A friend in the time of need

I like being in Turkey, but it was starting to get lonely. I was starting to get into a rut of going home and staying home after my classes. I noticed why the teachers hang out only with other ex-pats. some turks just cant be trusted. I'm learning that, On saturday night i figured I was going to spend another night reading by myself when my phone rang. it was my roommate telling me to come meet her at some restaurant. Even though i was already in my pajamas I knew i needed to get out and go. I quickly dressed and met up with them. It ended up being a great night. I hear some good music then one of her friends invited me out dancing, which was really fun too. I got to meet a whole new group of people, and they were friends with my roommate which made them all very trustworthy. That was nice. The next day I went to church, it was the Christmas carol service. A girl sat next to me, and I eventually started talking to her, as i havent given up on meeting new people at church yet. She was asking why I didnt come to a few events and I explained they were all during my odd teaching hours. She took me to the Chruch lunch where I met a lot of other people. Her act of kindness really helped also. Finally that night, I went out after work with some of the teachers and one of them asked about my days off, and we realized we had the same ones. She asked if we could hang out on those days cause she doesnt do much otherwise. I said definitely and she actually called me the next day to do something. Wow. three things in a row that didnt fall through :) Yay, its nice to have that during the holidays when it sucks not being in America.
