I have had a busy, full day. I taught this morning and then finally made it to the Istanbul Modern to watch a film. I’ve been meaning to go for a while now. It was fun.

I’m very tired because I was up late last night. I’m about ready for bed now and am looking forward to getting a better night’s sleep tonight. I’ve got one class in the morning and then 3 speaking clubs in the afternoon. I’m not really sure what I’ll do for the speaking club, but hopefully it’s fun. I like the speaking clubs. Last week went well, but I don’t think I want to play the same warmer game I played with them last week.

I’m going to accept this 9 month contract to teach for a school here in Istanbul. I’m excited and I think it’ll be good. If nothing else, it’s only 9 months. I don’t have anything else planned or lined up so if I decided not to take it or go back to the US I don’t have a clue what I’d do. I’m excited to commit to staying here for a while. Soon I plan to start looking for different accommodations. This place has worked well, but it doesn’t quite feel like home. Maybe that will change.

All in all today was a good day. I’m exhausted because I didn’t get much sleep last night and successfully avoided taking a nap. My bed is calling.
