Welcome to Ankara, where everyone wants to learn english...except for the students.

Ahh ....another painfully boring day at TOBB university in Ankara. Let me recap today's thrilling events for you!!!!

8:10- wake up
8:30-get to my office
8:30-10:30- check e-mail and facebook enthusiastically
10:30- record an exam
10:45-12:35- Facebook and farmville- less enthusiastically
12:35- teach a class on fate and destiny to students who would rather talk about anything other than fate and destiny
1:35-2:35- lunch and gossip with friends
2:35-4:45- painstakingly check email, facebook and farmville- and read about the weirdest things ever on the internet.
4:45- Set up a private teaching lesson for the cleaning ladies because they are the only people willing to learn the language
5:45-6:00 email and facebook
6:00 go home.


Today, I spent a good amount of time during my 2:35 block watching videos of Venus Fly Traps eat various insects.
