A few hours in I.R.I. General Consulate

Today, I went to the consulate for some paperwork. There, I experienced some problems. To number them, (1) the responsible person was not there. What a good chance! Therefore, I decided to call her beforehand, in the future, and make sure that she will be in her position: Ms. Jahanbackshi, the extension number is 132. I remember that we can only call them after 14:00.

Study monitor

The below image shows my study behavior in fall 2017-18. I have increased the study time during the semester. The increase, however, may be due to the fluctuations I experienced if the lab hours and assisting hours are included in the study time. To avoid this problem, I will itemize clearly which activities should and which should not be included in the study time.

Turkish Dictionary

I want to buy three dictionaries: 1. Azeri-English, 2. English-Turkish, and 3. Turkish-Turkish. The dictionaries should not be so comprehensive. I want them to be a learner's dictionary. Here are some reliable candidates which I am going to choose out of them.
