Looking for any tips from academics.
I’m finishing off the last few credits of my masters. I’ve done well so far in terms of higher education (good 2:1 at undergrad, masters credits at distinction in my PGCE and am currently sitting on a distinction for my hobby social sciences masters based on what I have done so far). Only issue now is that I have a 4 month old baby and I am incredibly sleep deprived.
husband is amazing and so is my mum, have lots of support in terms of looking after baby- but I am struggling so hard with my readings. Everything seems so abstract and they are sooooo long that my concentration wanes. I have tried breaking them up, but often I have forgotten what I have read before
currently sat in a cafe with a beautifully sleeping baby and had better sleep last night- but I’m losing the will to live. I have been doing my readings on a kindle, then making paper notes but I’m not sure if the concepts are going in.
kind of venting. Kind of looking for help. I already interrupted as I was ill over my pregnancy so I really need to finish this year despite baby.
