14th June - 21st June

This week was filled with highs and lows as I finished my exams but had to say goodbye to some friends!

To begin with, we went through the same process of revision for our second exam as we printed off loads of pages and began studying the rules and teaching que's of both badminton and tennis. Badminton rules were thanfully rather short and the notes were kindly provided by our lecturer. The tennis notes were very long, however had been made alot easier by the fact that we had been playing alot of tennis reguarly. The exam was in the same format as the first one and again I feel like it went well and was simple enough compared to the exams back home. However, one thing I am worried about is the marking, as we have never had anything marked in Malta, therefore we have no idea of the standard or what is expected!!
After the exam, our whole class went to have BBQ at a private beach that our Maltese friends knew about, we never eben knew it existed!! It was really good spending the night with our Maltese class mates, as they have been so good and made us so welcome on our stay in Malta.                        The way they have treated us makes me feel guilty and not doing more for those who have come to Belfast! Saying goodbye was not enjoyable, as we knew we would more than likely not be seeing them again, so we made sure we thanked them for everything
.

The goodbyes didn't get any easier as three of my good friends, Jordan Adams, Allison and Jordan Savage departed for America. As jordan Adams was leaving, one of the ither guys Lance asked him to play us one last song on his guitar. Of course he only picked a song that was completely depressing, adding to the sadness as he left. It was hard saying goodbye to these friends as they live so far away, and it has showed me the only downside that I have experienced of ERASMUS. My last week and a bit won't get any easier as I wave goodbye to more friends, and the Malta!
