I am really going to bed now. Because I have an interview with RMIT in the morning. *proud*

Note: awesome BBC radio comedy here. Complete with Narnia jokes. And the Battle of the Somme made with balloons.

*blinks, looks at clock* Wasn't I going to go to bed early tonight? Oops.

Good luck anyway. =P So what happened? And...what's a tertiary institution? o_O I'm too lazy to look it up, humor me. XD (the fisheh brain thinks it should involve dirt somehow...I think this is wrong...maybe?)

(I don't know what the initials for things stand for in my own country...please don't expect me to know yours? ^^; I is goldfisheh...fisheh who tries to spell it foldgisheh, apparently, as it took me three times to get it RIGHT. *facepalm*)

Tertiary institution is what one has after primary and secondary education. Broadly speaking (because it varies between states), one has preschool/kindergarten at about age 4, then goes on to primary education for prep (in some states) through to about grade six. Then for grades seven through twelve, one is in secondary education (high school/secondary college--rarely called secondary school, though prep/grade one to sixish is always called primary school). After secondary education, some pupils choose to go on to tertiary education, namely either university or TAFE (like a technical college, which might teach anything from carpentry or metalwork through to more traditional subjects like computer science--not as highly regarded as universities). TAFE stands for Technical and Further Education. TAFEs also offer year eleven and twelve classes, for those who want to pass years they dropped out of or failed, or because their secondary school doesn't offer that subject (I took Year 12 Theatre Studies at TAFE).

MIT is somethingorotherpossiblyMassachusetts Institute of Technology, right? RMIT is Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. It's reasonably well-regarded in the state, and offers what is possibly the only journalism course (it's certainly one of the most respected). The only downside is that it straddles the line between university and TAFE, which private school kids (and pretend-private schools like my old school and its brother school Melbourne High) are very snobbish about. Still, it probably has the third largest enrollment from Mac.Rob (my old school), after Melbourne and Monash Universities (As in percentage of each year level that go there, not what proportion of the student population is made up of ex-Mac.Robians, if you catch my drift).

And there you have it. :D

Thank you. ^^ The radish has learned much about the number THREE today.

...I knew tertiary sounded familiar, and yet it still makes me think of dirt. XD I think I'm going to have to look up this connection.
