Turkey!

I had the most amazing trip in Turkey. Sorry I didn't blog about it sooner. I've included many photos in this post, all of which are mine by copyright. So please don't steal them. 

Anyways, Turkey is the land of eating olives for breakfast. No, okay, it's also full of wonderful people, a very interesting culture, and many historical sites. Did you know Troy was in Turkey? The Akropolis? Not many people do, since we see them as "Greek" sites. 

I made an awesome group of friends on the trip who I won't forget any time soon. I don't have permission to post their photos here, but they were honestly the most wonderful people to spend time with. I already miss the poker and Go-Fish. 

Without further ado....

Quick Update

Whoops, it's been a while again! I've been super busy getting ready for Interim semester and getting back into dance.

I've also concluded I'm really tired of being a senior in high school. Actually, I'm just tired of the entire institution of it. Especially sharing the bus with the middle schoolers. I've never really thought about it before, but they are incredibly tiny compared in eighteen-year-olds. The whole "social-group" thing is annoying too. I don't understand why we can't all just shut up and be polite to each other instead of analysing every little social interaction.

Tomorrow is also my school's "Valentine's Day" due to Interim Semester, which means many girls carrying roses and many more girls crying in bathrooms. It will also be my first Valentine's Day without my boyfriend in two years. So that's kind of crazy to think about.


At least I'm going to TURKEY tomorrow night! Probably the coolest country ever with one of the richest histories and cultures in the world...
