Hello hello hello! How is everyone doing here? I miss all of you!
I have been absent for a long time but I have a good reason:) In the meantime, I defended and submitted my dissertation, so now I am a Dr (not a medical one; an academic doctor). I also moved and had a bunch of job applications to make. There were too many things going on, so I could not write here.
This week, I will not write about any topic, because I want to check in with everyone. I will resume regular writing next week onward. Tell me what you have been up to! How are you feeling? What happened in the past few months?
Congratulations!!!! 🙂
Thank you!
How are you?
Tebrikler, Dr. Erbasi!
Tesekkür ederim:)
Congratulations on completing your PhD. It’s an awesome feeling!!
Thank you! How are you?
Doing well, considering the state of the world these days. I hope you can say the same.
Yes I can, thankfully! I am glad you can say it too:)
It’s good to hear from you, Dr. Erbasi. Congratulations – I admit to feeling a smidge of jealous inspiration (mental note: make plans for future post-grad work). I can’t wait to read future updates. As for me and my life, chaos. On the bright side, my current coping method/way of dealing with my broken hippocampus results in headway on lots of home projects.
Hello! Thank you! There is a lot of times of struggle but we get there at the end! It is the hope. That keeps us going, right?
Exactly. Keep moving forward 💖
Thank you!
Congratulations Dr. E!
Thank you! How are you?
I’ve been busy 😂 but can’t complain! How have things been with you?
Really busy! Right now, I am having the aches from all the running around. But it was worth it:)
Congratulations, Dr. Erbasi! 🙂 What is next for you?
Thank you! Currently looking for jobs😬 How are you?
We are doing well. All the best with your job search! <3
Thank you! Good to hear that you are doing well:)
Quite an accomplishment!
Thank you! How are you?
Hanging on!
When you hang in there long enough, there will come a time when you can let go!
Way to go, Dr. E! Turmoil here, but when isn’t it? Glad you’re back!
Thank you! What kind of turmoil?
Congrats Dr! A lot has happened in the past few months, how have you been?
Thank you! Oh, a lot has happened but I am doing well:) It went smoother than I imagined. How are things with you?
Welcome
Thank you! How are you?
Congrats, Betul! What an accomplishment.
I too, have been taking a break from the site. I gave birth to another child, in January: a beautiful baby girl. Like my son, she was premature, which was very stressful. But I’m happy to report that she’s healthy. Anyway, it’s great to hear from you, my friend. Be well!
Oh my God! Congratulations! So so happy for you! It is great to hear that you both are doing good! You be well as well!
Thanks so much! 🙂
Congratulations !!!!!! and thanks. Doing good
Yay, awesome! Also, thank you!
Congratulations Betul! What a wonderful milestone. You’ve put so much work into your studies. Great two letter reward, Dr. Erbasi!
Thank you so much! I hope you have been doing fine too?
Yes, we have been careful and lucky. Thanks for asking. What are your next plans? Has covid generated freezing hires or are people retiring? Hope you will stop by to see the March poetry challenge poems people write on light and darkness. My best to you for a wonderful career!
I am looking for a job but a lot of places are hiring right now. So it is actually a good time for me to look for a job. Fingers crossed!
I am starting to write after such a long break so I am not sure if I can participate in a challenge yet. But I can try!
Glad to hear that you’ve found job openings. Hope you find a wonderful community with inspiring scholars. In two weeks time you can decide if you’ll have time for an April poem. I’ll announce the theme and form in about a week.
Looking forward to it!
Congratulations !
Thank you!
Congratulations!
Best wishes.

I feel proud to learn about your achievement. Congrats once again Betul.
