Excavations Photos

I'm not in the mood for writing so for now I'm just embedding the photos of both Zejtun and Ghar ix-Xih excavations 2007. I hope you enjoy them :)

Zejtun Excavations 2007:


Ghar ix-Xih Excavations 2007:

updates ....

Some time has passed since my last post. Since then I've finished my finals and already have four end of semester exam results out :) I got some unexpected marks, I thought I would barely pass both the Riverine Civilisations and Ancient Israel credits, but on the contrary, I did quite well :) I also got an A for my Documentation and Illustration Techniques credit :) I'm really proud of myself for that. Click below to check them out :)



Another section of the credit required that we take several photos to depict archaeological artifacts or sites. In due course I will upload some of the ones that were handed in.

Now I just have to wait for the results of my finals ... I really do hope that I've done well in those as well *fingers crossed*

Excavations have started, and the first week has already passed, another week to go and the second season of excavations at Zejtun will be over :/ But there is always the third season at Ghar ix-Xih awaiting :) I will be uploading the excavation photos shortly on esnips as well, so if you're interested keep an eye on this blog :) But for now you can check out last year's excavations at Zejtun:



I guess that's all for now :D
Take care and enjoy your summer

6hrs to go ....

It's 04:04 in the morning, and I'm still up and about in this unsaintly hour!! In 6.30hrs I have my first final, and I feel as if I know nothing at all!! :( I'm not still awake because I'm panic stricken, I've passed that phase many hours ago, but I have heartburn (guess that meat pie wasn't such a good idea after all :/), and I feel that I should try to cram in as much information as possible once I can. I feel that I have to be reallyyyyy lucky to pass this exam. I can't remember any dates, or names. I only have a vague idea of things ... so much for spending all those days stuck to my desk studying. Well, I guess we'll have to see in a few hours time. I just hope that I'll at least garner 45marks, that way I won't have to worry about a resit ... at least for this exam!!!

Well I'm off to peruse the rest of the past papers and try to work out some of the answers. And then I'll surely be looking forward to 14:00 to have a good rest, maybe even give up the driving lesson.

(as for the picture below, I couldn't find anything close enough to how I feel right now, there are no pictures of people banging their heads against their desks or screaming their head off against a pillow ... or maybe they haven't reached the state I'm in!!)

almost 24hrs away from my first final .....

Well, I have nothing in particular to say. It's just that I'm almost 24hrs away from my first final and I felt that I should write it here ... or maybe it's just escapism because I'm terrified of this exam and have no idea where to start :/

Well .... I'm off to cram my mind with stupid information which (hopefully) I will find useful tomorrow.

Cheerio!!!

the mind is a beautiful, frustrating thing

Less than a week away from the exams, and I'm here wondering why my mind decides to block off all the facts and information from the books and the notes I've painstakingly taken over these past three years, and instead it suddenly decides to be artistic. It feels as if it overclocks, blocks, and consequently diverts all incoming power into the artistic sector of the brain. The mind sure is an amazing thing. I've noticed that in no examination period did my mind focus on something it did before. Once it was the turn of interior design, another of clothing, another of knitting, another of writing, photography, etc. It fascinates me and I can do nothing but stand in awe on how the space between my ears functions, and decides to become a rebel on the days I need it the most. It's just unbelievable!!

I'm off to try and study something now, let see what new spark of creativity awaits me now

how would you feel?

If after 20years living in your house, you find out that our own house is actually standing on rubble and soil, how would you feel? Would you feel safe and sound?






These photos were taken May 28th 2007, at Cottoner Ave. Fgura

For someone really special and important in my life:

My dear,
when you'll read this you will think that it's just bullshit. You are free to believe what you want, however I assure you that this is coming straight from my heart.
I am really sorry that I'm such a difficult person to be with. I've failed in everything and now I'm failing you, the only thing in my life which gives me hope. As the song says: 'words don't come easy', and right now I don't know what to say. I just want to give you my heartfelt apologies for all the wrong I have done to you during these months.

"Some words are like rays of sunshine
others like barbed arrows or the bite of a serpent."

Lately mine words were like the latter, but I sincerely promise you that I will do my utmost not to hurt you and to say only the words which are like the rays of the sun, rather than the bite of a serpent.
Believe it or not I do love you, even though I do not show it in the best of ways. I know that this is not enough, but I hope it is a good first step towards redemption.
I love you my dear, thank you for everything
