Lee- you're not sneaking in! This thread is for you too

Tegam- I would take the semester off. I took a couple of semesters off through my degree and it was SO worth it! Realistically you're probably only to get the first essay done before baby comes, unless they are super kind and give you all the course work up front and you work like a mad thing and get both essays done... which I don't think is a great idea either right before baby comes. And what will you do about the exam? They're super hard to get through if you have a newborn who is still feeding frequently. Does your uni offer summer school? I wish I'd cottoned on to summer school earlier as I finished up a couple of subjects in the end by doing them in the summer school semester and it felt so good not be wasting that time and making up for the other semesters I needed to take off and focus on the little ones.
