work
meetings
people
trips to get water or chai (tea)
constructing a syllabus that is more internally consistent than it needs to be and that will change immediately upon the beginning of classes
distractions
realizing this is the most time Jena and I have spent apart for the last two or three months
trips to the bathroom
trying to remember everyone's names
getting computer errors in Turkish
learning about my "committee"--materials development and curriculum design
feeling competent thanks to four years of graduate education
finding out how to use the bus website
going on a "tour," which was really an excuse to buy plants, a toaster, bread, and salt and pepper shakers
discussing D. H. Lawrence with a Brit
asking Jena how her day was
easily being tired at night
