[12:27] <cub> g'day
[12:28] <smartboyhw> Hello cub
[12:28] <smartboyhw> Got to write sth in the bp soon
[12:28] <cub> hi smartboyhw, running for council I see? :)
[12:28] <smartboyhw> Sorry for not being available the past 3 weeks, too many tests
[12:29] <cub> I haven't been around for some weeks either
[12:29] <smartboyhw> cub: I don't have a high chance, I'm just trying. It isn't wrong to try:P
[12:29] <cub> quite busy
[12:29] <cub> smartboyhw, of course. If you'll make it though, will you have time?
[12:35] <smartboyhw> cub: Yes. I shall have time.
[12:36] <zequence> smartboyhw: If nothing else, people should become more and more aware of you being quite reliable and hard working, which is quite often the most important charasteristics to have
[12:38] <smartboyhw> zequence: :)
[12:38] <smartboyhw> zequence, cub: Which subjects do you guys study at high school?
[12:38] <smartboyhw> (Just asking)
[12:45] <cub> hmm I'm not sure what age high school was?
[12:45] <cub> When I went to school we couldn't choose much until we were 16
[12:46] <cub> before that it was just if we wanted to add another language besides English, and we could only choose French or German. :D
[12:47] <knome> smartboyhw, few languages, math, physics, chemistry, psychology, philosophy
[12:47] <cub> psychology knome? That would have been fun. We were only forced into Religion.
[12:48] <knome> ah, religion too of course.
[12:48] <knome> cub, yeah, in upper secondary
[12:48] <knome> i think we had something like 4 courses of that (if you wanted)
[12:48] <knome> i think one might've been obligatory
[12:48] <cub> cool
[12:49] <cub> I studied philosophy at university later on instead.
[12:49] <cub> since we didn't get that in any school beforehand
[12:49] <knome> mhm
[12:49] <knome> there weren't too many philosophy courses... maybe 3 or 4, and again, one obligatory
[12:57] <smartboyhw> Nobody study biology:(
[12:58] <knome> ah, we did that as well
[12:58] <knome> one obligatory..
[12:58] <knome> you might sense the pattern here...
[12:59] <smartboyhw> What I study are: Chinese, English, Maths (Core + M2, i.e. Algebra and calculus), Physics, Chemistry, Biology
[12:59] <smartboyhw> Basically full science
[13:06] <zequence> I majored in Music during High School. And, didn't much worry about other subjects, not even music mostly. I learned most of what I know from the city library
[13:06] <zequence> It's faster
[13:07] <zequence> Well, in some ways. Sometimes it's a lot faster if someone gives you a couple of hints, so you don't need to read through a whole shelf to find out a single idea
[13:11] <smartboyhw> zequence: I learn via school library and bookstores instead
[13:15] <zequence> I should perhaps mention it is always a good idea to get a degree..
[13:16] <zequence> Not the same thing as studying to learn something
[13:30] <cub> exactly, I read a lot in my days but have no degree to flash on my CV
[13:31] <cub> It didn't matter that much before but nowadays I feel that every job is asking for some kind of a degree
[13:31] <cub> so if you're going to learn, get a degree at the same time...or start your own business. :P
[13:43] <cub> yay, I get to go to the Internetdagarna in Stockholm. Jono is keynote speaker.
[13:44] <zequence> cub: Work related?
[13:49] <cub> the rest of the day, yes. Incident management, so work is paying for the day
[14:42] <cub> zequence, how's work going, weren't you going to a new interview?
[15:14] <zequence> cub: No contracts signed yet, I'm afraid.
