IMHO...this is the worst one so far. Disgusting but so sad:o

My worst story...guy with sepsis in critical care ?cause ...dead gerbil in rectum My sister is in ER...prostitute comes in one night after shift in massage parlour and requests that someone remove the thing that she uses for 'cleanliness' because she can't manage to pull it out herself...............yuk. Pity the poor doc that had to do it....eek :eek:

I don't know about the others...but I couldn't retain a thing in the 3rd trimester and couldn't have managed to study much. Ditto...being exhausted for six months afterwards. ?Possibly too ambitious to plan a rigorous course for this time

I say go for it...especially if you have a good support system in place ie husband. Streamline the household chores and simplify your life... it will help. I am in my final six months of grad school [MBA], plus work and have two kids and am now a single mother. I did the first 18 months as a fulltime student...had saved for it as the coursework was very demanding and there was no way I could get my head around accounting and finance etc without devoting myself fully to study. Study and the kids were the most important aspects of my life then. Thankfully, the final six months is a research project and things have relaxed somewhat. I don't have to physically be at grad school anymore so can do this from anywhere. And I have since moved away. Now have a job during school hours and study at night after the kids have gone to bed. The pluses are that my time management skills are better than I ever imagined they could be. And I have cut out a lot of extraneous clutter from my life. But...I still feel bad about this...there were lots of times when the kids couldn't go somewhere because I had to study over weekends and holidays. I also got very tired when I was up late at night reading stacks of case studies that lecturers would hand out at 4pm and expect to be all read and understood by 8am the following morning. Exams meant that they watched lots of videos. They also ate too much pizza during those times. However, with the hard work out of the way...must say that I feel really satisfied and pleased with what I have done. The kids have great study habits and I feel they have picked that up from me. They also have a income earner that has more choice re employment options. There is no way I could survive and support myself and kids on a basic nurses salary in NZ...even though I haven't finished I already have a new job with better money. Just remember...it seems insurmountable right now...but break it up into manageable pieces and concentrate on one bit at a time. Good luck, Zig.
