Rage: 18/10/11 at 18.42

OK, I believe I am due for a weekly rage. Tom Gleeson gets one on GNW, so, why can't I? That's how I see it atleast.

So, what's something I want to rage about. SCHOOL. Yes, i know everyone rages about school but that is just because as school students we find very easy to do. Now, come one! i don't know about you but i feel almost demanded of my teachers to do well in my subjects. If i want to drop a subject automatically it is the end of my professional career. "Jack, you can't drop because you do well in so and so and so and so a subject." Well guess what I can.

If i decide this subject is not what i want to persue then so be it. Oh no, what am I going to do? I can't some fucking smart ass astrophysicist fuck because I want to drop to general math. Aw fuck, how am I going to live if i can't get a high enough ATAR to enter uni and study medicine. I've wasted my life clearly.
It's my life and I'll decide what i want to do with. If i want to be a hermit i will. If i want to ditch and disappear up to a beach somewhere and just get a job in some surf store. I. WILL.

My life is not about to end because of one subject. And its not just the teachers that fuck around with you about it either. Your friends can tell you the same thing. "Oh jack, you shouldn't drop math, you're smart, you can do it. You're not stupid." SINCE WHEN ARE PEOPLE STUPID IF THEY AREN'T DOING "ADVANCED" MATHS. 

And then, thanks to all the mixed advice and messages. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE. Come on! I mean atleast universities could title their courses with titles which are more understandable and appropriate to the topic. Who would even know to be a doctor you have to study "MEDICINE" unless you actually wanted to do the topid yourself. like me. And why do they even have to be such high ATAR's. It's unrealistic to think that its possible to reach an ATAR of like 99.95. That's the highest ATAR you can get. And to get that you have to get like band 6 in EVERYTHING! What if you have an off day and do badly in one exam? Therefore your hopes of becoming a doctor or a lawyer, or whatever it is you wish to study are automatically out of your grasp. You have to go do a different course for 3 or more years. Complete it, then go back and do another 3 or more years of study to do the course you originally wanted to. There's almost 10 years of your life up in flames.

And I want to do medicine. Good going jack. And by the way. NO MEDICINE COURSES HAVE MATHEMATICS (the advanced one) AS PREQUESITES. in some courses its not even suggested study. And I've done a year of it so I can already say I have experience with the course.

fuck.
