Well - anyone giving it then or around then? I have 16 days. I'm going to be maxing them out. If anyone is interested in getting together or skyping I'm open to the idea.
Thank you.
Now - what I'm doing here is taking about 20 min and maybe that many lines each of my 16 days to share what I've done/learnt/plan to do/feel. I would appreciate any guidance or critique, and if my ramblings help some one out, well - nothing like it right?
I have the 2nd edition of FA, from which I read already Sec 1 - the basics, now I will read Sec II- the encounter. I'm marking generously every line that seems important, and so far I've gathered this one is entirely different from Step 1 - for that is was actual facts and retention that mattered. This one, the CS - is more of what you physically bring. So there is physical practice that seems key.
Anyhow, so over the next few hours, I intend to finish reading all about The Encounter in FA. Then I will read the first 4 sections of UW (I have the 2008 ed), which covers History, Physical Documentaion and Tips. I will go over Neeraj if possible, then Skim the forum for experiences. At night, I intend to do my first run through of an actual case, see how it works. That's it for now. I want to cover all my bases arm myself with the info today, so tomorrow I can delve into actual cases, do an untimed one then another timed, write out my PN's, all that. I see how there are 31 numbered cases in UW and more than that in FA, will also refer to the ones missing. Tentatively, I'm thinking if I can start with giving 35 min to a case for my first two days, and do about 6, add 10 min to perfect the PN, 45 min x 6 = 4.5 hours. I will give as much time as needed to each case when I am editing. I have already bribed one of my b(r)others into playing SP initially. I intend to get my act together on him, then coerce the other brother over the next 3 days, then finally a dear friend to perfect the technique on. I wil reassess my plan on Day 3.
For now, that is it. I intent to report back tonight. I am prepared to be doing lots of talking aloud over the next two weeks, and smiling at an empty room and feeling up my pillow :}
At all hours though, I am subconsciously begging God to let me pass Step 1, because I know the result will come in soon.
Annnnnyway - this is Day 1.
