Psyched about Turkey

Hey y’all,

I know what you’re thinking and no its not that kind of turkey, even though we just got back from the holidays.  I am a student majoring in Energy Engineering with a minor in Global Business Strategies at Penn State in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences. 

For the Spring 2011 semester I plan on studying overseas in Turkey just an hour or so north of Istanbul at Ko� University right off the channel that connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara.

I have been practicing my Turkish and even joined the Turkish Student Association here on campus to learn more about the culture and the things I should see and do there.  All my new friends keep telling me how much fun I’m going to have and how good the food is.  They joke and tell me I am going to have to buy up the whole row on the plane when I come back just to sit comfortably.

I am addicted to photography and have been looking up and asking about beautiful places to visit so be expected to see many photos from metropolitan and historic areas to more natural and scenic areas.

I still have a lot of work to do to prep for the trip but the closer and closer it gets to the date to begin my adventure abroad the more excited I become.
