I SHOULD say that these days are my busiest.

I feel like a student again, rushing to finish all the requirements before graduation comes. I have a lot of things to accomplish. But like a masochist, I seem to like it. Very much.

I enjoy it because I feel useful again. I guess it is my primary need to be of use to people. Haha.

I sat as one of the panelists in the two-day thesis defense of the seniors. It wasn’t very hard because I have observed so many of similar events when I worked at the NDMU Research Center where I have learned what questions to ask. I have also been into numerous research congresses so I have sort of mastered the process.

I enjoyed it because by looking at them, I recalled how nervous I was when I was in their situation about five years ago. This time, it was I who made them nervous because they thought I would ask tough questions. But of course, I had been friendly.

This afternoon, they had a closing program where Teacher Shy revealed that this batch is the best batch so far, which she also told us before. Haha.

They gave me a HUMAN* polo shirt as a token. That was very nice of them. But it would have been better if it were cash. Kidding.

Tomorrow, I will be an examiner to the second year students as they take the National Assessment Test (NAT). I hope our school’s performance would be better this year.

I still have not computed my students’ grades and I have to submit it before the end of this week because the checking of forms will take place very soon.

Despite the busy sched, I have sneaked out for a few hours to meet with fellow bloggers in SoCSarGen–Sir Avel, Aethen, and Paul–at Coffee Dream. I also went out with Lotie to watch Juno and Jumper.

Next week, I might be in Davao City to claim my PRC license and hopefully, to join the Davao Food Appreciation Tour in time for the Kadayawan Festival.
