I met with Ebru today for lunch at Jasmine Cafe. It was absolutely delightful. We ordered sushi and talked about living in Tallahassee, gender norms in our cultures, and astrology. We learned a lot about each other and our similarities. For example, in our countries, they are both traditional when it comes to family, women's labor, and age. Ebru is very happy to live in the United States and study because education is more flexible here than it is in Turkey. I explained to Ebru how standardized testing in inner-city public schools may be the exception to the flexibility of the American Education System. Beyond that, we shared our astrological charts. I showed Ebru how to read her own natal chart. I'm really excited to meet with Ebru again tomorrow.
