| The goddess Frigg, curser of unfavorable language test results |
Well, in a fit of impatience I called tamale Walton today and found out that, unfortunately, I did not pass my Turkish language exam. I get to try again in 6 months, which is precisely what I will do.
When I started this whole thing, I was convinced that, with enough time and enough attention to detail, I could teach myself Turkish in the relative comfort and thrift of my own home. Looks like I will have to amend my timeline and/or my notions of whether or not I require immersion classes. Probably both.
So it goes. Setbacks or no, I'm in this thing to win it.

Sorry to hear that.
Bummer, dude, but at least you get to enjoy one more summer there, eh? That is unless you pack up and squat down in the Turkish dirt for a few months. Is there a Turkish expat community you can move in with locally? Regardless, good luck. I've got faith in you.
I just found out I failed the Mandarin test as well even though I grew up speaking the language and lived in China, so I feel your pain. Good luck with your next try. It's an emotional roller coaster, but well worth it. Now if only my PN's can get me to OA. Thank you for sharing your experience, your blog is a delight to read!
