Hi, I embarked on an online masters degree a few years ago when DS1 was small. 2 more DC later and working full time I have managed to complete the PgDip. However, i just know at this point I dont have it in me to complete the research project required for the full MSc, if I did I have to start it Sept 2019 and I just cant see it happening.
Anyway, because I set out full of enthusiasm to get my masters i kind of feel like a failure and don't really fancy going to graduation in the summer to pick up the PgDip. So i dont dripfeed its a short flight away to a lovely Scottish city, but means sorting babysitters overnight etc. DH thinks we should go, celebrate the work I (we!) put in and make a weekend of it. It can be my Christmas present he says! Am i being a scrooge for saying thanks but no thanks, that in fact im kind of embarrassed I didnt/couldnt complete the course?
