another post!

Yesterday after my exams i was just thinking about totally random stuff. Since i had an 8am exam and therefore had to wake up at 6 in order to get ready for the 7 o clock bus and to face the horrible, horrible morning traffic, I didn't get much sleep at all. So i was horribly tired when 2 pm rolled around and i was ready to leave uni. NB, when you are horribly tired you may (or may not!) think of totally random 'stuff'.

My first thought was about languages, upon uni admission all undergraduate students have to sit for a basic english test which is fine i mean. But what many students ask is why aren't lectures in Maltese? This seems easy enough to answer as in, English is a global language and MAltese is just spoken here in Malta and mostly spoken in the homes. Most Maltese can speak as many as 4 or 5 languages; French, Italian, English and Maltese as well as sometimes Spanish, German and Arabic. I love living in Malta for several reasons; it's small, i know where everythign and anything is so i never get lost, the warm weather all through out the year (ok, ok right now it is pouring) but temperatures never get lower than 9 degrees Celsius so... pretty ok. Also Maltese are really nice people if you cen get over their LOUD voices, exaggerated gesticulation and ignorance (i dont mean that in a bad way it's just that since we live in a small country, we don't have as many opportunities) u will find MAltese to be kind, generous and unique.

what else did i think of? well as i was riding the bus from uni i stopped to try to look out the bus window from an objective point of view, if i was a tourist what would i think of Malta? In this way i spotted more garbage on the curbs, the broken down walls, the abandoned houses, the weird looking shops, the outskirts of major towns. It is very interesting that you only spot this when u r truly looking for it.

mmm I also wondered why my parents ever returned to Malta after spending 20+ yrs of their life in canada, i find it interesting how they Canada neevr felt like 'home' and that returning to Malta was a breath of relief, this made me very curious at how i will feel when i leave for Glasgow in July. I am very very excited for July to come fast. :)

In the mean time, i am getting ready for my final exam of this Semester, all in all it has been an okay semester, it was very relaxed and i enjoyed having more time to myself during term time! Anyways until next time everybody!
cu and tc!
lots of love
