Well I had two private lessons scheduled today and 0 percent happened. Communication is one issue that really bugs me here! My ING Bank one, told me that he got an email from my office saying it was cancelled, funny they couldnt push "forward" to me so I didnt make the hour commute to wait half an hour and come back home.
While I was sitting there, I made lots of plans and goals for myself. I thought a lot about life after Turkey, Sometimes i wonder if there is going to be life after turkey or just continued life in Turkey, but over all, i think i'm pretty sure my future plans are based away from here. I started looking at what goals I have for my life. What I want out of a job and how I can attain those. I really want to pursue my languages so I'm going to make a concious effort to study A LOT! I was asking my roommate some Turkish questions and she got me interested in a language school that would probably work with my ridiculous schedule. I am also trying to keep up on my italian. I'm thinking about spenind my week and a half holiday there so i can further my language skills and be more appealing to international businesses. Fluency in three languages would be my goal, one that I'm going to work hard on. that means I need everyone who reads this blog to hold me accountable.
After all that life planning and thinking, I came home. Two of my roommates where here when I arrived and one asked me about what we were going to do for christmas, we are the only two goin to be here, and I started to think she meant turkish christmas "new years eve" But she said christy, Friday and saturday what do you want to do? Eat here go out? Go out for a christmas dinner and then go out? She said she would find something festive for us to do. that made me really excited, I said as long as I wasnt by myself I would be happy. You cant really recreate Christmas here, because it wont be the same as it was with my family at home. Its time to make the most of what I have and to celebrate Jesus's birth. I told her my only plan was to go to church and i would do anything afterwards. It made me excited as I was beginning to think i would have a really lonely Christmas.
Welp I am off to study! Starting my new year resolutions early:)iyi geceler(turkish goodnight) buona notte(italiano)
Keep studying those languages. And enjoy Italy when you go back!!
