back to school...

Iyi aksamlar everybody!

This is my third blog. I should be writing one each day, since I keep on forgetting to much. There is so much I want to remember, since I encounter a lot of new things.

Well, Friday we were at a meeting, which AIESEC Gaziantep organized to introduce the organization, its "meet my friend project" and its interns to school principales etc. We dressed up all fancy and stuff... Yeah, it was over pretty fast. Saturday we had a MMF (Meet My Friend) congress or workshop. The AIESEC members informed us about our schedule for the next 7 or 8 weeks. We had a chance to introduce ourselves to the other interns and other AIESEC members. It was pretty nice. They were dancing a lot and we had lots of funny activities and games. One for example was a kind of rating list they hung on the bathroom doors, so the girls can rate the boys and vise versa. Criterias were e.g. most hungry, most dancer, most sexy, most sleepy... well... i got most sleepy, since i was feeling pretty sick that morning.... but come on!! the most hyper girl of all gets the "most sleepy" rating... i should have gotten most hungry forsure! LOL Açım!!!

Well, sunday I was just preparing my presentation until Monday morning. I slept 2 hours and got up at 6 am again to go to school. The first school day was pretty confusing. I am with Marianna (from Slovakia) in a group. Which means both of us are going to the schools together the next weeks. Aaaalways telling the same things to the students.. where are we from, what we do, what we like etc etc etc... unfortunately, the presentation was not on monday. We will present our countries and cultures on Thursday instead. We met a lot of interesting and curious students. They are really funny and openminded. I was lucky to meet Sevgi, a woman from Turkey, but living in Germany for 16 years. She is working there as a German teacher and is a really interesting and nice person. She will actually help with my Turkish and teach me after school for free! She did NOT want to take any money. I am really happy about this and can't wait to start studying with her.

Next days we will be staying in that same school. Tomorrow hopefully attending a folk dance class!!! this is going to be great. we already made some friends there, which is awesome!

that's it for now. the school has a lot of rules. on the one hand we are treated as teachers. we even have the keys to the english teachers room, but we are not allowed to leave the school by ourselves. kind of like a prison there. but we can eat for free, drink tea for free and get a shuttle bus to and from school directly to our house. well... i will continue telling more on friday i guess....

iyi geceler!
