I am feeling low today and my confidence feels knocked .I am doing an MA in History part time and I received my first assignments back. They were both passes (one was a 54% and the other was 59%). I have had a six year gap since completing my BA so did not feel massively confident , but I also put a lot of reading and work into it so feel disappointed .I feel deflated and worry about the fact I could end up coming out of this with just a pass. I was considering doing my Phd but if I can't even get a merit I have no chance of a scholarship or even a place.Any words of wisdom and advice would be greatly appreciated.
