I feel I need to be reading more and often have slight panic attacks when it comes to writing the assignments themselves — am I doing enough, am I getting enough detail in, am I being critical enough? That sort of thing.

My book collection has increased — don’t know when I’ll get time to read it all!

I keep thinking I need to study a bit every single night which is stupid because I often have other things happening which makes me feel guilty if I haven’t studied. So for this next assignment I need to set days for studying I think, and less cramming in the 3 weekends up to the deadline! Getting the balance is the hardest part!!!

I’ve invested in a lot of Post-it notes and have started using Evernote to help compile the online research, which is proving useful.

Onward and upward!

Trust me, you are not the only one.

The MSC has been great for me so far, but a lot more work than I anticipated.

Try make notes while you study, even if it is just bullet points

Stick in there, we will get through it.
