Back to the Travelling Life ! :))
(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...Hey 
Here I am again ! Finally, phew, exams are over ! It’s been hardly 20 hours since I heaved a huge sigh of relief as I wrote the final full stop of my last exam for this semester. And I still can’t believe it. From my side, I must say that I did quite well. I hope the same goes for all those of you reading this blog :))
I must say I’m in love with the post-exams feeling. That feeling of being able to wake up late after so many weeks of waking up to the horrible sound of the alarm clock early morning. Or of waking up to the smell of coffee to try and get your brain working again in the early hours when half the world is still asleep. I’m in love with the feeling of being able to wake up at any hour without feeling guilty. Of finally being able to go out without any time restrictions or thoughts of the pile of scribbled-on papers waiting for you at home. Of actually devoting some time to yourself to feel and look great. And of finally being able to devote myself fully to AEGEE-Valletta. Yes, I simply love it.
Yet this time round, the post-exam period for me is even greater than ever before. Tomorrow, Friday 5th, barely 36 hours after my last exam, I’ll be on my way to Russia on an AEGEE event !! To be quite frank, I’m viewing it more as a challenge than as a normal ‘holiday’ !! With temperatures currently around -25 degrees in Russia, I think the best thing that can happen in this event is the feeling of satisfaction of having survived through such, well inhumane I must say, temperatures and coming back to Malta alive :))
But of course, I also can’t wait to have a great time not only with the other participants from all over Europe [around 15 countries according to the organisers ], but also with the other 3 AEGEE-Valletta members [Liz - current President, Pierre - ex President, Andrew - Active member] who will all be on their way to Russia in less than 24 hours !!
I will definitely keep you updated with the progress of the Maltese group in Russia ! Goodluck with any remaining exams you might have!
If you’re jealous that I’ll be going to Russia, don’t be. Just check out www.aegee.org/events and you too could be on your way to a great European city sometime soon
Keep well !

All the best for the Festive Season!
(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...Hey
Ok I must admit. I had abandoned this blog for a few weeks. It’s not that I don’t like to share my AEGEE Life with you. I had in fact gotten used to it and even started to like it !! So you might ask, why have I been away for so long? Well, it’s partially my busy lifestyle, which got my caught up in so many things that I totally forgot about blogging
So well, here I am again. And the main reason why I’m back today can be summarised in just one short and simple sentence: just to wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Xmas
I’m off for now, but I promise I won’t take long to update you again, and I’ll be back in no time !
In the meantime, I do hope to see most of you at the KyiValletta Exchange, which starts on Tue 29th till Tue 5th! More info on www.v2k.aegee-valletta.org!
Keep well !

A new world, make it happen
(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...Hi all,
As the festive season is round the corner, we all start thinking where to spend that extra money we’ve been saving throughout the year. Buying presents, christmas decorations, clothes, food… its one of the best times of year where everyones will have the chance to meet and exchange the season greetings. But this is not the case for some other unfortunate families who will be celebrating christmas in hospital.
On the 26th of December (boxing day) we can put a smile on these peoples face. Help out by giving a donation during listrina. Together we can make a new world …make it happen !!
I take this opportunity to wish you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year 2010.
euch.

TGI Thursday !
(3 votes, average: 4.33 out of 5) Loading ...Wow. I’ve just realised. It’s Thursday !!! I can’t believe another week is nearly over. Phew.
Anyone in his right senses will agree with me that the weekend, in itself, is something to look forward to. Even if there’s nothing planned. Just waking up that tad bit later (or VERY late in my case ) makes one realise that the best things in life really ARE free.
But this weekend for us AEGEEans is special. Tomorrow for the first time we will be celebrating the birthday of someone very very special to all of us - AEGEE-Valletta itself !!! On 2 November AEGEE-Valletta in fact turned 12, and we’ll be celebrating this very special day tomorrow, together the AEGEE-Valletta Alumni who have worked a lot in the past years to make AEGEE-Valletta what it is today!
Mmmm.. can’t wait !!

Trying to get used to the World of Blogging!!
(4 votes, average: 5 out of 5) Loading ...Ok, I must admit, I’m totally new to this new blogging era. I never quite got the point of it all; with Facebook taking up a lot of my time (especially during study periods, of course. . ) I always preferred to simply update my status, comment on his and her album or simply read every single status of my 500 or so friends and then gossip about them later !!
So what takes me to the world of blogging? Getting bored of Facebook? Maybe. . or Possibly, rather ! Want you AEGEE-Valletta members to get to know us better? Definitely.
Over the years (not that I’ve been in AEGEE for a decade, so perhaps saying ‘in the 2 years I’ve been in AEGEE’ would be more accurate . . I’ve noticed that communication between the PEOPLE in the board (cos we are real people after all, not mere ‘President’ and ‘Human Resources Responsible’) and the PEOPLE who also happen to be AEGEE-Valletta members (we understand you are real people too has not been quite optimal, to put it nicely. I therefore seriously hope that this blog will help you get to know us just a little bit better, at least.
And after writing these 2 paragraphs or so, I’ve realised that I’m actually starting to enjoy the ‘world’ of blogging !!!
Well I seriously hope this blog will serve the purpose of helping you get to know us better; perhaps we can also keep you company in those never-ending days and weeks just before exams
That’s all for now; I promise I’ll be back soon !!
Happy new blogger,
Jeanella

a couple of hours later.. the result.. my 2nd press release :D
(5 votes, average: 5 out of 5) Loading ...Is it heaven? Is it hell? Where should I go? And the credits, what about them? Are they really transferred? And what about the credits my colleagues will do whilst I am abroad?! And then there is the funding problem: Will they be enough?? Is it safe to go alone, in a country I have never visited before? And for so long?! Sure it will be fun but what if I get lonely?? And the language.. Will I cope if I don’t even speak their language? If you ever thought about ERASMUS, these thoughts have probably crossed your mind… and not just once!
If you are thinking about going for ERASMUS, are simply interested or have already been on an ERASMUS programme, then AEGEE-Valletta would like to invite you for a debate, entitled “Exploring ERASMUS”. Since its foundation, in 1985, AEGEE still considers the foundation of ERASMUS programme in 1987 as one of its largest achievements. As it lobbied for the initiation of the programme back in 1987, AEGEE still fights for the rights of ERASMUS students today.
Hence, this debate was chosen as one of our main events during University of Malta’s Organisation’s week. The debate will be held on Wednesday 11th November at 10am at the University Quadrangle. Whilst being chaired by Ms. Anna Abela, the debate’s panel will include 2 students, one who is currently on an ERASMUS programme in Malta, and another Maltese student who has been on an ERASMUS programme in the past, UOM international Office representatives and Parliament Secretary of Sport Youth and Culture Hon Clyde Puli. Other tentative speakers include representatives from EUPA.
Thus, if you have questions about ERASMUS running through your mind, don’t let them bother you any longer. On the 11th of November, make sure you will be at the quadrangle at 10am. With people who have experienced ERASMUS and also representatives from the main organisations in charge of the programme, this is the best place to get your answers.
In addition to “Exploring Erasmus”, during Organisation’s week AEGEE-Valletta will also be organising an International night and two info meetings (where you can learn what AEGEE is all about). For further information about AEGEE, and the types of local and international events we organise, please email us on info@aegee-valletta.org.
