Second Week of Sophomore Year

Looks like I won't be blogging too often.
I mean, the first day of school I got 79 questions of homework for Spanish, and I get math homework everyday sooooo....
I don't know why but I haven't written anything lately either.
Starting from tomorrow I'm going to force myself to write at least one page everyday. But the thing is, when I get home and finish my homework I'm too drained to concentrate on anything else!! I will try though.
Last weekend I went to Istanbul. I got to see my childhood best friend, Pelin, and my cousin. It was really fun!
My real purpose for being there was the Red Hot Chilli Peppers concert. Apparently they came with 20 giant trucks to set up the stage.
Well the gates opened at 4 but we went there at 6:30, and we still waited an hour for the first band to come out. It was Athena, and this Turkish rock band has been my favorite Turkish group ever since... I don't know, their first CD? I remember listening to their CD when I was really small. But I hadn't listened to any of their newer songs, so I had no idea what was happening, but it was still very cool.
We were in the category of the audience 2nd closest to the stage, and right in the front of it too.
After Athena we sat and waited for another hour and a half, when after a lot of cheering, finally the lights on the stage were turned off. The from the darkness, emerged the sound of drums. Then the guitar—Josh was wearing a t-shirt with the Turkish flag on it—and then Flea the epic bassist and finally Anthony.
And then they played songs for 2 hours and it was just awesome.
I love concerts of bands I like.

That's all for today! I'll blog when I can!
