My School Situation

Hey there folks, I’m just taking a little break from my studies and decided to make this post about my current school situation, just to keep you updated on what I’m going though :S. Well as some of you know I’m studying to become a surveyor and I’m on my last year now with few weeks to my final exam (or at least I hope so). You see, the school system here in Italy is quirt severe; that means that if you don’t study hard enough you won’t make it to the next class. More than 15% of all students here in Italy gets rejected and has to redo the whole school year :S. Last year in my class we were 26 students, this year we are only 14, so that was 12 of my old class mates that had to redo the year, that’s more than 46% folks!! Really mad stuff! I’m really sorry for them, because a lot of them were really good (many of them were even better than me :S), but according to some teachers they weren’t good enough
. Last year I was really standing on the edge; about to redo the year together with the other half of my school mates
, fortunately I made it though, but some teachers in the school council didn’t agree with that decision. So this year I’m standing on the edge again, but this time it’s on the edge of a knife blade
, because some teachers thought that they did a mistake by letting me pass last year, so this year they are really against me
. So I can only hope for the best! This year I really gave it full throttle on the studying, but it seems pointless when you have some teachers against you (no matter how much I do they just keep saying that it isn’t good enough), maybe some of you know that feeling
. Finishing this year could really be the best thing that could happen in my life, it really means a lot to me, but unfortunately I can’t change destiny; so I will just have to wait and see. Oh right I just forgot to tell; well to make it worse, there was approved a law this year in Italy that said that you got to have an acceptable mark (or above) in all your subjects to make it to the next class; so I really got lucky there :S (yeah right). Some of my teachers are saying that my Italian isn’t good enough to take my exam. That one there really makes me pissed, you know, with all the studies I’m doing (on a foreign language) they don’t let me through just because they don’t think my Italian is good enough! I’m studying about 4-12 hours a day :S, so it would really suck if they don’t let me though, it will be like another year in hell!
I can only hope for the best, there is nothing else to do!
p.s. writing this post made me fell a little better, you know, I had to let some steam out, and there is nothing better that telling the whole world how you fell
.
If you have some questions or consultations please write a comment, it will make me a lot happier to hear some people agree with me or give me some consultations in these sad weeks I’m going though at the moment.
See you.
Wow…that sucks (sorry) ass. Yeah…I’m younger than you, and you make me so nervous for the future! Ha, no. I don’t know, whenever I get stressed or nervous or something of the sort, I just remember that everything happens for a reason . Wow. That’s something everyone says, but I believe in that, or else I would go crazy with all the “what ifs” (what if I studied harder? What if the teacher wasn’t such a big…?!)
But that is one tough situation on your hands. Best of luck, of and keep posting! I see it lets your stress out.
Hey, since you say you have some trouble with English, just ask me to rephrase a sentence or whatever, I don’t mind.
Oh, by the way, I’m wondering, what is a surveyor? That sounds pretty cool.
Later.
You are right, everything happens for a reason; sometimes something bad happens, but it normally opens other possibilities that can be far better than what you had before
….
… anyway if I want I can always study a little more to become one
…. hope that helped a little…. If they will let me take the exam I could make a video (after the exam of cause) where I show some of my projects I have made for the exam and explain a little about what they are used for, if you want
Anyway answering the “what is a surveyor” question (or at least trying my best to do so xD).. A surveyor is a person that measures areas, knows about the ground, knows how to calculate all the formulas for building a house, can design a house from scratch, and all stuff like that; let’s say that a surveyor is a little like an architect only that the architect is a little more important than the surveyor
That would be pretty dang awesome! Hm, being a surveyor doesn’t sound less important than an architect….architects need surveyors, not the other way around. That sounds like a cool job, but also complicated. But then again, many jobs are complicated…..
hehe you are so right there, the thing that sucks about being a surveyor is that architects always makes the surveyors do the hard work and then they get most of the money :S, but that’s ok for me, I’m sure I won’t be a surveyor for my whole life (that would be so boring)
Yeah, I wouldn’t want to be stuck with one job, either! I’m still wondering what passion I have, but I would go for anything that meant traveling.
Well, I love astronomy, and nearby there’s this university that I fell in love with long ago…(probably because it’s such a eco-friendly enviroment) =) but it’s known for its science experiments
If I could, I would work for NASA. Such a dream, though…
Wow, it would really be something to go for, astronomy is so cool… and if you get work at NASA it would be a very big plus
Yeah…although I am very indecisive.
You know what I noticed? It’s much easier to tell people about things in written word, when in reality (at least I am) shy.
Yeah, know that feeling… You are right, it’s so much easer write to people than talking to them
…. I’m very very shy, I’m sure you have noticed it in the videos where I film myself :S…. Anyway I hope it will get better as time passes by, because this here is really my passion
…
Whenever I’m shy and or nervous, I just do whatever I’m hesitating on, because I figure I might as well get it over with.
Filming is your passion? And the technological stuff? That’s really sweet.
I take Film & Media and Animation classes, although I’m still trying to get the hang of it all.
Frankly, I haven’t really noticed.
Oh thanks, I thought that it was the first thing a person would notice when watching my videos…… I’m sure you will get the hang of the Animation classes, if you have the passion you won’t take long to learn it..
Oh, I’m good at remembering but only when I remember to be observant, because I’m pretty clueless on some stuff.
At first I wasn’t so interested in animation, I only took it because I’m in the performing arts program, and they required me to take about 6 hours of classes a week. Although I guess it says something because I took it. I’m also really into the visual arts, like photography, writing.
But I am really having a lot of fun in it. But like I said, sometimes I am just not observant!
It will come I’m sure
