The end of highschool, end of childhood, and the first step to college..
With the complicated feelings of all these factors, here I am sitting in my very first class, Comm 101.
At first, when I checked my schedule and saw the course's name as "Communication", I had no clue that it actually was an "Academic Writing" Class. So, it was a little bit horrifying to figure it out in the class.
My first opinion about this course is that, it's very similar to my English Course in ACI. (American Collegiate Institute-Izmir) But of course, it's much more complex and creative. For instance, we've never done something like writing a blog or creating a Podcast. However, in ACI we were also supposed to choose our Project & Essay topics by ourselves. I believe it's much more better than doing what your instructor asks you to do.
In the second class, Mr. O'Regan told us to choose a topic to do our podcasts on. Truly, creating a podcast really frightened me because there are two main things that I hate about myself.
#1- hearing my voice from a voice recorder
#2- watching myself in a video-record.
So, I have to figure out a way to get rid of these fears of mine...
About the bayram holiday... We are going to see Asos and Gökçe Ada with a very good friend of mine, and her family. So I'm pretty excited about this trip, because I've never seen these places before and people keep telling me about how beautiful these places are.
I'm looking forward for the Bayram Holiday:)
Lets see how things will go!

Remember that even if you make a video for your podcast you don't need to "appear in person" so that's that problem solved. However, there's no way of getting round having to record and listen to your own voice. However, remember that pretty much everyone feels the same way about listening to themselves.
Hope you enjoyed Gokce Ada and Asos. If you've taken any nice photos why not post them here in this blog.
