Turnaround

[morgue_n]

Turnaround seems to be the major theme of my life right now. With everything, in every aspect of life. 

Of course, there's the coup. And Parler's hacking and all. It's really fucking stupid, and you love seeing the consequences of that stuff. The no-fly list. The change of power. The entitlement crashing down. 

The news cycle made me research Q and the far right movement. This shit slipped right past me all summer because I was so into the BLM stuff. I didn't realize shit about this other half of america. it's so weird, seeing it from the outside. 

I'm reaching the end of the first semester of my teaching license. I swore that when I was done with my Master's I'd finish formally educating myself, but now I can tell that I really need to be IB certified to move up in life. 

Because I'm looking for a new job, and I think I landed one. In Istanbul, one of my favorite cities in the world. If I land it, I'll move there in like July. God, can you imagine? Hookah, cats, Mediterranean food, seagulls. Walking everywhere all the time. Art. Pfft sign me up. 

The high school I teach at is ending it's first semester right now too. Finals are this week. That means it's a time of reflection before I get those damn tests back, and they're gonna eat my life up towards the back half of this week. Starting tomorrow. But then, I have Chinese New Year break, and I'll have so much time to dive into a social life again. 

I have a list of everything I want to finish, accomplish, do, or try this break. I can't go anywhere really, so I'm going to do something different every single day, and with a different group of people. I've stayed cooped up all year. The winter depression this year was a travesty. 

Currently: 

 

• ·       Hang with Simba and watch Lord of the Rings
• ·       Hang with DeShawn and do literally anything
• ·       See an art exhibit with John
• ·       Do KTV with the whole ass crew
• ·       Buy cologne. My Armani Code is out. 
• ·       Get tooth pulled from Dr. Zoe. Oh, I need to message Dr. Zoe about that now. 
• ·       Continue my licensing program ugh
• ·       Hang with Chinese coworkers. One of them's really cute and I want to spend some time with her before I leave. 
• ·       Monster of the Week with the womenfolk

And of course, get back into writing every day.
