Addendum

This is an addendum to the last blog. I got so tickled when my roommate came home the same day that I wrote my previous blog and told me this...She went to visit a friend who helps her with language and friend had a backache. She told Melissa that she had taken a hot shower that day, but that she had also felt some cold water trickle down her back while the water was heating up...no doubt the cause of her backache she explained.
Any who, culture, culture, culture! Other news...I have enrolled in driving school over here. Yes, it has been almost a year since I've driven an automobile. Public transportation, what can I say. I'm a bus riding girl. But even in America I have never driven a standard, always an automatic. But, when my parents come, I'm driving us and a Turkish friend to Kapadokya and the only company cars we have are standards. So, everyone on my team has pulled together to give me driving lessons! So far, I've had three. And Jayme even says I've graduated up to the Intermediate class which means I got to drive home from the grocery store the other day! Look out Turkey, Here I come. Seriously, I need to be the one looking out. Driving is crazy here! But one gear at a time, I'm learning. Hills...I'm going to need some practice, but driving school is in session and I've yet to stall out on the real road! Only in the parking lot once or twice...or really, who's counting?
