celebrate independance

Happy 230th birthday USA! Yesterday was Independance day...one of my favorite holidays. and i must admit, yesterday was probably my favorite of all 4th of July celebrations I have had. It was a very relaxing day. I basically sucked it up at phase 10, but it was fun, nonetheless. I spent the day with some great people in a beautiful place. This is where we watched the fireworks. Needless to say, we had a fantastic view. That's Big Bear Lake for all of you non-so cal kids. Plus I got to be with some of my besties. This is me with my girls Sarah and Lindsey. I missed their beautiful faces, both of which have been to the Istanbul. It was really nice to share stories and talk about familiar loved places with them. *BESIKTAS!!*

Possibly one of the most eventful parts of the evening, other than getting my butt kicked in phase 10, was when Sarah decided to stand on the cooler and be the Statue of Liberty while the rest of us (about 30) decided to sing a patriotic medley at the top of our voices. It was quite humerous, I'm not gonna lie. All in all, a very good day. Only thing that would have made it perfect...DONDURMA....actually, there were a couple of other things too i suppose, but good day still. This is me procrastinating on filling out applications. I hate applications. I hate answering stupid questions. I hate being bored. I get to go try on my bridesmaid dress for janelle's wedding now. She gets married this saturday...out of control. and thus begins the weekends of weddings...for some reason, going to weddings always makes me not want to get married...aren't they supposed to do the opposite?!? Ok, well, back to procrastinating in some other way. Peace out.

So, since I have made so many friends from different parts of the world, I thought I would write a little blog about my daily life...kinda. Actually, I thought I would just put up a few pics about my surroundings. The first is my school. The second, my favorite part of campus and the third picture is Petunia, my car. This is me missing Northern California...kinda wishing I was going home sooner. Kinda wish I were back in Istanbul. Kinda don't know what I want.
