Today marks one year since I started at the paper I work for in Turkey. Subhanallah, how time flies! One year on, and everything that’s happened has gone completely differently than I’d expected or planned. Things change so quickly! When I came here my expectations were very different; I thought I’d live in the same place I lived when I got here; I’ve moved apartments three times and am planning another (hopefully final) move. I didn’t think I’d leave Turkey unless it was to move back to the US; I traveled once to Germany, once to Egypt, and am planning a trip to Yemen this Ramadan insha’Allah. And, insha’Allah in the next month I’m also changing my job — same company, but working as a reporter instead of copy editor. I wonder what the rest of my time in Turkey will bring.

One year, and counting
