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.

My mom and I dropped by the A1 office a while ago to inquire about their driving courses. Little did I know that I was going to be enrolled on the same day. Now I�m officially a driving student and my orientation begins tomorrow. I�d also be applying for my student�s permit at the LTO so I could immediately start my hands-on training. I�m excited yet nervous at the same time since I have zero background on driving. See, I�ve always been the passenger (well, except for driving bump cars, but I couldn�t possibly do that on the road. lol.) so I don�t really know how it feels to be behind the wheels. Well, soon I will. I just hope I�d get through the entire course smoothly. Wish me luck!

LSS!

Hale�s latest single, �The Day You Said Goodnight� is currently my favorite song. I like how their songs have such killer lyrics that I find quite poetic. Plus the lead singer looks like Atom Araullo, my childhood crush haha. I�ll definitely get my hands on their album.

And while I was surfing on the web I found this site where you can view the song�s lyrics and download the chords.

Also, another song of the moment is Tori Amos� single, �Sleeps with Butterflies� Again, poetry in motion and the melody is too beautiful. My friend, Trixie and I have a term for this kind of music.. �lipad music� since you�ll feel as if you�re floating, dancing on air when you listen to it. Flower petals fall in every note. Haay so, pretty.

Gah! I’ve been neglecting this site for so long. I wish I’d finish my next layout soon. This one’s old and boring already. :x

By the way, my debut rocked!! A big KISS (MWAH!) and a big HUG (MMM) to everyone who sent in their greetings. I also want to thank more than ever, those who came to the party and surprised me with their presence (and presents lol). You made my birthday really special. I feel so loved. � Brand New Soco Amaretto Lime

I’m classmates with her in RELSTWO. Hello to you too Tina! *waves*

I’m really not a morning person. And I don’t think I’ll ever be one. But things are rather different these days. I’m brutally forced to wake up really early every morning for the entire term because my first class starts at 7 (and I don’t want to be late with any of my classes anymore).

I have 6 classes to attend to. 2 out of 6 are with other blocks, meaning, I’m all alone and I have no one to talk to during those classes. Anyway.. The last one ends at 6pm so I’m more or less at home by 730. Yes, I only have to do it three times a week but oh my..It’s too much for me. Nakakapagod! I’m in school for 12 (+/-) straight hours.

Daig ko pa ang empleyado.

Reminds me of highschool. With the amount of stress and all.

Although I must admit that I’m not completely, entirely loathing my schedule because I now have people to be with during my three-hour break. Halleluiah! And it’s with my favoritest blockmates on earth. Yeah. How lucky can you get? My study/serious/quiet time is reduced by 50% though� but it really does not matter much. At least I’m not at all kawawa, pakalatkalat, clueless and a loner during my break. *wide smile*

I may not be blogging a lot for a while. Either I’m too busy, too sleepy, too tired or just plain lazy. It’s not like you’ll miss me or anything.. I just thought of letting you know. But I’ll still be online both in YM and in IRC. Just in case you need to get in touch with me. So until then, see you.

The closer I come to you the closer I am to finding God. �
