Malta

With me going away soon (sniff!) I have come appreciate my home country much more!
Here are some photos of Malta an y i love it! no, unfortunately I cannot take credit for taking these photos... my friend took them.



This an overview of the port (south of Malta).


I love the old winding streets. Mind you, not all streets are like these! but are only found in the really old towns.



I pass by these houses everyday, however when i c them in a photo they look really lovely!




Such a beautiful sun set!

summer!

ahhh! it's finally summer! the season we await with the such anticipation has finally arrived.

with it brings (and i will probably be mentioning this even more often) the whole Glasgow experience .... in 2 weeks!!!!!

How am i feeling about it?

Oh gosh, i feel like a pregnant woman (yea i knw... how would i know, i've never been pregnant lol)- my emotions seem to be everywhere and i can't understand them.

I have adjusted to Glasgow by going through complete different phases. When i first heard about it, another 4 students were interested so i was really keen on getting in, and when i was finally chosen - i was over the moon happy and excited like you wouldn't believe.

Then when the preparations started i was starting to lose heart and think i will never end up going after all because i couldnt find accommodation, and it was coming soooo expensive.

then once i figured EVERYTHING out, i was feeling totally excited, and really looking forward.

Which brings me to the current phase...

one of complete and utter fear and regret, i can't believe i'm saying this but i don't even want to go now. It hit me how much i'm going to miss my parents, my home life, my friends, my surroundings. Saying that i am completely sad and depressed is an understatment. I am definitely not backing out now, coz i'm sure i'm feeling normal emotions, but i just want everything i guess. I want to go to Glasgow but i dont want to leave my life behind for 3 months. I'm not too sure about my friend, the one who is coming with me, we are very good friends but you know what they say- u see a person's true colours when you live with them! So for this - i am very nervous. Not to mention we are 2 completely and utterly different persons!

Then there is the job... I hope i'll be good. I'm nervous i won't be able to cope and that i would just simply be a BAD social worker.

Then there is the Thesis worry... I'm quite ahead actually but still so scared i won't finish on time or do a good job.

I hope these fears are unfounded. I'm so thankful of the support i have at home and with my friends. I seriously do not know what i would do without them.

And of course to this blog who i actually write my trials and triumphs to... and i'm sure will continue to do so.

much love y'all
