...no news. The thing about blogging is that it's really easy to think of excuses not to when you're not in the mood to blog. My latest excuse is that the air conditioner in the teachers' room at work is not working, and hasn't been working all summer. Because I don't have internet at home, this means that my e-mail gets neglected. That includes my blog.
The last couple of weeks have been dominated by Ertu and I's "break-up" which is in quotation marks since we were never technically "together" but we were together enough for us to "break-up" and it's taken a while to get over it. We learned a lot from each other and love each other dearly, but sometimes that's not enough, and life goes on.
Istanbul is sweltering hot right now. We've been going through cycles of hot and extremely hot, with little respite. With the aforementioned airconditioner in the teachers' room out of service, this means that I spend less time planning classes, and more time at the gym, where it's nice and cool. I can't wait till september.
My flatmate is going away on Sunday. She's visiting her family for the month of September. I will have the flat to myself. The cats will probably be neurotic at first (apparently Savas missed me a lot when I was gone, and that made Baris act crazy). Rebecca is Baris's favourite so I'll probably be stuck with 7 kilos (that's 15 lbs) of neurotic cat, and Savas (another 6 kilos) will be crazy from Baris's weird mood. Other than that, it'll be nice to have the place to myself for a change. Won't have to close the balcony door every hour when she goes to smoke.... If nothing else it'll be cooler. :o)
