A Homeless Child

That night was like a nightmare for this homeless child. Late at night he was sitting in the city park just like everyday. He was alone and outside was freezing cold. So he lighted a fire to warm himself. This effort made the area a bit warmer. People were wandering aimlessly around the city park. But a few minutes later some noises broke this silence and suddenly a chaos occured. A malicious man was trying to steal a pretty woman's bag and after reaching his goal he abruptly ran away. She was such a bad situation that everbody around her tried to calm her down. Then they called the police. But the burglar had already disappeared by the time police arrived. Then they started to search some clues for cathching the burglar. While they were searching the area, they found the homeless child sitting alone in the city park. The police mistakenly thought that this homeless child was the burglar. Without totally understanding the situation, police caught this innocent child and brought him to the police station. They interrogated him again and again. When the child started to lose his hope of life, the suffered lady came and specified that he wasn't guilty. Afterwards police apologized for their misconception and he was happy because of ending this terrifying night.

Shopping with Girls

It was sunday and my friends, Özge, Senem and Tuğba decided to go shopping. They offered me to join them and I accepted. But we had an IS100 mid-term so we decided to go after the exam. Firstly we would buy a few new clothes for Tuğba. We started to walk around but couldn't find anything. Then we gave up shopping, at that time we realized that we were hungry. Tuğba offered us to eat meatballs and we approved. We arrived at restaurant in a few minutes. We were going to eat meatballs but firstly we had to line up and wait for our orders. Finally we managed to take our orders and started to look for an empty table. In first floor there was no place so we decided to ascend second floor. We found a table and sit. But our meatballs were a bit peppery so it wasn't easy to eat them especially for Senem. After finishing our meals we decided to go to a cafe and play backgammon. We wandered about thirty minutes and managed to find a cafe. I played backgammon with Tuğba and Özge. I won both games. Because they were novices at this game. We spent nearly two hours in this cafe and left because we got bored. After waiting fifteen minutes EGO came and we went to our dormitories. It was very entertaining and I will never forget that day.

Our Sweet House in Secondlife

This is the first time we built a house in Secondlife, so when our teacher said we would build a house in Secondlife we got confused and started to think what would we do. But in a few minutes he explained how we built a house in Secondlife and we began to build the house. Firstly we composed our group which has five members. After doing that we made some cubes. One of them was floor and the others were walls and roof. First of all we put the floor, then we put the walls equally and finally we put our roof. We made our roof colorful. But our task didn't finish yet. We needed a door. After making our door, we added something to sit and our task finished. Finally we took a photo as a souvenir. It was very exciting to build a house and now we have a beautiful house in Secondlife.

Away From City Life

Last year, when it's very close to University Entrance Exam, my best friend, Metin, and I decided to go to his village. We were going to stay at his grandfather's house which had been empty for years.

We bought some foods to be able to survive.The village's distance from the city was about 4 miles. We went half the way by bus and the other half on foot. It was so hot and dry that we took breaks very often. When we finally got there, we forgot our tiredness and immediately began to enjoy the wonderful view of the village and it's surroundings. When we went inside the home, we weren't surprised at that mess. The first thing we did was to clean the kitchen and the living room. Thank God we had a vacuum cleaner. After we had finished the cleaning, we felt so hungry. At that moment, someone knocked the door. She was an acquaintance of Metin. She brought us some food, including cheese, tea, bread, and a traditional meal called 'sıkma'. We thanked her a lot and set our lunch table. It was really delicious. Afterwards, we did some hiking and wandered around the village gardens. The silence broke our tension. When we came the house again, we were too hungry to wait dinner time. We started cooking meat outside the house. After this first step of dinner, we began watching some movies. When we watched two of them, our stomachs started to hurt. Spaghetti cooked in a kettle couldn't be more tasteful. Then we started watching again and after our sixth movie, we realized that it was morning, already. Then we had our breakfast and got to sleep. It was almost evening when we woke up. We packed our bags and set out for the city. It was an unforgettable memory for both of us.
