My classes resumed last Tuesday. I’m officially a college senior. (Yikes! I’m getting old. )

My first class is at 8am. And for someone who’s not really a morning person, the whole “waking up” process is a complete struggle. I’m not really the type who gets up right away the moment I open my eyes. I still stay in bed for a couple of minutes more, say my prayers, check my mobile, “close” my eyes for 5 10 20 minutes and will not budge until I realize that I’m about to be late.

That’s why I try to avoid taking those early classes. (hee )

This time though, I have no choice cause they’re the only ones available plus they fit perfectly on my intended Tuesday-Thursday (TH) schedule. I thought that since I’ll only be having classes twice a week, things will be a little less stressful with all my free days.

But I was wrong. After having all my classes, I felt so exhausted not to mention so hungry that I’m already hearing angels and seeing a tunnel of light. (nah I’m only exaggerating but I was really really hungry then. )

Still, I love my TH schedule. I especially like my professors this term. I have a feeling though that their subjects will be extra-challenging. One of my professors in particular, is the college Dean.

I find him very nice though. And very techy too. While most teachers get dirty using chalk, he has everything on PowerPoint. And I think he has three laptops and all those other gadgets. He also brings to class his assistant to take care of all the setups.

But it�s not really the techy-ness that made me admire this Professor of mine but I guess, his character. He openly admits being new to the field he�s teaching and teaching the course would also be a learning experience to him. That’s exactly his reason for teaching Growth Economics�so he�ll learn more about the subject as well.

That�s great humility in my humble opinion.

With that said, I�m looking forward to the many thing�s I�ll learn this term.

In other news, Carrie Underwood is the new American Idol! I was so thrilled she won. I’ve been secretly rooting for her since the beginning. Anyway, I’ve seen her rendition of Guy Sebastian’s Angels Brought Me Here, and it was amazing! I got teary-eyed the first time I watched it. I know she wouldn’t see this but nevertheless, congrats to you Carrie!

Also, while listening to my Hale CD, my mom commented that the band sounded good and was surprised when I told her that they’re in fact, Pinoy. My mom like it so much that she asked for a copy. Hehehe my mom has the coolest music taste ever. (Mana sakin )

By the way, I heard them play last night at Magic 89.9’s Live na Live and man! They were sooooo good! Even their Radiohead and Coldplay covers were done so well. I also like how the members, in spite of their success, remain humble. Plus Champ’s darn cute. I’m in love.

Anyway, I got the same reaction from my Mother when I played his concert CD in the car.
