I try so hard to write blogs that are Loaded With Meaning. Everybody does. Everybody wants to be deep and intellectual. Yet no line I have ever written ever signified more:
I'm off to Berlin in six days' time and I cannot find my passport.
Why does my life have to- I can't even finish that sentence- I'm so worried that I've actually come full circle and been overwhelmed by an eerie calm and a sense of submission and resignation. It has to be somewhere here. And I heard there was a terrorism scare in Germany. Oh dear, God help us please.
By the way the big answer comes on the 14th September i.e. I shall then know whether I shall be a second year Ba English student or not. The only problem is that I shall be in Berlin, but everything will be okay I hope. Mum still thinks I'm on the 'path of ruin' and still sobs sometimes, but I just cannot discard my happiness just because of her. She has to stop living in the sixties and seventies (not the hippy type, but the Maltese type which induced a longlasting obsession with settling down in some dreary job for a lifetime, even if you hated it).
BTW MUM FOUND THE PASSPORT! Thank God for that. It shall be wintry in Berlin- how very odd! I can't even grasp the idea of moi in another country. I've been rooted here in Malta for so long that it seems too otherworldly. I love Malta, mind you, but the sameness and familiarity has lulled me to sleep. It will be nice having to take care of myself, not catching buses on automatic, and seeing foreign things that I do not see everyday of the week. Perhaps I shall be jolted into life. I'm a bit nervous, because I hope we really manage to make the most of this trip, yet it is 'nervous' in a good way.
I guess now it is time to sign off, because this blog is starting to resemble my private diary- ie a series of incoherent, unrelated sentences. One last note of thanks to Geraldine, who was so sweet and spent some time with me this morning while I waded through the bureucracy of university. They were nice today though. Hmmm *wonders*. Anyhow, it was really nice talking to Geraldine again :-D.
Till next time,
take care
