lifestyles

I've heard a lot of stories the last week that have had my mind a turning. Most out of respect, will not be referenced. I did have a big blog planned. Thoughts have been going through my mind like crazy lately, but nothing seems important enough to write right now. I have 3 months left. I am getting ready to go home. I need people around me that understand me and love me for the way I think and act. I have started hanging out with the teacher group that I so badly didnt want to be associated with at the being of my time here. However, i realized that maybe, there is a reason they all stick together. There are a lot of messed up people out there, there are alot of beliefs out there that are just plain wrong. I love the need to tell me how horrible America is, daily, but yet wear clothes that come from America and have a Coca Cola in your hand. Does that seem fair to you? Tell me how much you hate my country yet, cherish the products that come from it? I once had that same hatred for America, i think thats why I wanted out so badly. Now i'm seeing that despite how bad America can be, no one is perfect. America has for the most part been really good to me. I have advantages that others don't have. I think the teachers that have been doing this for awhile realize that "having all turkish friends" kinda sucks. I think that's what Bettina hinted at too when i first moved here. the majority of her friends were international.

I think the view of relationships, whether that be friends or more than friends is very scewed, although I love learning about it, really frustrates me.

Maybe i'll come back to touch on all the other things that have been on my mind, but right now my computer is going to die so I need to go find a power source.
