"I'll study when it starts being important"

blog-0939073001405639238.jpgIt's been a while! Hi! The main source of inspiration for my posts is school and I'm on holidays, so... yeah...

But I've been thinking, and I wanted to write something about this. Currently I'm in middle school (grade 5 to 9 in Portugal), next year I'm going to grade 9, the last year, and it's a transition year, since in grade 10 you're in high school. Since it's the last year of middle school it's also the last year that won't matter for university access.

And one thing that I hear a lot of people say, especially those who want to get in courses with high averages, like medicine for example, with the highest average of the course at 18.35 (0/20). All but one of the people that say that they want to get into medicine have "poor" grades, from 0 to 100, they get 70's and 80's rarely. When you ask them "How do you plan to get into medicine with those grades?", they say: "These don't matter, when I get to year 10 I'll study and get good ones.". Is it really going to work, I wonder. Even though these grades don't really matter, they are a good way of getting some basic knowledge of some important areas (like Physics and Chemistry for medicine). If you don't get a single thing about Physics and Chemistry now, you'll have an hard time understanding it in hs, and on top of that getting 18's and 20's. IDK, I might be wrong, they might be geniuses that are just hiding, but what excuse do you have to not give a shit about school now? It'll make life easier for you later on.

I don't plan on getting into medicine, ain't nobody got time fo all that stress when getting results and I don't really like it. Currently I'm thinking about CS or some other area connected to tech, which are much more accessible, IDK, I still have time. And maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'll be a total fail and they'll get amazing grades, only time will tell.

I didn't really study a lot in 9th grade and I still got pretty good grades. But now that I'm going into 10th grade things are gonna start getting harder and I probably will have to study :/

Well, I'm at computer engineering. Local Uni test asked for 5 (0/10) It's 60 % "high school" (6 of 10 points) and 40 % tests (4 points of 10) then you can get 4 extra points (14/10 max lewl), but that's for complicated shiet liek medicine and that craps... aanyway when I saw that I only required 5 points I was like "huehuehue" :D

 

The Uni I'd like to attend asks for 12.3 for CS, which isn't that high.

Well, in middle chool you dont need to study that much.

In 10th year you need to study  little more, just a little, not to much...

In 11th year I think you need to study even harder than in the previous

In the last year it is more soft, like the 10th I think...

Though I passed to the 11th this year, and I think it was easy, except for Biology & Geology and Physics, not Chemistry cause thats easy... At least for me :D

I don't study that much, but I study, unlike most of my friends. I'm not afraid of 10th, 11th is the one that worries me the most and I also heard that Math(s) in 12th was pretty hard.

Not that harder, but yes you will need to study ;)

 Whats CS? I want to know! I want to go to some sort of course that is related to computers, and Im thinking of Multimedia Comunication, and there's a semester all about Graphic Computation, but thats only availble at private Uni's... fak

Computer Science, and Portuguese public Unis are better than private ones anyway.

Well, programming isnt that great since my brother had it this year and he is changing course...

But, if I finish it can I work at NCIX or be apart of LMG? :3 Such want...

It's more of a corporate job. They normaly hire video editors and such so something in that area would be better, but the chances of you getting a job are very small.
