I forgot to add that I was so committed to my course that we bought a unit within a short walk to uni. We lived there until i graduated. Time was so precious (I worked a part time job as well) that logistically the only way i could do it was to cut out commuting time between home and uni down to about 5 minutes.

Also, regarding gruelling schedules: when you first have a baby you can be feeding sometimes every two hours... during the night as well. Try waking yourself up every 2 hours for the next week or so and see how that goes... you find yourself in a veeeery different place... to say the least

But hey... not all bad news... what a carrot to lure!: 'finish my course and then i get to have a baby!!!"
