The next week both Matthew and Becca had family visitors, so I wasn’t expecting to see much of them, although by this stage we were so friendly with the other residents that this didn’t bother me too much. I did however manage to visit St.Pauls’ cathedral with Becca and her cousin, which was an amazing sight and again emphasized the country’s passion for religion. This week consisted of SEC exams for the students in our practical classes, so we were not in university much, with the exeption of our business management class and a hockey session, which was based on the basic teaching skills of passing the ball. Most of us even found this difficult due to the uneven playing surface. I also managed to celebrate St.Paddys day on the Thursday. Everyone from the residence joined in our celebration and the whole place was decorated in Irish colours. It was great to see everyone appreciate the Irish culture, although I did run up a big phone bill after ringing my mum back home when the Irish songs came on.
The week ended in my second game for our new club, which Matthews mum and dad, as well as Becca came to watch. We were comftorably beaten needless to say, were not best pleased in the changing room after. The Maltese players got their first glimpse of our Northern Irish temper. Next week my parents are coming to visit, so hopefully I will get to see more of Malta then.
