Well, i have officially been informed in writing via mail ( so it must be true) that I have met all the requirements of my Masters for Library. As you can imagine I am very happy about this since I am now free of academia forever!
While i have learnt a lot ( mainly from placement and study visits, not at all from the educational research study) I am happy to now be recognised as capable of doing the job I have been doing for the last 5 years. The Departmental Bureaucracy even agrees; I now have the magic codes to say I can do my job. Hopefully I will get it permanently soon.
Unfortunately I won’t be able to go to Graduation as it is roughly 700km (for which I would have to drive 3 hours then fly 1) and midweek. And since I can’t really afford to take days off to go to a graduation I shall have to avoid it. You would think a course supposedly made for distance education of professionals would make it easy for them to attend the culmination of so many years of work… Irony.
