blank screen

sorry about no posts yesterday. The internet at the apartment is nothing short of ridiculous. Its one modem, with at least 15 computers on it (not including whoever else is on it within range cause it is unsecured, of course). At any given point, there are a lot of people downloading TV shows, movies, even entire seasons of TV shows. Will all that added up, it equals this: inability for mine (or anyone elses) to send emails, inability to talk on skype...and dont even try to video chat, going to a web page means sitting and staring at a white screen for 5-10 minutes, inability to upload any pictures or videos, and obviously no blog posting. 

the only reason I can do this is because I woke up an hour before anyone else. Even still, it is painfully slow. And, in fine Turkish style, the internet doesnt work in studio. We have to go upstairs and sit in the cafe if we want to use the internet. So, communication is tough for me with everyone, and I apologize for that.

On thursday morning I am flying to Mardin, Turkey for my studio project...I hardly know where it is, so I dont expect anyone else to...so here is a map of turkey:
Photobucket
Istanbul is circled in blue, Mardin is circled in red....and yes, that is Batman in green

Mardin is about 800 miles from Istanbul, and Istanbul is about 5800 miles from Auburn/Daytona. So, that will put me around 6,600 miles from home. I know my grandpa travelled with the military when he was younger, but I dont know how far he went. I know he was in Germany. But anyways, what I'm getting at is that I may possibly be the farthest away from Tennessee a Pryor has ever been! Correct me if I am wrong though, fellow meaticons.

Well, it is still raining here. Bout three weeks straight. There was standing snow yesterday at the gym, but I didnt actually see it snow. Yup...ready for the warm weather. Ok, well I'm off to class! see ya
