Another week, another opportunity for me to say "not very much to update you all with." So it goes.
I really don't have much to say. I'm really stressed because the impending reality of having to write 40 pages in a little over a month, and an upcoming interview with a filmmaker I really respect is weighing on me a little much!
But on the plus side, my family is coming to visit next week! I found out it's not really feasible for me to go home for Thanksgiving last week and I was feeling pretty down about it, because I've never missed Thanksgiving before and to be honest I've been pretty homesick. I was surprised when my family told me they would be coming, especially since my family doesn't really travel. I feel bad that they're coming all this way and spending money to come down here, but I'll be really grateful to see them again, and I hope I'll be able to update you all with more information about that next Monday!
Also today I booked my plane tickets for Korea so...I guess this is really happening, huh? I'm super nerve-wracked thinking about it but no turning back now I guess!
Anyway, this weekend was a long weekend but I didn't really do anything hehe. I went to go see this Turkish film about the tourism industry at Gallipoli yesterday. I didn't know anything about Gallipoli to be honest, other than that there was a battle there in World War I or something, so I ended up learning a lot. Also recently Turkey keeps popping up in my life for some reason, so I wanted to learn more about Turkey. The movie was at this Turkish film festival, and I was going to stay for the other two movies after but I had a headache so I ended up going home.
Well, let's not slack this week, friends. The grind waits for no one.
I've been listening to a lot of Prince and Billy Joel these past couple weeks so if you're looking to feel a little nostalgic:
40 pages?!? I’ve never written anything so long :-0 That’s so nice that your family could come. And Korea!!!! It’s an odd thing for turkey to keep popping up but I suppose it happens sooner or later in any girls life I’ll listen to those songs!
interesting video my dude
That’s exciting that your fam is coming! Also you were raised on Prince?!!
