a delicious night.

so i have nothing else to write. let me think for a minute. oh yes.. so i planned a couple trips with salaha. going to antalya again to enjoy the beach oh yesss... and i got an insane deal on a 200 lira bikini for 29 lira. it is too cute, black and white and beige. very spicy. i also, got my ijaza ceremony outfit - has been an absolute chore... i was looking all over asia and europe for something and couldn't decide.... yall know im cok titiz. and then... i also FINALLY booked a trip to konya. like im seriously doing all the touristy stuff now, after 3 years. i went into aya sophia for the first time the other day even though i pass by there for class all the time. still have to go to topkapi. it is lale zaman right now in istanbul, so planning on checking out emirgan tomorrow before it is too late. zeliha told me there is a tasty buffet there which i fully intend to check out... and it will probably hold more importance for me than the lalez... :)

i guess all in all... im looking forward to starting up grad school and being back in america. like i just cannot wait. my heart is yearning for america. i think i have had my fill of living overseas for awhile. i mean traveling yes i enjoy... will do a lot of it inshAllah. but yeah, overseas to live. enough. im ready for familiarity, stability, and constancy back home inshAllah. that is the nourishment that my soul is craving right now. also, i have a strange feeling i might become famous at some point. so i have to make all my friends before that happens :)

oh my GOD. oh yes. i also had to say i have to go to pakistan in june for motu's rukhsati and valima stuff. pakistan. in. the. summer. load. shedding. yikes. i imagine i will be fainted laying on the floor in a puddle of my own sweat for the first couple of days. Allah help me.

so yeah. im out of things to say. Alhumdulilah for everything. and here is a picture of the cool purple turkish tea cup my apartment mates got me. bless yall hulya and zeliha.
