Soooo many great things happened in the last 10 days.
1) I went to Arizona: Such a trip! So intense! Amazingly weird place! I had my first Ice-Skating experience ever. I never fell off! After two hours I was perfectly able to skate smoothly! Great success!!
2) I went to Washington DC: I gave a presentation at the IMF building for the World Bank people. Such a stress and experience! I stayed in a very nice Hotel and explored DC. Beautiful city. I spent hours in the Smithsonian museum. I sang country songs with random people in a Karoeke bar! Great place! I even liked it somehow more than our own old and filthy New York.
3) Beduk came here yay!, and stayed a few days. We went to New York, we went to hiking, we went to shopping... we ate a lot! We talked a lot! It was great and he just left!
4) I solved my contract and job issues temporarily (may be for a year at least) . I had a three hours meeting with the boss. It went great!
Conclusion: It seems like 30's are not bad at all!
Weeelll, not everything is that rosy! I just discovered that I am officially "deserted from the military service" and while I am typing these lines, I am also typing my defense in the other tab! (no, I don't want to get arrested in the Istanbul Airport and spend the night in the " karakol"!)
Updated conclusion: Wait and see! You have seen nothing yet!
