The question should be simple: Is it possible to use freebsd-update to upgrade to a -CURRENT release (9 or 10)? I tried numerous variations on the terminal but they don't seem to work
You can't. You can upgrade via freebsd-update only to -RELEASE, -BETA and -RC versions. You can upgrade to -STABLE and -CURRENT branches only by compilation.
I don't think you can learn anything without forcing yourself to learn. If I stay on -RELEASE and face no problems, I will not learn anything. I am a fast learner and a CS student, so I felt I should take the challenge and install -CURRENT
EDIT: By the way I successfully upgraded to -CURRENT by compiling
