please please please do!!
come come come!
really! my exams finish around june 17th or something... come any time after june 20th... and try to come for as long as you possibly can...
and definitely talk to your turkish teacher about getting transferred for a year... to learn turkish... i'm sure he can help you out in some way... so that you can stay here for a whole year or something...
an/or come and start at my school... i am so deadly serious you'll do wonderful... go into the fashion and textiles... i swear you will do better than anyone here, there really isn't much of an art circle here, anything you do is going to be top-notch... you can study painting! i swear the tuition is a couple of hundred dollars (i'm serious)... and there is none of the crazy, soul-killing race for perfection and/or race to get above someoene... you wouldn't be coming for the education anyhow, you'll be here for self-discovery, for the mediterannean sea, for the turkish breakfast!!
but of course, all of this is very serious and you have to think about it a lot... i can assure you you will have all my support if you do decide to come here (i'm in izmir, by the way) and...
one thing i can promise: solitude and quietness... hehehe, i don't now... sometimes, silence can be louder than hell but...
and really, living in a foreign country is hard... it is lonely and alienating experience...
but all for the best, i've never regretted...
and...
i gotta say this... maybe i'm doing this for myself... because having you here would be wonderful for me... but i have to think about you too hehehe, just give it a serious thought... talk to ur turkish teacher...
and get back to me on this...
I wanna go so bad! I'm afraid, not of the foreignness or the silence actually, but of what I'm going to do there. I feel like school has failed me, or we're just not meant to go easily together. But yet, I feel like that's a wonderful suggestion, to go to school in Turkey. I could also get a job, or do volunteer work (first I should find a charity organization and figure dat out). I just really want to be somewhere that sounds as warm as Turkiye (and especially Izmir!) in both its people and atmosphere. Is school difficult? I guess if I went to art school it might not be so demanding/boring *wink*
YanıtlaSilthe school is definitely no demanding!!!
YanıtlaSillisa, the education here at my school is at a high school level... i'm not saying this to demean my school or anything, it's the reality.
and the teachers, they're not demanding, they will absolutely love you! they love slanted eyes and everything asian! hehehehe
i really wish you'd enroll into the painting department, you'd rule!
as far as learning goes, it's as easy as 1 2 3 here, so don't worry about that. the only thing you should worry about is how to get your viza and how long you can stay and how much that will cost. if you're a student then the viza will be no problem... but if you come on your own then every month you will have to renew your viza and that will be a lot of money...
talk to bulent bey as i said...
