Re: Life (FF)

Don't get too upset.  Because nothing is really happening.  So now I will write about that nothing, in bullet-point form, because I'm that lazy.

Here are some things that happened since our move a few weeks ago.  Don't get too excited, because if this were a conversation instead of a blog post, I'd be delivering in a deadpan monotone.

Chef Erik, the Turkey, and pumpkin pie

• Had a Thanksgiving ETA get-together in Afyon, hosted by some great folks who even provided turkey, cranberry sauce, and stuffing.  YUM. (actually this was really fun and blogworthy)
• Watched Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and tried not to cry
• Hosted some ETAs in Konya in our new apartment, saw the Sema again, and visited some museums here (also again).  But was still nice to have some friends come visit!
• Listened to my students role play about what they'd do with $100,000-- apparently our speaking classes also reinforce the joys of capitalism and consumerism #anatoliantiger
• Had approximately 5 hours of Montana classes 
• Confused the heck out of my Advanced reading class with some WEB DuBois and Mary Louise Pratt-- midterms are Thursday, but I am hopeful they'll keep up their good work.
• Helped a colleague administer her "oral communication" exams in the lit department (heard a wicked Bronx accent from a student)

So this weekend I'm headed to Istanbul for a frisbee mixed-team hat tournament, which I am really excited about.  Looking forward to doing something active and seeing some of my friends too.  Also gearing up for a trip to visit some ETAs in Muğla next weekend and a trip back to Istanbul for New Years.

Ok that's all I got for ya.
