in the morning i went to school with the dominican girl, because Luc and Luca had to be there half hour earlier. the school is not even 5 minutes away, only 3 minutes, if, and only if you don´t lose your orientation. but fortunately i got a little map from the school, so we arrived on time :)

the coffe machine was not working, for me it wasn´t important, but Caroline´s english was suffering under the lack of coffeine, so she was talking in german to me all the time... :)
we had a grammar test, according to the points upper intermediate, but the speaking was only intermediate, how i expected, so i´m in B1+ now. i have to check the names of my classmates on the  list, beacause i don´t remember everyones name yet...

in the morning we have general english, this week we are 10 in our class. Luca is here too, and another german guy, and a german girl too. with these germans i´m in the same afernoon class.
in the afternoon the focus is on speaking, and on "functional language".

in the morning they showed us the secret entrance of the supermarket too, but i already knew it :) and they warned us always to look right (or left? i´m going to have some problems on this island) before we cross a road. and there were some other useful advices too. and now i know, that if i ever get lost (never happens...) i can ask a maltese from the street, and he or she will help me. or will ask other maltese to help me. or ask all of his or her relatives to help me, until i´m not lost anymore.

tomorrow we have no school, because of a public holiday, St. Paul´s day. it happened long time ago (1st century a.d ?). St. Paul (was he St. by then?) had a shipwreck here in Malta. he tried to escape to get his head cut off. maltese were first mad at him, because if he had a shipwreck, he should have died, so why is he alive... then a snake bit him, and he was still alive. maltese were still mad at him, because now he really should have been dead... but St. Paul didn´t die, he survived, and maltese thought: wow, he is cool. and that´s why they celebrate tomorrow St. Paul´s day. but during the week we will have longer lessons, so there is no less english this week.

i took some photos of the appartement, and of our evening walk with Luc to Paceville. and he is joining me tomorrow to visit Gozo, Malta´s sister island (he once visited Gozo almost, but then he didn´t, but i don´t know any details. maybe better so.)
