Turkish Delights

I officially stink at this blogging thing! Its been almost two months! It just seems like not much is happening that there's not much to say. So we've been going to these schools and I really can't stand it. Yes I know thats what every kid my age says but I think I have a different reason. We don't learn! I'm missing AP US history so much that I've been doing my own research! The classes are simple. The teacher gives you information, and you memorize it. Then you take the MCAS style test every week! Than if that's not enough, we have midterms esque tests every month!!! Oh and then there's the problem that I don't understand the tests but I'm really not worried about that. I'm more worried that I'm falling behind and really wasting time while my classmates at home are learning valuable information instead of the first five old ottoman newspapers (tercuman-i ahual is one. thats OLD turkish) The bright side is that I love the dorms and think my turkish has really improved there. I can now at least cary on a basic conversation with people.
    Speaking is the hardest for any language. Next time your talking with someone think about the different ways you talk to your family, teachers, and friends. For someone learning English thats basically three sub languages to learn.
