The MA is done.

I ran out of time and didn't get the final submission professionally bound. Glancing back briefly over the document, I have spotted various errors. As my thoughts reorganise in my mind I realise that some of my arguments were a little unsubstantiated and possibly revealed a certain naivety.

But it is out of my hands now and I can move on.

It feels strange. I had been running on adrenaline and now, as it subsides, tiredness is creeping in.

For me it feels like a big shift. A momentous change!

But everyone else is ‘normal’ and unaware of the strange mix of exhilaration, relief, sense of victory and apprehension for the future that I’m experiencing.

What will I do now?

The MA has been in virtually every waking thought.

Will I still have the discipline to write now that the framework of the MA has been taken away?
