medical emergency..how stupid should I look and sound...with my poor english..maybe I dont even understand him... or me trying to tell a patient there is some problem with his voice..when I cant even pronounce voice correctly.....
or how can I handle all the money to apply for the american dream..
I wasted one year of my life trying the american dream...now I m 1 year older...and didnt do anything..just wasted time..so now I ll work in my country..and also started my paperwor for spain medical residency,,so maybe next post you ll have to read in spanish
well just wanted to thank everyone...for the support during this year ...and I hope the best for you guys.. I hope I never dissapointed you guys....
so....nos vemos chicos..un abrazo desde el invierno de lima,"

Top 10 Signs of Studying Too Long
Top 10 Signs of Studying Too Long
1. You get excited about switching pen colors.
2. Your roommate comes home from a weekend away and says, “Surprise, you’re still sitting there! Have you changed clothes at least?”
3. Your mom calls and after talking for a few minutes says, “I’ll call back tomorrow and maybe you’ll be in a better mood.”
4. Unless you turn off your internet connection, you check email/cnn/gossip site/website of choice every 5 minutes.
5. It’s summer and 85 degrees outside but your bathing suit is still in winter hibernation.
6. Your middle finger starts to get that weird indentation on it from writing too much.
7. You can tell what time it is by hearing the squeaky school bus brakes outside the window (7:40am and 3:35pm).
8. Every single coffee mug is dirty in the dishwasher.
9. Your apartment is either really clean (because study break = manic tidying session) or looks like a tornado ran through it.
10. You sit still so long that reading about decubitus ulcers and DVTs becomes a little more relevant
BOnus track
* U have named your computer & have conversations with it.
* U dont understand Y everyone doesnt do ALL their shopping on-line.....(( I even order my groceries...so I dont have to waste time driving .....))
* your kitchen is now your office...because it took too long to walk to and from the kitchen to the office where it was....
* your house has started to resemble those seen in those studies on people who are recluse....i.e. piles of studies...piles of journals...open/ closed/ torn out pages.....piles of pizza boxes....
* your neighbors have stopped coming by because "we never know if you are sleeping, writing, studying......."
* U spend time writing posting responses in an effort to cry out to the world for contact!!!
