Mini study update!

All my big internal assessment is done for the semester. I’ve got one worksheet to hand in for this week’s lab, which I will submit this morning once I’ve read over my answers. I did it at midnight so I’m not sure it will make as much sense as it could!  The terms test is on the 20th, so only about a week away. It’s crap timing (for the test) but the hospital called and rescheduled Mr 4′s surgery for the 15th, and we will be in hospital for a couple of days - longer if it comes apart as has happened to him twice in the past. I’m nervous about how I’m going to get lecture content in over the week he is in hospital and recovering, and how I’m supposed to magically study somehow when we have to be up giving pain killers every 4 hours at night (and historically Mr 4 doesn’t cope with surgeries well and there’s a lot of screaming and needing his mum). So I’ve made an appointment with the disabilities office who said at the beginning of the year that if I need help I should let them know. Hurt the ego to email them, but they were friendly and made the appointment for today to go through what we can do.  I know it might be an over reaction to want help getting notes etc for a week for ONE paper, but I’ve been on top of it this whole time and I’ve been through 8 ops with my kids, and I know that I can’t sustain the mental workload of uni on top of the 24/7 care Mr will need to recover. I don’t want to fall behind or lose my good grade average because I missed a week right in front of the finish line. 

We have just started the developmental psychobiology section of the paper and I’m already loving it! It’s a lot of the content that made me want to take psychology in the first place. Currently, we are doing gene/environment factors in development and lots of discussion of nature/nurture. Just super interesting stuff!
