Tomorrow I am going in for a job interview. It’s teaching English at a language school here in Istanbul. I’m not super excited about it, but the benefits of working part-time would be numerous. Financially I wouldn’t be making enough money to survive, but it would be a start and it would allow me to investigate other revenue streams without needing to be making all of my money from a different source. It would also get me some experience teaching adults (which I might actually like) and I’d learn how to teach more difficult grammar points that I wasn’t teaching in China. Because of these reasons I’m willing to entertain the prospect of another teaching job.

I went to Agva today. It was a long bus ride, but hanging out by the Black Sea and swimming was really great. I enjoyed it a lot. On the way back I got this idea that maybe I should just go for broke. I could fly to Nepal or India and stay near a temple where I could hopefully meditate and practice yoga and pranayama as well as draw and write. I like to think if I really set a schedule and tried to stick to the schedule I could then focus more on producing things. It’s not a great idea at all, but taking 6 months to just focus on producing art and working on some writing would be pretty awesome. If I was actually able to stick to the schedule. I’m not certain I’d be able to actually do that, though. It was just a thought. I’d like to figure out staying here, but as a last case scenario I could try something like that. I’m not sure Nepal would really be the place to go, but being somewhere less expensive would be helpful if I’m actually going to try that. I suppose I could try to hang out in Panama for a while or something. There are options, anyway. I need to keep that in mind.

I’m exhausted right now. I’ve been waiting for my laundry to finish washing so that I can hang it and go to bed.
