Malta

Had another hail storm the other day and was caught out in the cold jogging in a t-shirt before I left it was beautiful.  Now I have a cold.  ah well.  The weather has been really nice sometimes except the freakin breeze!  I got a sun burn sitting out reading in the sun the other day and I'm not going to complain because at home "the only burn (they'd) get is a wind burn from skiing". 

Saw Drakula at St. James Cavalier the other nite.  It was a musical with a live band and it was really nice! I enjoyed it!  Also saw the Merchant of Venice in Valletta at the Embassy (the movie theater).

Classes are busy loads of reading trying to keep up with European politics and trying to get to the same level of knowledge as the rest of the Europeans and Maltese in the class. 

We have a new Roommate from France for the month she is here on work term.  She is really nice.  We went to the market in Valletta and to church on Sunday and then for a coffee at the Coffee Garden and we talked a little about her plans and so forth.

This weekend one of the organizations at uni have planned an outting to Buggiba to a dance club, that should be a good time...however don't think I'll make it.  Not feeling to well.  the rest of my girls in the flat are going.

Tuesday the 8th was women's day in Bulgaria, Japan and Italy so a bunch of us girls got together to celebrate.  I know in Canada it's a day to remember the women who died in the Montreal Massacre. 

The weekend before last there was a masqarade ball in Naxxar and a few people from res went to that they said it was a pretty good time there was a dinner and everyone was dressed up really nice.
