The librarian at uni was helpful, so that's sorted. But I still struggled to find journal articles that would be useful. And I find now I really have to get to work on the assignment, which means my other study requirements are slipping behind. It feels like no matter how fast I pedal, I'm going nowhere fast. I'm stressed and scared of failing so soon.
And I'm really tired today, which is adding to my irritability. I had a nap after lunch, which helped a little.
I've got a busy morning, then I can study in the afternoon.

Re: rough time
Mm those journal articles seem to be alluding. Do you have enough to work with at least for now to get some more of your assignment done or a few draft sections? Does your course have a study fb page? Mine has one that ive just remembered where only students studying the course have access to it (the only way to join is by giving them your student ID number ) maybe yours has something similar and they could help with articles if you need.
Being tired just adds to things to, hopefully youll get better sleep tonight and can start again tomorrow being abit more refreshed. @Sans911

Re: rough time
No fb page as this is postgraduate studies, so essentially you're supposed to be smart enough to work it out! Yes, I've got enough to go on for now. My course is supposed to be part time, which means a few hours per week, but right now I'm having to study about 3-4hours a day just to keep on top of things. Besides the assignments, there are activities in each module to do (don't have to be handed in), discussion groups which do count towards grades, textbook chapters to read and mandatory journal articles to read as well. Then there's an exam late June.
I'm sleeping OK. I get about 7or 8 hours most nights. I wake around 4, but after feeding the cats and a coffee, I usually go back to sleep for an hour or so.
Some part of me wants to pull out before I fail, but then people would judge me. I knew the course wouldn't be easy, but not this hard either. Makes me wonder if I should have stuck to a tafe course.
Anyway, I'm moaning and whinging and rambling way too much.
The boys are on the bed with me atm. Mr A looks so peaceful, but he's laid out like a sausage dog. My vet was quite taken with him the other day. She said he was a very handsome, healthy cat. Jasper is lying to my right on a spare space of bed. He has his back to me, so I can't see his face. But he's sound asleep. I've been taking Jasper out into the courtyard the last few evenings, and now he's so keen to go out. I sit out there with the both of them, usually with a coffee. Jasper is now getting black paws, as I have grey sand in the garden.
