What a year!
Oh my God...I finished the last exam at the College of Europe...a year just flew by and I didn't even write one post on the blog...was the College that time consuming?
So many things have happened...French, deadlines, papers, deadlines, presentation, deadlines, exams, deadlines, Malta's general election, deadlines, another PN government (thank God), deadlines, more papers, deadlines, another Eurovision disaster for Malta, deadlines, designing year book, deadlines, more exams, deadlines...and as always, after finsihing your last exam, you fidn youself asking what to do next? It is like life revolved so much around studying and preparing papers that when you finish, it's like you have nothing to do.
This will definately be a year to remember, however, as everything the show must go on...for the next three weeks..it will be partying, traveling, enjoying the last days with the new-found friends and then back to Malta on 22 June to restart the real life.
In the meantime, I hope that the blog will return to life as well!

Relax...Take It easy!!
Hey Relax...Take it easy!
It is true I haven't written anything in my blog but it dosn't mean that I have disapperead from the planet. I am here hhhhhhheeeeeyyyyyyyyyy I AM HEREEEE!!!
Well it seems that the blog has some fans and that I have to keep on writing on what I am going through, or else I start getting e-mails of disappointment. I guess J.K. Rowling gets loads of those after publishing the last book in the Harry Potter series...WE WANT MORE!!!
So..wamt happened to me after I arrived in Bruxelles??
Upon arrival I settled into my room in central Bruxelles...the room is nice but at first really hated the common parts which I had to share with the others in the house. I think my eyes have now adapted and I see it as quite ok, but at first I really saw the 2 kitchens and the living room as too dirty to live in.
The house is shared with another 15, and till last week it was soo cool to stay downstaits in living room with anothr 8 or 9 people. Now it has gone really quite cause everyone is on holiday...it is August!
And it is also August in the rest of Bruxelles, with most of the Euroepan Union institutions closing down for the month and most of their employees going back to their own country for a holiday, so most of the city is like a ghost town at this time.
Yep...the first impression that I took of Bruxelles was not that good...empty streets, closed shops etc etc...a real ghost town...but now I have really adapted. I must say that I don't like Bruxelles as a city, apart from the centre of the city centre..hehehe....but then again I love the international intellectual society that lives here.
As for the French course..it is goign great and now I can understand French and speak quite a bit..hehe lovign it..and my class mates (who will also be my class mates and neighbours in Bruges are excellent..could not have asked for ncier people!)
I am now in mid of my stay here in Brussels...during the next half I will be venturing a bti mroe out of the city. Yesterday I went to the city of Liege, situated at the east of Belgium (clost to Cologne in Germany)..and in the coming weeks I hope that I will visit Antwerpen and Ghent in Belgium, shilst also planning trips to the Netherlands, Paris and aslo Luxembourg.
So...I hope that this will satisfy your curiosity..until my next blog..take care of yourselves and each other! (JERRY!!!)

Last Day Of Ibero Journey: Sintra, Cabo de Roca , Caiscas, Estoril and Lisboa!
Three and a half weeks of travelling across the Iberian peninsula have come to end. Andorra, Spain and Portugal have been fantastic countries to visit, with fascinating sceneries, delicous food, interesting people and wonderful musuems, cathedrals and towns.
The last day took us to some villages close to Lisboa: Sintra (with its amazing castle, Cabo de Roca (the most wetsern point of continental Europe - facing the USA), Caiscas (with amazing beaches) and Estoril (a stylish town).
Tomorrow the journey takes us to Brussels, where once again it will be back to studying...this time in an effort to improve French...until then..Aurevior!
