I know what you mean- but all the information here has been really helpful
Like you, i am doing my MA at the moment, i got a 2:1 at undergrad, although i worked so hard to get a 1st
However, i am considering doing a Phd and will definately need funding for it, and the advise i've been given is that it'll pay for me to have a distinction
My MA is full time, but because i dont get a loan or any kind of financial assistance, i find myself doing 3 part-time jobs, one will luckly be ending when this term ends, and another is only part-time, alternating weeks.
Its so hard though, and i have written off a social life, besides taking time out to read a best -seller (i love my books), i realise tho its a bit of a gamble,as my director informed me today there are only 2 levels of grades awarded, distinction and a pass..God help me but i need that distinction..so a lot of advise given below has been post-it (it) and hang on my wall..
Thank you :-)
