So I started my second term of my [hopefully] final year in college. Like I said before I'm taking up International Studies majoring in American Studies. Yes, we study about anything and everything about the United States. Their history, economy, politics, culture... Name it, and I've most probably heard it in one of my professor's lectures. Honestly though I love my course. It's unique, compared to other courses that are very typical and usual. I get annoyed though whenever people ask me, "What job are you going to end up with?" It irritates me on how everything has to result to money. Can't I take a course because I enjoy it and find it interesting? I'm not stereotyping but I swear I find my course pretty cool. I particularly took this course because of my thirst to travel. I've never traveled outside my country. Ever. I've never ridden an airplane or a ship either. I have such a boring life in that sense, I know... Which is why I really want to travel, and this course is a perfect venue for me to do so. I really don't want to get stuck here and just end up having a job after graduating. It's so... boring! And typical. I want to be different. I want to plan my life differently. Which is why I want to travel.

Anyway, going back to my second term... It's been going well so far. I only have classes from Monday to Thursday. I get Fridays off either as my rest day, my going-out-with-friends day or a day for extra-curricular meetings and events. It's only my first week back and well, I'm pretty much tired already. I'm taking four major classes this term, on top of that, a religion class and thesis writing. My four major classes are United States Economy (the history and process of the economy of the United States), International Political Economy (how and why the international market works), International Law (self-explanatory), and United States Popular Culture (yes, this might just be the coolest class ever. But it's just the first week back and I'm already bombarded with readings. It's driving me crazy! Not only that, I got a lot of terrible professors this term, which is unlikely because I'm always lucky with my professors. Anyway, I'm hoping that I will survive this term--not only survive it, but ace it because I'm also on the honors list and since I'm graduating, I'm also running for honors so hopefully I'll be able to maintain my grades. I just don't want to get stressed so much this weekend because it's my day on Monday and I don't want anything to bother me! ;D Teehee.
