My Country Is On CNN... (And In Other News, I Still Have No Internet)

Mark Foley brought more attention to Gozo than the Ministry of Tourism ever did. I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or not... I actually live on the same street as the priest, and know him by sight, though I've never spoken to him (I'm selling my story to the highest bidder, so please form an orderly queue). His brother also taught me at school (he was one of my favourite teachers) - I told you it was a small country.

Well, scoop of the day over, I'm still lugging my laptop around, because we've been told that since our street has just been opened, there's no cable service yet, so we're stuck without TV or internet until they lay down the wires.

At University, I'm still enjoying my lectures, and last Saturday I had the time of my life at Reclaim the World (a day of activities organised by the local left-wing NGOs), where I met lots of like-minded people and took part in some very interesting discussions about the political direction Europe is taking - and that's about all, so I'm rushing off to my next lecture.

Sunday sounds great, hopefully you'll be keeping in-touch with some of those people?
I'm worried because I'm going to study politics at university. However, so are a lot of the completely right-wing boys in my class! The kind of boys who think...well, their views are extreme, shall we say. I don't think I could cope with three more years surrounded by Nazis...

I'm planning on attending meetings by Moviment Graffiti, which is a somewhat militant liberal organisation (in a very good sense), so I'm keeping in touch. If you want to check out their website, it's www.movimentgraffiti.org (it's in English).

Hi, John - I'm Deborah, I'm 18 (but I have the mental capacity of a 10-year-old), and right now I'm living in Swatar, because of University.
