Gloria!
Hey I am a beginner PhR and live in Australia too! I recently posted a message entitled 'PhR in Australia' asking if there were any others out there! I would be interested in hearing your story on how you came to be a photoreader.
I am a med student studying at Flinders in Adelaide. I have been very frustrated with my medical studies so far because there is so much to learn, so much I want to learn and yet so little time. I also have an interest in medical education so was doing some research into 'the best learning strategies for medical students' when I came across the LSC website and heard about photoreading. And 'cos I was at Desperation point, I went ahead and ordered the home study course even though it cost me an arm and a leg in AU$. I am still working through it - so I don't have any wild and wonderful stories about spontaneous activation - yet!
Hope to hear back from you soon!
p.s. What exactly is the '5-day plan'? I haven't come across that yet.
