it snowed again today


This is me getting ready to head into the snow.

This is the fourth straight day that it has snowed here. Granted, it hasnt been continuous, but still. Thats a lot of snow, and a lot of disgusting brown slush/mush that I have to walk through :(

I did my federal taxes the other day and found out I get a refund this year! Not much, but so much better than the 900 dollars I had to pay last year. Hopefully I will be as lucky with the state.

My one class at ODTÜ starts tomorrow morning. I am not too excited about heading there at 830 in the cold cold morning just so I can trudge across the enormous campus in the snow. I'll take pictures so you can get a little bit of an idea.

I got my exam back today for the last elementary Turkish class (took it last friday). I got a 95. Dont be too excited, the class isnt that academic and I got to use a dictionary on the exam. But I think my grade was the best in the class. Today in class we played Taboo. I went first and got the word "deprem," which means earthquake. I didnt know the words I was not allowed to say so it was easy not to say them. Anyways, I said "dunya dans ediyor," which means "the world is dancing." No one understood me but the teacher. Finally, after time was up, I said it in English and the whole class said "OOOOOOOOOOHH!" ..... But they knew the Turkish words, so I dont understand why they got it when I said what they were already saying in their heads. Whatever. The teacher thought it was a good way to explain it.

Almost sleepy time.
