Life in Afyon became a bit more exciting for me last week: I started taking Turkish folk dancing classes. From 7-9 on Mondays and Wednesdays, I learn dances from the Afyon region and from 5-7 on Wednesdays and Sundays, I learn dances from the Karadeniz (Black Sea) region and from the eastern part of Turkey. It is so much fun. The place where the dance classes are held is just down the street from me (it takes me 3 minutes to walk there) which is an added bonus.
I also joined my school's Girl Scout/Boy Scout troupe, which gives me another thing to do twice a week after school. I don't really understand the meetings right now, but hopefully that will change soon.

Last week, I had my Deutsch/Almanca/German exam. All the questions were in German and I did really well on it. In fact, I ended up getting the highest grade in the class, which is something that I am very happy about. I am the complete opposite of the other students in my class. I enjoy languages and history, which they hate, and they are good at math and science, which have never been my favorite.

I am going to Ankara tomorrow for an Exchange Student Hanukkah/Christmas/insert-holiday-here party which should be really fun.

Happy Friday and happy last night of Hanukkah to all my Jewish readers!
