It's that time of year when students don their rucksacks and shine their shoes for another year of stimulating academia and yes, that includes me. Except my course is distance learning so I don't need a rucksack. Or shoes.
First, I feel I must explain. I am doing a part time, distance learning MSc in Oncology (cancer). I currently do my full time working week squeezed down into four days in order to give me one day a week at home to study. With this being part time and all it will take a minimum of 3 years and they allow me a maximum of 5 to complete the course. I have done one year so far and was hoping to finish up in a total of three by doing as many modules as humanly possible.
It's day one of year two and I am thinking that this may take me longer than three years given that I need to understand, by Jan 2010, the fundamental concepts and principles of cancer pathology, cancer pharmacology and diagnostic imaging in oncology and pass three exams to that effect.
Ever feel like you have bitten of more than you can chew?
