no harm done.
People, I am in a foreign country taking classes, and I update more than you!
Honestly!
Today I finished the journal I began at the very start of the trip. I am sitting here in the Knowledge Center with a bar of Toblerone.
One thing I need to say about Turkey is that they are not uptight people. They also don't really follow any rules.
For example, we went to a mosque one day (by now I think, 'Mosque, DULL') and after we finished the visit, putting our shoes back on, we saw a sign that said, 'Sitting on the steps is strictly forbidden.' Naturally, about fifty people were sitting on the steps. And the sign was in English and Turkish.
It's very freeing to be in a place where people are just over being so (BU-REA)ucratic and paper-oriented in everything they do, and so they just stopped.
We in the U.S. have yet to reach this awesome state of existence. If the people were just like, 'F thıs W2 form,' it would be effed!
Honestly.
Okay, well so much more to tell you all. Or most of you.
The End

There once was a fellow named David.
Who had a thing for reading Ovid.
He found out to write
Meant to beat and to bite
And developed an art sense quite morbid.
(ha ha, no sense = nonsense) also can we have an excerpt of your journal please?
I don't understand. Ovid? Nay.
We read like Pamuk and Rushdie and Hikmet. You know. The classics nobody has heard of.
Or perhaps they have...? *Mystically spoken*
Okay well sweet that you wrote a little limerick. If I recall correctly.
OMG PAMUK!!
Orhan Pamuk won the Nobel Prıze for lıterature... and we found hıs house and saw hım, and he waved at us! It was really cool.
David, I haven't been writing anything because I'm not really doing anything this summer. I mean, I've been having a great time with my family, but a vast majority of anything I'd have to say would involve my niece or an ongoing battle between my sister and me calling each other ugly, and I think people would tire of that. I fly to Boston tomorrow for my Oxfam jazz, so hopefully I'll have fun things to write about that.
I'm in the Chicago area with a friend this week, so maybe I'll write a short something about that laters.
Good, CG, I will look forward to your future contribution.
As it is, İ suppose Lıbby and I wıll have to just maıntaın the hefty burden of thıs blog untıl then.
