Shakira returns to university to study Ancient History

Shakira has returned to university in Colombia to study Ancient History, with her lecturer saying she was impressively intelligent and not recognised.

Chart-topping mega popstar type Shakira is back at university in Columbia, after putting her music career on hold to study Ancient History. The real shock in this story is that apparently no one recognizes her when she's on campus, which perhaps means she isn't quite the mega popstar I thought she was.

Indeed, her lecturer has claimed that he was shocked to discover that one of his latest students was a (moderately popular?) singer, saying: "She just looked like an ordinary student. She didn't act like a big celebrity or anything. I was really impressed with how intelligent she was".
