Olddog40, Are you in your first semester? I heard the work load during the first semester is lighter? I have a 16 month old at home and I'm debating whether I can do this or not. If I'm accepted, I will be starting in August/September. I am a SAHM and my son is very needy and clingy to me! lol! I can see myself spending 4-5 hours a day away from my son and doing school work, but not any more than that. Do you think that's doable? I usually eat, take a shower, and all of that while watching my son; so I don't really need any extra time to take care of my own stuff. Plus, I have my mom helping me with dinner, and keeping up with the house! I know weekends are full clinical days so I'm already expecting that, but that's ok because he will be spending good quality time with his dad. I read on an older post that between class work and studying, you need to allocate 40+ hours a week, not including weekends. Would you agree with that statement? Thanks and congrats for getting in :)
