Last Semester! Last Semester!

For two weeks i've been out of blogosphere, for reasons I would just like to keep with myself. I decided to write again simply because I can't help it. Though I know I do not post entries consistently, it has became part of my system, to write and share what has been happening to me, in school, at home etc. 

So my first week in school is over (at least in terms of academics, because I will again be at school tomorrow for org works). 

It is my last semester, that's why I have to make the most out of it. It actually made me regret those three and a half years, I should have done much better you know. But oh well, there's no point to feel that way. I'd rather make sure that this last semester I have with my beloved College will be truly remarkable, something I could always recall and recall.

With the start of my last semester, comes meeting the last set of professors we'll be dealing with. And so allow me to say something about them.

Philippine Economic Development Goals and Issues. We are under Madame Tuvera. Yes, we address her "Madame" because she used to teach french language, however I believe economics is really her forte. I can say that she's still new in the college and it's my first time to have her as my professor, therefore it's too early for me to say things. However, I am very much looking forward for a very informative class with her.

Protocol and Etiquette under Amb. Alfredo Almendrala (who'll celebrate his birthday tomorrow, Happy Birthday again Sir!). Well, it's my third semester with him so I don't have to worry that much. Nevertheless, that doesn't mean that I can now go very easy on class, because like I've said, I have to make the most out of my last semester, and I'll never know, Sir Almendrala might just be stricter this time. Hehehehe.

Comparative Government and Politics under no less than my dearest adviser, Amb. Josue Villa. Finally!!! I or should I say we, have been waiting for him to teach us since first year and again, we never thought it would happen. (Read this to know why it did happen, hehehe) As expected, he's really someone you would love to listen to. He's simply very pleasant, and it's maybe one of the many reasons why a lot of students love him. =) 

PS. I won't dare tell how me and my friends, Shiela, Anne and Quennie survived our epic first class with him. HAHAHAHA.

Public Speaking with Amb. Aladin Villacorte. He's our professor last semester and I must say, he's not too generous with grades compared to other professors, but personally I have nothing against him, because I was still able to get 2.0 from him, enough to be a scholar again, so Thanks Sir! :) Our first class with him is something remarkable (for me), he told us he has this glossophobia, fear of public speaking, exactly what he has to teach us. At first, I don't know how to react, well, who would? But after sharing his stories, how, despite of having such phobia still pass the bloody Foreign Service Exam, he definitely inspired me. 




International Non-Governmental Organizations with Dr. Marilyn Ngales. First time to be under her, but then the first meeting was enough to say that she's really good and perfect to teach the subject. Though she looks serious and strict I know I'll enjoy her class! 

And lastly, International Trade Communication under Mrs. Leonora Astete. She's actually from CAS faculty and I have never been in her class, but then I already know her for she's my friend on facebook since first year. Hehe. During our first meeting I actually thought she's a bit strict and serious but then after today's class with her, I am definitely wrong. She's too cool. Yes, that's the word! Though our class with her is at 5.30-7.00, we didn't get bored and sleepy. Again, she's really cool! =)

I think this post is already too long so i'll end it here.

PS. I miss our Dean, Amb. Reynaldo O. Arcilla, though I am still seeing him everyday. I miss our class with him. It's just sad that we're not under him on our last semester in school. Last sembreak, he told us he'll visit us quite often, and I am waiting for that visit since first day. I hope he'll remember. =))



Ciao!
