*Şeker* Bayram





So, here I am, writing from my dorm-room again:)
Which also means that the vacation is over - and we are all back to school.
I came back to Izmir right after school on Friday and spent Friday night and Saturday with my family and friends. Even though most of my friends from highschool were not there, (b/c they go to college in the states) i got a chance to see my friends who go to college in Turkey. It was so wonderful to see them again, because this time all of us were full of the excitement of living outside of our hometown and going to college. So we had many things to share with each other. We were all experiencing the similar things; such as getting used to our new school, meeting new people and making friends starting from the very beginning. As we all told our stories, there was something which really made me feel releved - even though we were all going to different colleges in different cities, we are all living the same experiences and feeling the same emotions.

On Sunday morning, we started our trip to Asos. We were there with our family friends, and just like the many other trips we took together, we knew that this vacation was also going to be a great one! On the day that we arrived to Asos, the weather was kind of cold and rainy, so we didn't get to do much. We spent the night in the hotel- and I think it was better because there were many things to talk with Ece and her family. Since they live in Istanbul, we don't get to see each other much, other than these kinds of trips that we plan together.
Oh yeah, i forgot again, I also live in Istanbul! :)

In the second, third and fourth day, we went to Kaz Dağları, and Bozcaada, and we absolutely loved those places. In Kazdağları, I felt like I was in a place where the time has stopped. There were many little villages with houses made of stones and the nature and the weather made me feel in peace. Especially going to these kind of calm and peaceful places, after living in big-crazy-cities make you take more from these places.

We came back home on Thursday night, and on friday i saw some friends that I couldn't see last week, and spent some good time with them. The next day, my mom & I went shopping for some warm clothes, since the winters in İstanbul are way more colder than the winters of Izmir.
And on Saturday night, we had a family reunion in my grandparents' house and we celebrated "my grandma's birthday" and "my coming back home":) We always have fun in these kinds of dinners, I don't know- maybe because we are a very fun and happy family:)

now i better go to sleep, otherwise I will fall asleep tomorrow in COMM 101 and Mr. O'Regan will poke me in the eye:)

JK!

You needn't worry about me every poking you in the eye - although if needs be I might poke you somewhere else. Glad to hear you had such a great Bayram - I have taken note of the places you have visited as I am always on the lookout for new places to go myself.
