but in terms of how i'm feeling about my exam

I'm so happy

Wanna make you happy and then she goes I'll leave you alone I'll leave you alone Tell me first to me

You and me The same thing is different We're out of time Love me one more

The past few years The past few years I'm going to be there.

I'm going to sell you even more days to practice questions on key Amor vehicles

or content even if it's only going to make up 20% in the exam Oh

When I was with you I was always with you I was just going home You sometimes don't like us

I'd rather end with you I'm so tired I'm so tired I'm so tired I'm so tired I'm so tired

I'm so tired I'm so tired I'm so tired I don't want to do anything else

So baby tell me why not Why not You and your daughter It has been approximately five hours.

I checked out approximately four and a half things off of one, two, three, four, five, six,

seven, eight, three and a half things out of my eight item list.

So it's not necessarily a slay, but I'm just going to go over a moon and then I'm going to keep studying at home.

So let's back up.

I'm going to go to the next one.

Thank you.

I'm

going to

go to the next video.

you really know when i'm starting to feel the pressure from an exam

when i start having dreams about treatment options so the first thing

that i do whenever i wake up is usually try to

write down what i've been dreaming about it's like a little self-check self-quiz

so this morning i thought i didn't know the pyelonephritis treatment

options these are empiric therapies i just started writing it on

my like glass door you can see i have a bunch over there as well

and it actually turns out that i didn't know a few of them

so this is one of the ways

that i stay motivated i literally ask myself like a quiz question

if i get it wrong then that fear of like being wrong

and like failing is what motivates me so

if you guys ever need motivation just like quiz yourself whenever you're doing something like mundane like brushing your teeth

or just getting dressed for the day and

if you don't know the answer you get it wrong then

that will probably motivate you to like get it together so

okay guys i'm officially at the midpoint of my pharmacy school

semester i have six weeks left i obviously have my 40 final in a couple days

and let me just say the workload has been humbling me

it's not just knowing drug names anymore it's really about applying clinical knowledge

so i'm going to show you guys how I've been studying for midterms

and exams using goth goth is free

and the number one app in education it's a study tool

that works across all subjects math english science history geo

and even for something specific like therapeutics

which is what I'm studying where the questions can be

so conceptual I actually scored 10% higher on my last test by doing a ton of practice clinical case

and application questions so I highly recommend that you incorporate

that into your studying

so here's what I really love about it you can just

scan your notes upload a lecture recording lecture slides even paste a youtube video link

or even just type in a topic and goth will automatically generate a full study set for you.

There's a study guide, there's interactive flashcards, which you guys know I really love to use as well.

And the number one thing that I love is the practice quizzes.

And this is all pulled from the materials that you upload.

So everything is accurate to what you've been taught and what you're expected to know.

So this is an example of the quiz that was generated for my antimicrobial spectra, which is honestly what everyone needs to study for the infectious disease exam.

But as I was saying earlier, I think practicing application questions are super important.

And here are some of the questions that were generated by goth based on my therapeutics notes, which helped me exercise my decision-making.

You guys can try out golf for yourself for free at my link in the description box below to get started Okay, guys, i've just gotten ready now and normally i'm never glam

or put together during exam week

But i'm headed out into the city for one of my

best friend's baby's birthday party I can't believe emil's already turning one.

He's gotten so big and I love him so much And

so that's my alarm and we need to head out right now Amiya!

Amiya!

Oh my gosh!

He's going to be

Three Star Michelin Chef!

Happy birthday to you!

Weep!

I'm so excited

to be here.

I'm going

to go to the next video.

I brought this all the way up from Toronto.

It's Rubik's Raspberry Cheesecake Ice Cream.

It is so good.

You can see the container is like half empty and I'm the only one that eats it.

So I just go in straight.

I don't even bother taking it out into a bowl.

But literally, the best ice cream in the city.

And I wish that they shipped it so that I wouldn't have to go to Toronto every time I wanted it.

But it moved on.

It has like real strawberry bits and even graham cracker crust in the bottom.

And that's like some of the best part.

Hi guys, good morning.

I am so tired.

I studied so much yesterday.

Today, I officially have two days left before my final.

But I actually have yet to cover one of the topics on the exam

and i've been kind of putting it off I'm gonna try to wash up and wake up and i'll explain

So the reason why i've been putting off this topic for

so long is because I know it's gonna take me a lot of time

And normally if something's gonna take you a long time, you should do it first But this topic and I have a history.

So that's why i'm just Absolutely dreading it.

My skin has also been so dry lately.

So i've been using this I've also just been more dehydrated because i've been drinking a lot more coffee.

You guys know normally I don't drink coffee at all, but i've been really needing it So

100

and I feel like I only need like one latte a day So it's just like two shots of espresso, which I believe is like 80 milligrams of caffeine

101

Which I don't believe is that much caffeine It is double what I would normally get from matcha But yeah,

102

my drink of choice is a mocha because I really love sweet coffee

103

But I don't have any like chocolate sauce yet

104

So I've just been having like regular coffee

105

and like trying to sweeten it up with vanilla syrup and like caramel syrup But when I make the coffee at home, it's definitely not for taste I just want to be stimulated

106

Last time for my routine is always a little bit of spray

107

And then i'm gonna do my sunscreen and now that I am all ready.

108

Let's get studying

109

Not the best latte art and it's also super bubbly but we tried So

110

After I finish this last case I want to move on to a general case questions for the other conditions

111

because these pk questions are specific to a drug

112

okay good morning guys there's officially less than a day before my exam

113

and i'm wearing literally the most basic outfit to exist is just a white t-shirt

114

and some sweats right now i just have one in-person class today

115

and then I have an assessment actually later in the afternoon

116

and I have not prepped for it

117

so I am feeling a little bit nervous about it

118

but we're just gonna cross our fingers and hope for the best

119

but in terms of how I'm feeling about my exam I

120

think I feel okay I feel like I've put in a

121

lot of work the last couple of days the only thing is I haven't reviewed my old content yet

122

so I'm definitely gonna make some time to review that tonight

123

and I think for

124

that content it makes sense to just read through like the bottom line slides

125

and summary notes because there's just not enough time to do flashcards

126

and I'd rather just focus on the big picture of things

127

because I doubt there's going to be like nitty-gritty knowledge questions on the exam and more so like application.

128

So anyways, I've just grabbed my Lani and let's head to class.

129

Thank you.

130

I don't know if any of you guys are also like this, but I am such a productive procrastinator.

131

I feel like I'm just so overstating for this exam now

132

that I've been tidying up my room for the last like half hour.

133

I just did my bedspread, put away some of the clothes that I need to do.

134

And so this is what the closet looks like.

135

I had a bunch of pants I need to put away.

136

Same with like my lab coat.

137

So now that that is all done, I have no other excuses but to study.

138

So we're going to get situated in the living room.

139

Tangerine to keep me company and then I think Daisy's gonna come study too.

140

I don't like Wommels I think it's so cute.

141

I have to hang it, but I just don't know where I'm gonna put it yet But in the meantime, it's really fun

142

Thank you.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
