Subjects; Senior, in 2012

In Australia, it's the time in where Year 10 students start picking their subjects for their "Senior" years; a.k.a. Year 11 and 12.

They say it's the most important years in our schooling, and I have no objections.
All the process and focus they're putting on it make it all very serious and important, too.

My brain is going to burst.

I'm short on subject lines.
AGAIN.

This happens EVERY-FREAKIN-YEARRR!!! EVERY FREAKIN SEMESTER!!!!

Anyone who reads this who isn't a Queenslander; my apologies, but I will cease unnecessary explanations because I simply CAN-NOT-BE-BOTHERED.

There are 4 lines for electives. The subjects I wanted to do are:
Mathematics C
Economics
Business Communications and Technologies
Accounting
IPT (Information Processing and Technology) [IT - programming, algorithms,computer systems etc.]
ITS (Information Technology Systems) [IT - graphic/web design, network systems, administration, etc.]

As [hopefully] you can already tell, I need to kick two subjects out.
I've already decided to not do Accounting since my mum says that I should do Business rather than Accounting because I would benefit more (more pay) from being a business executive than an accountant... =.=
But there's still one more that I need to kick out.

On subject selections' day, I kicked Business out.
But afterwards I talked with my mum and she says it'd be better to do Business instead of Economics because it could cover Economics a little as well. I'd agreed.
But.
If I rank the subjects in order of "likeability", it would go like this:
Mathematics C
Economics
IPT 
Business Communications and Technologies
ITS

But if I rank the subjects in an order that considers opportunities, career paths, future jobs, etc. it would go like this:
Business Communications and Technologies
Economics
ITS
IPT
Mathematics C
(not so sure about this list, by the way...)

I just realised 2 seconds ago: I could actually weigh out the total "should do" points of the 5 subjects using Matrices!! XD
Okay, here I go. XDD
I give each of the positions on each list a point each of 1 to 5. (i.e. 1st place = 5 points, last place = 1 point)
Then I add each of the points from each Ranking together;
Mathematics C = 5 + 1
Economics = 4 + 4
IPT = 3 + 1
Business Communications and Technologies = 2 + 5
ITS = 1 + 2

So then;
Economics: 8
Business Comm. and Tech.: 7
Mathematics C: 6
IPT: 5
ITS: 4

ITS will be kicked out... possibly... maybe...
I'm really not sure about whether the rankings on the two lists are correct or not anymore. -__-

As I was killing myself over this, my friend came up and said "Do what you want to do, not what you need to do!" ...which resulted in me actually letting go of a shrill scream and throwing the book that was in my hand onto the ground.
I do not consider doing subjects that I do not want to do. Therefore all the subjects I'm considering are all subjects that I want to do. Also, the subject that I want to do the most happens to be the one that I don't need to do the most, if I intend to go down the business path...
But of course, I wouldn't consider doing business if I didn't want to do it! But Maths means so much, it's so awesome, and I don't want to drop it at all!
Economics is so awesome, and Business is alright; don't know...
I don't know whether I like IPT or ITS or not either, even though I've been doing it every year since Year 9...


Grr. All this make me want to use the Anger Room. Real badly. (Official website)
It's been on my bucket list for a long time. It's so ingenious in so many ways! One day I've GOT TO use their services!!!!   DEFINITELY!!!!!!!!
Oh my, thinking about this is making me excited.............................. Let's go to America now.
