today when i got to work the turkish consulate and the speaker of the turkish parliament were taking a tour. there were secret service guys all over the place. it was really really funny. the boy who sits at the info desk and i were laughing about it.

i am doing the most ludicrous things to distract myself from the thought of finals. i am having a really hard time coming up with a topic for this class where i'm kind of out of my depth. one other final is a shoo-in (regurgitate, just have to wait to get the topic...) and the other is a weekly paper and no final.

frank might come here this summer. then again, he said that last summer... and i have gotten a couple other invitations from friends... so i need to figure out what the hell i'm doing.

i might get a job transcribing interviews.
