If I’m in bed within the next 20 minutes it’ll be the first time I’ve been in bed before midnight for weeks. Weeks and weeks! I’m excited to get more sleep tonight. I’ve been going to bed late – 2-3 am. A few nights this week have gotten even later than that. I’d really like to be on a more normal sleep schedule again.

I had a really fun day today with Yv. We wandered around a neighborhood called Aksaray today and then went to the Grand Bazaar and the Spice Market. It’s difficult to think that I won’t be able to do those things again because I’m leaving seen. She’s great company. I’m not sure I would make it there on my own before leaving so I’m glad that she wanted to go. It’s way more fun to do things with someone else.

I’m going to really miss this city. Of course there are things that I won’t miss, but there are so many things that I will miss. It’s such a beautiful city and there are attractive men all around. I’m excited and looking forward to Nepal, but that’s going to be a much different experience from this. I’m also excited and ready to go home.

I’ve got a couple other things on my mind to pursue going forward. I really have no desire to get another stodgy finance job. I think I’ll apply for the Peace Corps and see about that. I’d also like to look further into studying something in India. I think Eastern Philosophy would be a great thing to study, but there are many other things I might decide I want to learn more about. I’ve got a shitload of interests. I definitely plan to take a look and see. Studying in India could be really awesome. Plus, it would be inexpensive and quite an adventure. I really like this idea!
