Siren: Yeah, that's how it is for me, erm, or was for me too rather. You know, I had a car and lived in the middle of the Western Pennsylvanian boonies -- I could just drive like really fast to work and not have to worry about any other cars really (just cute little rodent-type things like chipmunks and such). Since I have no car in Turkey and cant drive a stick (thats all they use here -- the automatic transmission is RARE here), I've been having to walk lately. But, you know, with the progression in my Turkish, Ive been able to learn how to get taxis. So, yeah, my excuse is now "trafik kötü dü (Traffic was bad), instead of (what should really be) "sometimes, I can be a lazy piece of shit.". I was doing so GOOD with the not being late thing... My new goal for next week is to NOT be late at all. Thanks for the inspiration! :)
analog sky: yeah, tomorrow is "My cat is fat day" for my elementary English students. Yani ("like" in Turkish -- god my brain is warped, I didnt delete it just because... Im now a Turko-American gah!) "'This is Captain Spanky my cat. Spanky is very fat. He sat on my yoga mat. I didn't like that...' Ok -- which words in this sentence RHYME?" I would LOVE to find a copy of School House Rock on VCD. That would so freaking ROCK -- or VHS whatever. But yeah, impossible in Turkey. And I cant order it, my credit card has been maxed (on accident... another long story. Turkey has this stupid thing called "taksit" to ruin every foreigner's credit history... sorry Im bitter -- ANYWAYS). It's definately a rite of passage -- I agree.
SubSonik: :) I like Winston Churchill :) |
