Because exhaustion has taken hold of me at this moment, I shall update in list form. These are random and not-so-random thoughts of the past few days.

1. I’m in for a whole lot of workload and stress this sem. If last sem was killer enough, I think I have it three-fold this sem. Help me, Lord.
2. For one thing, I have Dacanay for Theo131. If you’re from Ateneo, I guess that speaks for itself. To add to that, my PolSci majors are more demanding than ever. Talk about weekly quizzes, an average of at least 200 pages worth of readings per week, and final papers that could total 20,000 words (both individual and group). I also have group works for all. Of course, these are rough estimates, but I’m pretty sure it’s close.
3. This is my first time to have a class that ends at 6PM. The fact that it ends at nightfall reminds me of late-night BlueREP rehearsals for Sweet Charity in the SEC classrooms. BTW, my last class is also at SEC. It’s not really a problem just as long as the roads of EDSA will be good to me.
4. Six hour breaks are no joke. I am not used to it, and it’s going to be interesting what things I’d end up doing by the end of the semester.
5. I have tough teachers with tough standards this sem. I’m not actually that worried about them, because most are pretty good. And if I am able to learn a lot from them, it will be worth itThe inhumane number of readings PER WEEK is unbelievable though!!!
6. Discussions during my POS classes are always a treat. There are no dull moments.
7. I still have my PolSci elective on Saturday. It still hasn’t sunk in yet that I have Saturday classes. Mostly because I keep scheduling late night events on Fridays. Let’s just hope this will be a good class to wake up early and travel to Ateneo on a Saturday.

Christmas decorations are being put up here in the house. I’m excited for the holidays. Too bad I have tons of reading assigned during the break.

Nararamdaman ko na talaga ng lubos ang pagka-junior ko!!! Waaaaahhh!
