study abroad. i think i'm missing the study part.
so, i go to class monday through wednesday. and then go to zmerc, one of the many bars within walking distance of the residence. see, what's awesome about zmerc is, not only do they have cheap drinks, but they feed you. every once in a while, they bring each table a tray of snacks (egg rolls, steak, escargot...whatever happens to be coming out of the kitchen at the time). this leads to lots of drinking and eating until two or three in the morning...pretty much every night of the week. if not at zmerc, then at the nationalist or labor party bar or that place with the super cheap burgers whose name i can't remember. then on the weekends (thursday through sunday) it's off to paceville, which is kind of like malta's bourbon street.
suffice to say, i'm having a good time. but sometimes i wonder if maybe there was some other point to my spending a year in malta. like, studying. well, i guess i'm covering the whole making friends from across the world thing. and once my cast comes off (tomorrow!) i can really start exploring the island. perhaps this weekend we'll head to gozo (a smaller island that's part of malta) to get in some quality camping and scooter time. well, it's off to the grocery store with me. it's my turn to cook dinner...
