I nearly didn't finish my Masters. I got over my own disagreeableness with the course structure and the available facilities, and acceptable scopes of work, and many other things.

That's a lot of ands in a sentence, but the one thing I did realise along the way that academia was exactly like the ivory tower it is referred to, particularly in the field I was studying - Visual Art.

So much was not approachable for the "un-ins" as I'd like to call them, and that upsets me. I try to make my Art, and the writing about it as accessible as I possibly can.
