Plans plans plans

This week my mind has been buzzing with my options of where to go. I had these extravagant plans made and realized I dont really have as much time as these would take. I said i had two weeks and i was naming like 5 cities and Bettinga kept saying christy you only have two weeks. Then I realized that i only have a little over one week. This is getting more difficult but also easier b/c i wont have to travel so much on my own. I think i'll end up in italy for some of it so i can see friend and do something with them. My origninal goal for the year was to get to two new countries. However, I may only hit one. I am kinda bummed about that, we will see how my end travel plans end up. I also think to discover a new country (for me) it is easier and more interesting to do it with someone else. For that reason I dont think i'm that upset.

I booked a trip to Bodrum for May 1st, A beautiful beach town where it seems most of turkey spends their summer. I have a travel buddy! Kim who has the same days off as me and I are going together. I'm pretty excited for some beach laying.

Aside from travel plans, I'm looking forward to going home. From today I have two months left on my contract (the 21 and 22 are my days off so i think i'll be done with my contract early) That is pretty exciting. I subbed for a class yesterday and when I was talking with them, they stopped and said "Christy we enjoy you here b/c you speak very clearly and slowing." then they proceeded to thank me profusing for coming in. that was really nice, I will miss that about turkish students. I enjoyed going into that class to see how other teachers do things. I got some new ideas, and i was very jealous b/c it seems like her class is more well behaved, something I'm trying to work on for my classes. I dont understand why all of my classes, speak loads of turkish in class, and other teachers seem to not have a problem with it. That is my only frustration with my classes right now.
