annabtgCRAPPY TELEDOME.
Since we switched to them for Internet access, our DSL constantly has problems. Now we can't get the Ministry of Education site to work, whereas my cousins (who are on OTENET) can AND MY PARENTS ARE BLAMING ME FOR THAT WTF. YOU GET IT TO WORK IF YOU CAN.
Anyways. So our cousins gave us my brother Christos's results. He made it to the Department of Informatics in University of Central Greece (in Lamia), from where he can tranfer to the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications in University of Athens. (That's the university where I am, too. ^_^)
I'm kinda concerned because he wanted Polytechnical school, and I know for sure he'd enjoy a field in engineering whereas he's never been a computer nerdlike me. But he's happy with his results - says he might not know much about it but it seems like an interesting field of study. I really hope he'll end up enjoying his studies.
Although I shouldn't worry about it. He's such a good-natured boy and so easy to please, I'm certain he'll end up enjoying his studies more than I enjoy mine :p
So that's all for now. I wish I could go back to sleep (my father woke me up two hours ago so I could look up Christos's results and I'm running on 5 hours of sleep) but between the phone calls from pretty much everyone and my grandma having come over, it's not so easy.
Off to keep trying to access the Ministry site, ttyl.

Date: 2007-08-28 09:54 am (UTC)Take Christos - he followed the Natural Sciences studies track, like me, so he never studied Computer Programming or Technology of Communications in high school (as he would have if he had followed the Technological Sciences track). Never even took Informatics as optional course in his three years in high school. But there he'll be studying Informatics and Telecommunications, thanks to the grade he scored at subjects such as Advanced Maths, Advanced Physics and Biology. *shrug*
The way education works over there certainly has its perks, and I'd definitely like it if it were applied here too, but since it's not, I try to make the best out of what's available - which in most cases means, make the choice that's closer to my tastes, out of the ones available.
See ya,
Anna.
