Two
major events marked my stay in Konya. The first was the encounter
with my first romantic interest, the professor of psychology,
recently transferred form Ankara and home-room teacher for
our class.She was beautiful and mysterious.Our eyes never
met unitl the day she proposed that all the students in class
write a short autobiography and attach a photo so that we
could pass them around and get better acquainted. I spent
three days writing the story of my life and I drew a small
self-portrait in place of the photo.

When
we turned the papers in to the professor, she called out the
names on the autobiographies and when she came to mine, she
approached and murmured, "So, you are Nezir Korkmaz".
She asked me to come and see her in the faculty lounge that
afternoon and we made a habit of meeting there. This most illicit
relationship lasted for my entire stay in the town. It only
came to an end when I eventually left for Tatvan.
