    Melb - where my coolness isn't seen as wierdness
    4,361

    I'm only doing one unit this semester and one next semester. With working 4 days a week 8-5pm, a family and uni to boot, I had to realistic about my course load. I also want to do well, so don't want to overburden myself and end up not putting enough effort into a spread of units because I don't have enough time for them all.

    But yeah I would love to be able to do this full-time, and get it done so that I can move into work in that field, but right now, while it's my goal, it's a very very long term one. But I work coz I have to, so until I win lotto, I've got to take it a unit at a time, too.

    I'm doing 2 units off campus this semester and I'm quietly wondering what on earth posessed me to do post grad studies as I read my Unit outlines.
    After not studying for 7 years it's going to take me a while to get back into the swing of it!

    Well I have pretty much all of my books now! I went to get one from the local uni bookshop on friday and I had Claire in the pram with me and they let me jump the huge queue. The line to get into the shop was about 100 metres long, then the line inside the shop to pay was just as long. They let me go to the front of both lines! Much better than standing in the line with a screaming baby.

    I'm madly reading my texts like a huge nerd. DH tells me I am a nerd.

    Shazz, well done!! Good luck on the next two. I'm sure you'll ace them just like the first two. My first assignment isnt due till May, but I have started doing it. Its a group assignment.
