What counts towards the average grade?

Do the greyed out subjects in the images not count towards my general average if I'm applying for the bachelor of arts?
And most importantly, will UBC give me a certain answer if I email 'em?
Maybe some subjects there don't make much sense because translations aren't always literal, but the important part is that they're all related to mechatronics and specific skills (expect PE).

Completely hopeless but want suggestions and chances

I literally only started studying after classes in 12th grade, and I didn't know they would change my future because I hadn't chosen UBC back in 11th grade. I only knew I wanted to live and study in Canada, but put no effort in even trying to get better or searching universities.

My 11th and 12th (current) year are in the image, and I'd like to know if it's likely that UBC will completely ignore my grades in the applied science subjects relative to my course (My Highschool has an integrated mechatronics course from which we now share 9 subjects with the grad students).

Apparently they will, but I didn't know until now and hadn't focus on the specific important subjects!

I plan on following a pure maths career, but I completely despise any applied mathematics and will avoid them at any cost if I happen to be admitted (Of course still attending obligatory ones). That said, I plan on starting from the Bachelor of Arts as I have a lot of experience in Adobe programs, design, 3D modeling, drawing and digital painting, and arts was my second option anyways. I'm accepting suggestions on if there's a better path for a pure maths PhD goal.

The point is that my grades completely wreck me I think, and it's making me anxious now that the applications will open, so here's a bit of my curriculum for you to help me cope:

Published Article on applications of Calculus 1, 2 and 3 in mechatronics engineering (The results of the research aren't utile, but the important part was me learning calculus and systems of control in high school);

More than 15 medals at this point in olympiads, but only 2 are international;

Class rep (I think this matters);

Math professor chose for a "talented students" program in which we went to one of the most prestiged universties in South America for them to convince me and other colleagues to try and apply (all certificates w me);

Math tutoring across these 2 last years of high school.

These are the most important, but I'll say a lot more in the actual profile. I'm just very concerned because I focused my entire 12th grade on grades and projects and didn't study for college entrance examinations, which are the most common form of entering an university in Brazil and what would give me more options.

Also, does it matters that i have SO MANY subjects? Cus it's tiring as hell and I don't wanna do it for nothing

Literature recommendation

I only started to get in touch with radical feminism (or any feminism at all) in the last week, and it seems like it's a new world of stuff that I needed to hear now, specially when there are so little people around me that agree on it. Tho, I could only find so much as one book that seemed interesting, and it is: Refusing to be a man: essays on sex and justice by John Stoltenberg.

I don't know how weird that can sound, but I generally will like feminine identity authors. There's no profound logical reason, i just rarely can see myself in any men - fiction or not -, John is a huge exception. It means that titles aren't out of the table just because they're written by other gender identities, it's just a preference.

I would like some suggestion mainly on anything that involves gender and sexuality, because it's something that has been changing a lot on me lately. If the labels even change anything in your answer: I'm asexual, biromantic and agender.

Help me ask a friend for a favor (I know nothing about crochet)

I want an ace ring with a flag, and i dont known which one in the image is more doable for her. She's not a professional, it's a hobby.

Or maybe there there are better ways to do it, it's probably very hard to intertwine colors, i just want a way to get my ring!!!

Did you ever find someone like this as an ace? (sexual content)

If the labels help: I'm asexual, biromantic-strongly-leaning-women and sex-favorable.

I'm not insecure about anything, just kinda hopeless.

(All from now on is speculative, i'm a virgin)
Everywhere i look in, it just returns me that i'm a 'service top' in bed, and just not 'stone top' because the only touch-me-not rule i have is to ignore i have a dick.

I get satisfaction in sex purely from my partner's enjoyment, so i wouldn't have sex if they were ace too. that comes down to me not being able to coom when trying to jerk off, and I've died from blue balls many times.

Me not wanting to have my genitalia in the way and being ace just make me more favorable towards some kinks (nothing weird, dont fear reading beyond this):

  • I don't want to receive oral but like giving;
  • Pegging sounds nice, not merely because of the act itself, but about me being vulnerable to a person that I'm letting take WHATEVER they want from me, ask me anything, and i'll do it. I never tried anal, just fingering, and it feels much nicer than any response my body can give, but still, nothing sexual, it's as good as a good scratch, but more intense;
  • For me, these have to be done along with worshipping, and in the least dominant way possible: instead of "good girl/boy" a "your body looks beautiful in this lighting" while horizontally climbing them slowly;
  • I think of sex more as art than a mindless relief.

So, do you feel like this? Are you in the same situation as me or did you find the love jar?
