The biggest news recently is that I have passed the half-way
point for my exchange! It is really strange how long it has been since I have
left America .
It feels like it has only been a couple of months. It is also weird thinking
about how in less than five moths I will be in the US again. Every month I’ve been
becoming more attached to Turkey
and I feel like when it is time to leave it will be really difficult.
Other than that, not much has been happening recently. I am
currently on a school break, since at the end of the first semester we get two
weeks off (although I didn’t go to school the week before the break started
because there weren’t any classes, so I will have three weeks). And next week I
will be off to Antalya
for another AFS camp.
I have also been trying to improve my Turkish more, which
has been difficult. Turkish is so different from English, and it has been hard
trying to learn it. I have mainly been practicing vocabulary online, but I also
try to speak it with my friends and family.
