Thursday, March 19 - First Day of Spring!
9 AM - Skype w Zeynep from Istanbul- Kutsi is quarantined at home after traveling to southeast corner of country to deliver a camera.
- Zeynep has caught a cold that she said everyone in Istanbul has - but no fever
- Esin is doing great, but getting antsy in their small apartment.
- Parents are fine - Mom in Izmir for some dental work, Dad in Istanbul, now they worry that they are stuck in these two cities
- Will continue teaching her course at Sabanci, since normally online anyway, not a huge change - Course on Sustainability to 700 first year students, Zeynep has responsibility for a fraction of those (about 100?).
- Concerned that the neighborhood is very busy, too busy to keep the social distancing
- Remarked on the irony of choosing an apartment that would be safe in an earthquake, giving up the older garden apartment with a yard in favor of a modern building on an upper floor, now has no private access to the outside and no balcony as this was converted to the second bathroom.
10:30 AM Zoom w girls
