You know it's exam time when:
People who never update their blogs, are in fact updating their blogs
People start using facebook in a scary stalker-like way
On a Friday night, everyone is on MSN
Disney films and old cartoons start to be watched obsessively
New TV series are found
Inordinate amounts of chocolate are consumed
Wikipedia is visited 9126740783654 times a day to look up totally random info
Find a lot more teenagers at Mass on Sundays
You suddenly see people praying at odd times of the day
When you catch the bus to uni, every student on it is studying
The uni library suddenly becomes VERY full
And the number one reason how someone knows there are exams:
I have updated my blog twice in one week (shock! horror!) instead of once a month.
haha
Have a great weekend! and keep warm, although i have nothing to complain about!
lots of love

the art of procrastination
so it is the 14th of January and it's almost 6pm (CET) already!! aaaaa! this means that my 1st semester exams are drawing closer and closer. AFter 2 weeks of wondering if exams will actually be held (lecturers strike) they have confirmed that they ARE going to be held! That means Monday at 8.30 i will have my first exam - Ethics! Im not TOO worried about this one but still have to study coz there is quite a bit to remember. Then on Friday 23rd i have my last exam - Development in industrial societies... o gosh i hope i pass that one lol. Well we'll see i have to study, and not procrastinate, so best of luck to me. Let's just say i can't wait till friday the 23rd arrives so i can go party with my friends, coz i am missing them :(.
Other than exams, the new year is going ok, it could be better but i'm not complaining. Still excited to see what is going to come.
I keep seeing these reports on TV about the freezing temperatures the world is experiencing, cant say the same for Malta. Although we have rain and thunder every other day, the temperatures are still quite high like around 60F, which is quite warm considering it is january. Im not even wearing my jacket lol, only sweaters!
Hope you all have a good week,
Lots of love

happy new year!
wow! 2008 is over, and 2009 is a whole day old. 2008 was one of the best years i've had in a longggg time, it was perfect in every way. now i am so excited to see what 2009 has in store for us! for me it's definitely gonna be a growing experience since i have never lived on my own before. I am so excited for this year to get a move on, i hope it will be as good as the last! i am so thankful that i am so blessed and i have everyone i love around me.
more over, xmas was great too! i spent xmas in london, and had a great time, i truly enjoyed spending time with my parents since i dont really have time to sit down and talk when term is in session. i'm just a bit sad that christmas is over, because it is my favourite time of the year and it has passed all too quickly! ahh well! that's life.
Anyway, i have to go now to go to mass to thank god for this wonderful year, and to pray for the coming year
happy new year!

today month it will b xmas, and that week i wont be here in Malta but celebrating in London! yipeee!! cant wait, i havent been to london in like 10 yrs so i'm sooo looking forward to this!
i was told that my application to a hospital setting in Glasgow was rejected :(:( but was offered a place with children and adults with learning disabilities, i have no idea if i'm going to accept this or not yet, so we'll see what i'll end up doing. it does interest me, but it wasnt my first choice, i still have to do some more thinking and reading about this.
i have so much to do right now! and one super super hard assignment to tackle! and one ethics presentation and writeup, i have to film myself practicing being a social worker! sooo much to do, xmas break is going to come as such a godsend. im totally looking forward to it.
on the home front, everything if fine and everyone is looking forward to the holidays!

november!
what already november?? seriously?!!?!
so october is over already, and in comes november thus bringing about my favourite time of the year, christmas and winter. although the latter doesn't seem to have arrived yet seeing as its november and we are still wearing t shirts and flipflops! lol.
so wat has been up since i last wrote? wellll...
ok so i applied for my internship at glasgow's hospital or some other health care setting.
i went to sicily this last weekend and had a great time and really relaxed, it was much needed.
started writing some of my assignments, but really have a ways to go on the presentation and thesis fronts. hopefully i'll get there!
november also had some important birthdays and celebrations! my brother's 30th and my dad's 58th! and my sister's 1st year anniversary! it's so amazing how fast just a year goes by and how many changes happen.
i almost forgot! we celebrate my grandmother's 85th birthday... wow, she has lived to see so much and i hope i can live as long as her and see the changes the world goes through.
on the same note, i can't be anything but happy that the americans have chose Barack Obama as their president. i am speechless and so glad, because he has some fresh and great ideas. Almost every country in the world depends on America for some reason or other, therefore it is important that the USA have an excellent leader which can bring stability and perhaps end the economic crisis we are in. Well done president Obama!
ok so i know that absolutely nobody reads this blog, but if there is someone, anyone at all, just post a comment.. please? thanks!
well its already 6pm and i have to get ready for tomorrow's lectures - yuck!
much love and tc!
xxxxoxoxoxoxoxoooo

already almost one month of uni has passed! EEKKK!!! i can hardly believe it!! in 10 days i'm going to sicily! i cant wait coz i really need a break from all this stress that i have been feeling!! goodness!
this week will b quite quiet i think, im getting over a bad attack of what has been dubbed the 'UoM (university of Malta) cold' and so i had to stay in all weekend :( boohoooo :(. oh well next weekend should be fun - chinese on friday and a birthday celebration on sunday and then on the next friday we go abroad! yey! well its not really abroad - i mean we go to sicily via a boat and it's only 3 hrs a way so its like we'll still b at home- I DONT CARE! im still excited haha.
yesterday one my parents' friends from canada phoned... my mum was SO excited - over the moon excietd. she made me want to immigrate to Canada here and now. i find it stange though when my parents talk of canada... its like a completely different life to the one they lead now. it kind of freaks me out a little how all their canadian friends know my name, and all about me when i have no clue at all who they r. but WOW this lady who phoned was like my mum's closest friend there, and my mum has been looking her up for ages... how bizzare is that?
anyways have a great week to whoever reads this (although im pretty sure noone does! lol)

update
wow its been a while since i've written an entry properly!
well i've started back at uni - only twice a week so far though but it seems as if im going in every day for some reason or other lol.
I got accepted for glasgow which i am pleased about :) but im scared too. but i think its a good kind of scared u knw? i knw im going on an experience of a life time and experiences ARE scary! no matter at wat age you experience them! i'm waiting for all the formalities to be processed and then i'll be on my way.
On the thesis front i have to get down to reading volumes and volumes of material and infomation but i'll get there i hope.
Third yr so far has been uneventful, but i know i have to stay on top of my work so i know as the weeks go by i'm going to have to really knuckle down and concentrate on my studies and thesis work... im still taking it quite easy!
take care now and until next time!
much love!
