Erkan's field diary

Holiday times.  The second major religious holiday, the Feast of Sacrifice (Eid ul-Adha), starts tomorrow. Official holiday started this noon. Social holiday feelings started since last Friday. -Half of the students already disseapered- As you know I don't like holidays much. Life in general is a holiday for me. I enjoy what I do and holidays disrupt the process. Holidays disrupt the way I live. This angers me a lot. But I will try to make best of it. I will dive into reading and ignore the social upheaval in terms of shopping and traffic jams. Well, reading itself may not help, I will play cards with my buddies- now i'm organizing a team- and will play with my new toy: Nokia N95!!!

I might even ignore the socially mandated relative visits this time. Pofff.

Under the title: Happy Holidays!

The sheep wearing turban: "Maybe the Prime Minister would extend his graces to me too, and I would be saved [from being slaughtered]. I'm trying my luck!"
