* I applied for two universities in İstanbul. One was with close relations with Altun's close frend... Failed at both... So, the end of the dream to live in İstanbul with Altun - at least this year. Long distance again.
* For a well known and esteemed university in Ankara I've been through a 10 minute interview, after psssing it, been to a 35 -40 minutes of interview, came out to be positive, thankfully! But still I'll see the trustee commitee of the foundation, and the contract is not until the end of August - which is also a problem because it's really a late date for me to quit the job in Ministry. - I want to quit it nice officialy in the case that I want to turn back.
* This university wanted me to go to TOEFL for a wage increase. So, today I started directly with speech section which still I need to put a work on. Here is the tomorrow's plan:
* Do the independent speaking sections again - and paired sections.
*Do the simultaneously talking while watching thing again - I'm going for it with modern family. Here is what it is:
"Watch your favorite English language TV show or movie, and as the characters speak, repeat loudly the exact words they are saying the moment you hear them. In other words, 'shadow' their dialog in real-time. Don't worry about getting every word or sound right - focus on listening carefully, moving along quickly and keeping pace. After the movie ends, repeat the exact same movie and do it again. And again."
