End of School and Malta

My first year is finally over after many breakdowns, panic attacks, caffeine overdoses (it seems like), and hours of studying. I'm now a 2L (pending my grades)!  My first day off was seemingly boring, but it was nice to have time to actually do all the chores I've needed to do over the past few weeks, and I was able to cook again (made a tasty dish - baked rigatoni with mini meatballs). If you don't know about it already, a blog at smittenkitchen.com has a great selection of recipes, many baked goods, and everything my boyfriend and I have tried has come out great!

I leave for Malta in 5 days, and I'm finally getting over my fear of flying.  I don't think I technically have a fear of flying, but I've just never flown across the ocean, so doing that by myself is a little unnerving.  I'm starting to get excited about being on a Mediterranean island for 3 weeks though:

 There is so much to do on the island that I hope I have time to experience everything! I'm going to try and arrange trips to Italy and maybe Tunisia, but as of now, I'm not sure if I'll be able to (my school is NOT giving us any long weekends to travel).  My next few days will mostly consist of getting packed and ready to go, before I leave my cozy little apartment for an EXTREMELY cozy little dorm room in Malta.
