hi everyone,
This is my first time posting but I was hoping you all could help me with a quick question. I've been recommended for an ETA to Turkey and I will definitely accept the position if I'm selected. However, my sister just got engaged last week and is planning her wedding for next May. I know most of us haven't done a Fulbright year yet, but do any of you know if it would be frowned upon to take work off for about a week and a half at some point during the month of May so I can fly back to the states to attend my sister's wedding festivities? I'm the Maid of Honor and my sister has already told me she will be upset if I'm not there for the whole week of luncheons and showers and fittings that comes before the ceremony. I don't mean to jump the gun by assuming I'll be selected, but she asked me to try and find out before she books her date. So, anyone know if our contract permits leaving for that sort of thing? Or is it up to us to work it out with the University that we're placed with during our stay?
thanks!
