"some radical changes in my research strategy...

January 25, 2005

I would like to introduce a strategy game that has dethroned Civilization's place in my heart: Football Manager 2005. Twins came and stayed in my apartment for two days during the bayram holiday. so Hakan brought me this game and now i can understand how he managed to fail in several classes. For the whole two days, we stayed together and played games, watched movies and Nurdan experimented some cooking which ended up leaving some strange odors in the apartment.

As in this game, even when i think i gather the ideal winning team of players, some things happen to disappoint expectations such as injuries, performances, ineligible situations, penalisations etc.. I am aware of good things that Ebru mentions but at the same time, i would like to declare right now that i am thinking of some radical changes in my research strategy... I now certainly believe that Prof Ugur cannot help me directly. I now certainly believe that my primary strategy of attending editorial meetings are impossible and might be even ineffective. Here comes a small scale crisis:)

I have completed my work in grading. I think most of my students will really be happy with their grades.

Remember that from one research crisis new ideas can emerge and new strategies can be opened up. Editorial meetings were only one possible strategy. Maybe interviewing some journalists will give you new ideas of where to participate and observe?

although i have not met kathrine, i heard a lot about her. hi katherine!!! yes, i agree with her that interviewing certain journalists in turkey instead of trying to participate the editorial meetings might be a better idea. to be honest, i've always had this concern about your project. these meetings are probably reagrded top secret and thus revealing some of the things going on in these meetings might be scandalous. (you know what i am talking about the connections between media, army, banks, government, etc...) by the way, why can not aydin ugur help you?
