Advocating for yourself, not begging. You deserve a prof who is a knowledgeable and competent mentor.

You might have already done and tried that, but in case.
Do you have the contact information of the professor that was originally supposed to be your master thesis director ?
They canāt take up the role anymore but they might be ready to help you, by giving you the names of viable colleagues of theirs or by actively recommending you to them, or to the university administration.
If you know any previous master students, ask them the same. Even better if they were the kind of post master, now doctoral student that were one of your assistant professors or even better in charge of one of your practical study group (they would know you and your competences, and by experience they are the most eager to help out).
I hope everything goes well for you.

Do you have to study a full load? Or can you just take one course and maybe start working on the paper while biding your time? If you take only one course would that save you some ā¬ā¬?
Either way I hope you just find a Professor to work with, but if you canāt I hope itās not an expensive semester you really shouldnāt have to take.

@LandirtHome Thank you, yes, I have already done something similar. My old professor said something like āI will leave, itās not my problem who will look after your thesis anymoreā 
maybe itās better that heās not doing it anymore 
@Yacob I still have to do two seminars next semester, I wanted to do them together with the master thesis. If I will not find a professor I will only do the two seminars next semester and than in winter only the thesis feels kinda like time wasting. But I have a 20 hour job, at least that gives me the feeling of doing something and not wasting my time. And Iām not on a private university, so itās not expensive to study, only about 600ā¬ per year- itās annoying, but I could handle that.
Itās just annoying because Iām already so old and Iām already studying for so long because all these years I could only study half the time as most students because I had to work next to university. And there were other difficulties, like I changed the topic of my studies some years ago, some personal problems which caused that it took me longer. And now I was finally seeing an end and now thisā¦ itās just very frustrating

I forgot that attending a university isnāt a financially crippling endeavour in other parts of the world.
Oh yes! All of us at HMF are always talking behind your back about what an ancient babushka you are 
. You know how I know Iām getting old? I know because it makes me laugh when people your age say they are getting old.

Haha well, as a woman of 34, single, no children and no finished education (I have a bachelor degree, but to become a teacher I need a master degree too) I often feel kinda old not that I want to change something about the first two things 
but finishing education would at least let me feel a bit more āadultā. At least thatās what Iām hoping

School has been at its worst with exams and lengthy tasks and combining that with classes I take, Iāve had 9 exams in 3 days. 8 hours minimum studying a day. Not sure how Iām yet alive. Did a pretty good job with it though, all were above 80 with a few +90s as well.
