Well after being back from an incredibly jam packed weekend it was a little unfortunate to come back and see that none of my blog posts actually posted...boo! Oh well they're up now, so you get a three for one today! How exciting. I should warn you I'm completely exhausted. I drove back from Katy, Tx today at 7 just so I could back to College Station in time for my class woo. It was well worth it though. I got my fill of too many fried sweets, witnessed in person two of my favorite bands performing, and hung out with some of my very favorite people! It was a much needed and exciting weekend for sure but now I need to calm down and take on this week head on. For I have a test this week and I would really like to get an A on that. So fingers crossed!
Memory #56
So today in my English class my professor was basically going over everything that would be on the test this Wednesday. We've been covering literacy works such as the Odyssey and The Aeneid which if you're not familiar with happen (a really really really long time ago) and around the north Africa, Italy, and Turkey area. (I'm sorry if that doesn't give you much of a visual) Anyways out of the blue my professor starts talking about Istanbul and he asked to following question, "What was Istanbul called before it was 'captured'" And I knew the answer. Why did I know the answer? Because my mom had a weird choice in music. Still not clear? Watch this video.
My mom loved this song. As soon as she bought it she put it on a playlist and shared it with me. So I now will always know that Istanbul was once Constantinople.
Love Always,
Erin
I know that song! and love it, too! So, I'm sure knowing that about Istanbul/Constantinople will give you a head start on that "A" on the test. Once again, your blogs have brought a smile to my face and a joy to my heart. Love you!
