A Quick Announcement From A Very Excited Exchange Student

By HALEY DROZDOWICZ Sunday, April 1, 2012 - 4:27 p.m.

If you are not following me on Facebook (or cannot do so) I would like to update you all on a very exciting event that has occurred in my life here in Turkey. I was given the chance to compete in a music competition with some other students from my school here a few weeks ago. Recently, we have been given the news that out of the 63 school that competed from my city, 7 of them will advance to the finals in Istanbul on April 14th. And guess what? We're one of them!! I am overjoyed to have this opportunity while on my exchange here in Turkey, and that's why I'm sharing it with all of you! This is a picture of the arena I sang in for the first level of the competition here in Izmir, quite the crowd!

So here it is!

So far, it is the most viewed video out of all the competition clips, over 5,000 views so far! Personally, I think it might have something to do with the international fan base that I've got going on. hahaha.

Anyways, I hope you all enjoy it!! I'll be sure to send news after the finals to let you all know how it went!

And a Happy Early Easter to you all as well!!
