I had a super busy day. I got up really early to get over to the Asian side to observe a class. I then stayed over there so I could make it to the meeting. I enjoyed the day and found out a few new things. There are apartments popping up all over the city that might work and other job opportunities I didn’t realize even existed. I’m planning to start teaching at this school on the Asian side, but I’m going to tell him I can only teach on the weekend for now. I really want to take a Turkish class and ease into any teaching. I’ve also not looked at any other schools and I think that I should do that. I might find a better opportunity out there. There are a lot of red flags about this school. I think it’ll be ok, but I’m not sure. It’ll be really easy to walk away from if things don’t work out so I figure I’ll give it a try. I might end up liking it a lot, too. You never know.

I got dinner with a program person after the meeting. I enjoyed it. He’s a nice guy and it was great to make a new friend. He’s also got a lot of information about the city and is willing to give me some advice on jobs and such. I hope to hang out with him again soon.
