Actually, I am a very busy person. I always had things to do. It’s like I have different personalities. Depends on what I am doing and how I feel as a student, a teacher, a wife, an adviser, a lawyer, a chef or a tourist. I never knew where I belonged I was born in Turkey but I grew up in Germany and now, I am a New Yorker. I even do not know which is my first language. German or Turkish? Who knows?
Since, I live here in New York it is hard for me to find some nice outfits because I wear the scarf and I need long skirts, scarf or other thinks I need. Fortunately, last March I met an American Turkish Designer who designs for woman with scarf. She is a famous designer and she also designs for the First Lady of Turkey. Her name is Elif Kavakci and she grew up in Texas. We have a lot of in common. She doesn’t feel only Turkish or American. She is like me a bilingual. She has a bilingual blog where she posts all her new designs or dresses which can be worn by women with a scarf. This is perfect because I know where I can go shopping and therefore, I am following her blog. She also designed a special scarf, which can be worn on graduation. On my graduation I used one of her designs and it was a blessing because it looked great
I noticed that I could relax best when I am baking or cooking. I made it my habit to make or cook for hours or days after I hand in my final papers. I think, during the semester I am using only my head and through cooking and baking a give my brain a time out. I mean, all my friends benefit from this and I enjoy it when my cooking and baking makes my friends happy. The only issue was for me when I started this tradition to find recipes where I can combine the German cousin with the Turkish one. During my research I found this blog where a Turkish lady posts all his experimental recipes. I even didn’t know that it was a blog and she is like me. She has her PhD and does cooking and baking to relax.
In April 2011 I found out that I am pregnant. So, I am following a German blog about pregnancy and how I can manage my morning sickness, cravings and other side effects of the pregnancy. I am now 16 Weeks pregnant and I have to eat every 2-3 hours something. I cannot eat big amounts and this is the reason why I am eating sometimes during the class since I get hungry. Hopefully, I am still loosing weight because I can only eat fruits, nuts or some other things. Oh, by the way, this is the first time that I made my pregnancy public. I did not tell everybody that I am pregnant…
Last year in Spring my siblings forced me to open a facebook account. I knew it that I would waste my time with communicating with old friends and relatives. At the beginning I tried to understand what all these symbols meant and I got help from my siblings. Now, I am spending hours on facebook. I found a video on youtube how to use facebook and it is funny because it is black white and plays in the 1930s. The speaking voice sounds very American. Maybe, it is time to think where the human relationships are going because its enough to leave a message on Facebook to say Happy Birthday. Is this really the new area of making friends?
I am not good with technique. I think I am a victim of all the computers and especially printers because they are not doing what I want them to do. I found this video on youtube and I think it explains my situation. I think a Stickman is following me to make my life harder I hope through the digital literacy class I can learn some tricks and tips how I can start fighting against the Stickman.
