Really back in America

I don't know how, but I've somehow managed to imagine that I could be here and there at the same time. That life in Turkey wasn't so far away and that jumping on a plane wasn't such an impossibility.

But, now, with just two weeks left of my undergraduate career, I have to face the facts. I still have a lot to do - finish the movie, make my presentations (any east coast teachers interested?!), and find a job. I've got a summer thing lined up, but after October, I'll need something "real."

I'd love to go back to Turkey. Everyone is asking when I will return, but it's undetermined. I have no timeline. Right now, I am focusing on the movie and finishing up the requirements for both my scholarship and my degree. Neither of which is easy. Sometime in May, I will finally be able to sit down and look at my life and say "This is what I'm going to do." Now, it's just "what will happen this week."

I should be stressed. I should be sleepless. In fact, I have never felt so relaxed.

What will come next? I don't know, but I am sure it will be interesting.
