School itself was uneventful. I did nothing all day. As usual. Everyone thinks I should change schools. There's another Istek school near my house (that my sister goes to). My friends at school, my family, my sister's friends, even my principal (!) thinks that I should switch schools. It's crazy. But I carry a little bit of school spirit, something you don't see in Turkey. I can't just abandon my school! My friends are there, and it's my school.
But I signed up for this, so I'll stick with it.. at least for a while. I'll leave you with a photo of the "giant yellow ball" in Kadikoy.
Important exchange student note #273:
When trying to figure out where you are, always look for important landmarks.. like mysteriously suspended round yellow things that you can sort of see over the tops of those buildings over there...

This is the first time I've ever been close to it.. It is really large. It doesn't look like it from the photo, but I swear it is! I think it might be a weather balloon.. who knows?

I know it must be very hard to come to school.I don't think I would keep coming to this school if I lived in Asia. However I really do hope you stay.That way I'll see you for a little more before you go back.
BTW: Did taxi cost much?I've always wondered about that
It was 4.45 I think.
And if I keep going to that school I won't go every day. Waaaaay too much work.
Besides... my new family has a piano..!
Would you be in the same class as your host sister?
!!!!
Whatever that is, it is my new fave.
Hey Maeghan,
You post so often it is epic. Your new family sounds sweet with the swimming pool and all. But the 2 hour commute seems a bit much. Oh well keep having a great time!
And I just think that it is a secret symbol to signify an undercover UFO landing base. But that's just me. Heheheh. Woiw, it takes you 2 hours to get to school? at least you have a whole bunch of cool ways of transportation. Here it takes me roughly......2-3 minutes. ehehhehehe. A big change from Calgary, my school at home is an 1 and a half bus ride away!!!
Anyway, sounds like you are having a turk-i-ful exchange so that is awesome as always. I will post a new blog soon. I have just been really procrastinating :P
Also about the dolphins (referring to the blog above) that is really neat that they have them there!!! And I am also going to see dolphins here too!! so cool that both Turkey and Brasil have them, and so random too. Lol
Love ya toooo!!!
