Finally a plan

After nine months of blowing in the wind, I finally have a stable plan. It is so difficult to concentrate on work or make time to develope yourself in areas of personal interest when your constantly trying to figure out if next month you will be in South America learning a whole new culture and a whole new life during an eight month traineeship, or if you will just take a week long vacation in Egypt so that you can be home for Christmas. Finally I feel free. Instead of always worring in the back of my mind what I will be doing next month, I can be fully engaged in my work and play. It feels wonderful.

The Plan:
I will stay in Istanbul until the middle of January. I will then travel to India for one month with Alex and then return home to Minnesota to find a real job in the middle of February.

I am really looking forward to having a more stable life and better living conditions and a higher income. I am not ,however, looking forward to the monotany of a 9 to 5 office job. I swear I will kill myself if I have to sit in front of a computer all day working on Excel.

Sefer plans to come to Minnesota in the summer for a Civil Engineering program or internship if he can find one. It is really difficult to get a visa to come but we are working on it.
