    Sorry for being MIA - Studies taking so much time

    So I feel so guilty for the very little time I have been spending on the forum. So I thought I would just update everyone on the reason.

    So I am a photographer. I have my own studio and business'.
    So I have decided to do a postGrad in Disaster management this year. I previously did my Law degree but its already been 15 years.
    SO yeah the whole studying thing has really been way harder than I though and assignment are taking me so many hours to complete.
    I was told it would take about 20 hours a week to be able to do well but it take me about double that and then I still have to run my business.
    So yes I am low on sleep and low on time for anything basically.

    So my first 2 assignments have been handed in. I have one due every single week till end April. Then their is a small month break and then the next semester start.

    I will let you guys know here when I start getting marks back. I have basically decided if I don't do well with this much effort I will need to deregister.
    So yeah thats been my Feb

    Hang in there, and good luck! I'm sure you'll do great. One step at a time - only two months until your break, you can do it!

    I've thought about trying to go back to school for an MBA but just don't have the fortitude for trying to balance a full time job + classes. I really admire people who are able to do it, you guys are made of tougher stuff than I am.

    Busy busy, I can relate! I’m working on my masters while working two jobs remote. Add on my seven week old and it gets kinda crazy. You have to really look at classes like another job. Set aside time to really focus so you can do as well as you can. Hang in there though! Imagine how good it will feel when you finish up with classes. You’ll kick yourself for unenrolling! I had to drop down by 1 class for my own sanity, maybe your school will let you do the same? Take a little bit of that pressure off
    What's my definition of success?
    Creating something no one else can
    Being brave enough to dream big
    Grindin' when you're told to just quit
    Giving more when you got nothin' left
