                          LAUGTHER of EMPTINESS

I put my hand into the void

But no one holding it

All  the voices

Were only in my head

They just watched me from inside

The camera

As I sink into the lap of silent darkness

With my Loneliness

The man who recorded me

Asked me about my dreams

I didn’t know what to say

I strated crying

How much could I cry

On this old chair

When my whole family was laughing inside

My sobs drowned

In a sea of  laughter

Accepted death

I’m the one who didn’t do anything for her(my)self

I am not even dead to her(my)self

Though

She had no fear

Of breathing

In the jungle of the orpahns

Will this life ,

Which I felt was not mine when  lived,

Be mine when my name is placed on my headstone?

AUTUMN MOODS

Autumn season, for me is very depressing. Somethings are changing; for example the weather beging to deteriorate both cold and hot, the yellowing leaves and falling from the tree, the clothes we wear,our perspective on a new season. These changes effect us so much... The other reason,you return from vacation this time and you know you will miss it. I am sure the sea, sand and sun are the best of all, others travelling, celebrating important days, meeting with friends in the summer vacation. I enjoyed all. I am so happy for that but now, we should be concentrate, focus on our lessons in the school. Therefore, we should be energetic, happy,cheerful,hopeful,eagerly and patient. Hey my dear friend, I want to know about you. Promise me you will be happy everytime dispite all these anormal situations. We are one big family, we should share everything with each other. Nothing is as valuable as we are. These seasons,weathers,bad situations, dark feelings are temporary. Only focus on success an...

WORTHY GUESTS

 Nazlıcan & Tuğba visited us last week to answer our questions and they gave us a lecture about their exam experience. They gratuated last year from Orhan Cemal Fersoy Anatolian High school .Maybe I'm sitting on the desks they used to sit on a few years ago. Nazlıcan is intreseted in English so she is studying English Literature in Istanbul University. Tuğba is a student in Trakya University,  she would like o be an English teacher in the Future.  What can I say about their personalities? They are so kind , outgoing and hardworking. They're nicer than I thought. They answered our questions politely. Moreover they gave us some useful tips wich can help us in our school life. After talking about 30 minutes we elicited more details about TYT. I reckon that there are many difference between Tuğba and Nazlıcan; for example: Nazlıcan wasn't afraid from the exam as Tuğba was. She was very ambitious and hopeful,on the contrary Tuğba was so stressful untill she took a gumble a...

About our TYT test

-
TYT is a kind of exam required to enter a university for some branches in high school, and we had a TYT test to measure our knowledge about certain classes this friday... And me being me, I had no sleep before entering the exam, didn't have breakfast that day and I was pretty exhausted coming back from the university trip we had. I was never good at science classes (physics, chemistry, biology) and the second I saw the first question I flipped through the science section. On turkish I was super bored and did a few questions but math was quite enjoyable to solve even though i did a few questions. Social studies were just meh, I don't remember much of it And yeah that's about it about my experiences in the test, I didn't do that good sadly but I'll try harder the next time. Anyways this was my post, it felt more like complaining but what am I to do. Have a good day!
