well, here goes

For anyone who recognises themselves and considers me to be being unfair, I apologise in advance.
Certain things have come to my attention recently, certain comments and attitudes and current states of affairs that I just can't ignore anymore, so that's just it. Things have to be said.

I should just explain that as well as being a diary of what is involved in applying for this PhD, I'll also just be ranting.
At this moment, I haven't even completed my application yet. I've written some 5000 words for the proposal of my project, an investigation into the role of art in medical imaging, with the hope of curating a film festival purely concentrating on portrayal of the anatomy through film. But, and it's a big BUTT, I'm waiting for references from previous faculty that had promised they would be referees. We are at the stage, where they have asked me to write my own references, which they will then 'doctor' and send on. Well, it's been a couple of months, so I'm pissed off. So bare with me.

Here is a little something about where I've been for the last couple of years:
