Weekly Schedual
Alright so firstly i will talk about my daily schedual from weekday and sat and sundays.
Mondays--- Wake up around 6:30 or 7:00 get ready for school and leave for the bus stop at around 7:15. At about 7:20 we get on the bus which takes us to school. School is from 8:00 till 1:00 or sometimes 1:30. After school we take the bus back home. ( we is agar, lorenzo (good friend) and me.)) We arive home at around 2:00. At home I eat lunch until about 2:30. After lunch Agar goes and studies for the rest of the day, and i usually get on computer watch some tv go have a walk or go to the gym. I sleep around 11:00 and the same thing the next morning.
Tuesdays--- same thing but i go to basketball practice for pretty much just speed training because I am not good at playing basketball. Basketball practice is at 9:30 untill 11:00 and its in another town far away.
Wednesday--- Just school
Thrusday--- School then i have italian course at around 3:30 until 5:30 then i go home and i have basketball on thursdays as well.
Friday--- Just school again
Saturday--- Just school again...
Sunday--- ( The most fun day there is ) i usually wake up late for some reason probibly because i am tired from the monday thru saturday time. Usually i wake up around noon and get ready for lunch. Sunday dinners are almost always big with other family members and it also lasts a very long time about 2 to 5 hours. One time we ate for 6 hours at lunch ofcourse we skipped dinner for that night.
That is pretty much my schedual weekly.
Im begging to get really bored Ive been trying to find things to do but there is not much the only thing is basket and its only 4 hours a week and very late at night.... Please leave comments for ideas or things to do. Thanks for reading i will post in 2 weeks if there is anything interesting going on. Ciao. Next time i might try to write in Italian to get a little better.

First Month
Hey guys sorry i wasnt on for a long time, i was being lazy and kinda had lots of things to do. So first i will talk about the trip here, then the first couple of weeks and the fun stuff i did.
First of that the trip was pretty awesome this is how it went down, i left phoenix and arrived in New York, my first time there i waited a couple hours in the airport with some people i met that were also with afs, after that we went to two tree hotel if i remember the name right. then in there we had about 1 hour to put our things away and started the orientation where i learned somethings and met some pretty cool people. after this day was over we got i think 1 or 2 more hours to socialize and hang out so we a lot of us packed into one hotel room and talked i think about 20 people in 1 little room it was pretty fun. In the morning there was breakfeast then we left right away to the airport for our veeerrrrrrryyyyy long flight to Zurich. after we reached Zurich we waited about 2 hours and went to our other flight to ROMMMEEEE!!!!
In Rome we went to a hotel with 550 other students that came to italy for the exchange program, and here a met A LOTTT of people too many to remember names, hahaha. And here we went to a lot more orientations, for 3 days. On the last day of this camp everyone got on their different buses and went to there homes and this is where everyone met their familys.
Tomorow i am leaving to a camp for AFS down very south of Puglia near the mediterian. I will write on the blog next week end when i come back from the camp, it if 4 days long

AFS Italy
Hi, my name is Berke, and I have been given a great opportunity to go abroad with AFS. I live in Phoenix, AZ and go to high school at Shadow Mountain High School. My mom got be me in to this great program and now I love it. I want to go with AFS because I know it's going to be a great experience, and my favorite part is going to be learning a new language. I already know Turkish, English, and a little bit of French and would love to learn another language. In return when i come back i was thinking about hosting or coming back and volunteering my time with AFS to talk about past experiences with the program.
My family and family friends are saying it will be a great experience and will be really fun' also that I am really lucky. Some of my friends are sad that I am leaving and don't want me to leave. Also my football coaches are too.
I don't think i have had any challenges yet but one and I think that the rest will come later when I'm abroad. that one challenge that i came over was accepting that this is going to happen and it is a reality. I was thinking my mom was joking when she said things like this for a couple months. Also at first I didn't think it was going to be any fun or any type of experience. Then it hit me that this is really going to happen.
So far I have asked friends family, and family friends for money. I have also applied for some scholarships. This summer I am trying to find a job to also help pay for this oppurtunity.
Thanks for Reading my blog, I will try to update it every couple weeks. :)!
