annwfynI just got my MA results.
I got a Pass.
As Camberwell only gives two marks - Pass and Distinction - I don't feel as bad as I could have done. I am having some level of academic angst, but then, I didn't really need a distinction. Not for what I'm doing next. I just need to damn certificate for my job, and then for accreditation. Still, it would have been nice to feel like the special shiny clever person for once, instead of a bit of an also-ran. However, I shall remind myself that I've not been as committed to this MA as I could have been - I've run larp games, I've been volunteering at a museum 2-3 days per week, and I've been bouncing around the countryside role playing. It's why, as a rule, I've tended not to get Firsts, or Distinctions, or the like.
Still, I do feel a bit 'meh'. But hopefully that will pass and soon I'll just remember that I've got the MA, and now I can move on to the new job. I just hope that all does come together.

Instead of looking at it as not getting a distinction, look at it a different way. You've managed to acquire a SECOND very heavy duty qualification, AND come out sane, AND have a social life, AND (to my knowledge) come out sane, with happy memories. Now *that* is a distinction! :)
