I'm is grown. sort of.

Thought it would be fitting and super dorky to announce my move to Turkey on Thanksgiving! Leaving this Saturday! I am inshAllah going there for the next 8 months to continue with my art stuff, until the Fall 2011 semester kicks in. Feeling super nervous, anxious, scared, and excited all at the same time.

Gotta look for apartments and jobs, aiming for the Asian side of Istanbul, probably in Kadikoy or Uskudar, because Ayten Hoca's studio is in Umraniye.

But here goes a funny story... I was showing Kirby and Hafeez a huge map of Istanbul and pointing out all the districts and what not to them, and I exclaimed 'Oh my gosh! When I grow up I really want to live here for some time!' and then Kirby started laughing and I realized that that was exactly what was going on now. whoa. cardiac arrest!

Okay gonna go see what is going on with the dinosaur of a Turkey bird downstairs. yummyummyummy! :) Alhumdulilah rabil alameen!
