So, for the past few days I've been looking at places to study and I've pretty much narrowed it down to two places. Griffith University and Bond University. Both offer Film and TV studies, but one starts in July, the other September. Also, Griffith would only be a Bachelor of Arts while Bond would be a Bachelor of Film and TV. Griffith is 3 years with an extra 4th year with honours while Bond is two years. Griffith is about 50,000 AUS while Bond is 80,000 AUS. Griffith is more free for me to do work, while Bond is full time. Griffith doesent have so much in scholarships, but Bond has a good selection of scholarships. Griffith is next to Brisbane, Bond next to Surfers Paradise. AAARGH! Both have everything I want... and I need to choose one.
Do I REALLY need to explain it?
Griffith seems to have a really wide range of studies, meaning a really good community of students. So chances are I'll probably find like minded people. Bond... well, shit its named after a secret agent! Hell, I'd give my right nut to have that name on my CV! Though, come to think of it, I guess all them inevitable "Did you learn to be a spy?" questions would get old really fast. But its a really GOOD university! Dorms, stuff to do, SURFERS PARADISE! I mean, hell. If a town is called Surfers Paradise, ya just gotta go there!

However, I've been eyeing Griffith University for a longer time. Actually, originally I was about to apply for a Bachelor in Film and TV studies. "So why didn't you?" I hear you ask. Well, because the course starts in three weeks. Not July. Hehehehehe... Thanks to my very astute and observant sister who wisely slapped me on the back of the head and said "Stupid!", I saved myself the embarrassment of screwing up royally. I even bloody edited a 10 min portfolio for the course. Pfft, time well spent. The BA just needs my school certificates.
Like I said, Royally fail...
Think... I would have applied for a spot that would start in three weeks. Shit. I can't even clean my kitchen in that time let alone get ready for an adventure to the other side of the friggin planet! Bachelor of Arts has to suffice. For now. It still has film and TV and writing and literature too. So why not. I can apply for a transfer when I'm there.
Then there is always plan b... I'll tell you guys about that later. ;)
See you in the slipstream.
