Christ, I never thought a two year part-time MA would take up so much of my brain space. Granted, due it being part-time, the workload wasn't quite as intense as it could have been. However, only being in four hours a week makes you feel really detached from the whole ordeal yet knowing it's importance makes it always sit in that awkward place in your brain that every so often nags you with pangs of guilt. Anyway, after procrastinating over the piece of coursework that I've had the least amount of enthusiasm and drive over EVER in 22 years of education, it's nearly bastarding done. Word limit 10,000 words, current count 10,050. I feel like I've just got to the crest of a big feck off hill and now all that's left to do is reach the precipice of the downhill spinathon (the binding and hand in). It is no way a good dissertation, seeing as I lost all will to do it months ago due to a loss of respect for the industry and a prospective career change, but all I want to do is pass, I retired to the idea of a distinction long ago.
Like I said, I was never a model student throughout these last two years and most of the time did anything I could not to be doing coursework or reading. But, it's always been in my mind, and hopefully now I can start to enjoy some mental freedom.
I'm sure there are others here in the same or similar boat.
