Thursday's Cliche'
Keep your friends close. Keep your enemies closer. Watch your friends, but keep a closer watch on what your enemies are doing. Your friends could betray you, but you never know what you can expect with your enemies. Enemies are more lethal, because they are always scheming against you. Friends can still attack you, but they don't necessarily make you nervous or afraid.

Lately, we are so tired because of making an effort to find a flat. Finally, we rented one and the day before yesterday we bought some furnitures. It is easy to buy something, but it is difficult to find cheapest one:)
ReplyDeleteYesterday, I slept at 07:30 pm because I was so tired and woke up at 10:00 pm without wanting. Even though I tired to fall asleep, I could not and decided to get out of the bed. Normally, I was going to wake up at 06:00 am today to finish my homework but after I woke up, I finished everything that I needed and slept at 03:00 am. So now my brain is turning a little bit:)
After class which means twenty minutes later, We will go to check more furniture for our new house.
Today there is christmas Eve in Ms. Pat's house, We'll be ten of us in the evening and Ismail and me are going to have first Christmas Eve experience in our lives. Therefore, I should say that I am excited now.
Besides, a long vacation is waiting for us and it makes me happy because I really need to relax.
I wish happy christmas to everyone:)
I am doing well in these days. We just got new apartment 2 days before. Both Dilek and I are excited to settle down in our new home.
ReplyDeleteI will keep posted about that
Today is 24th Dec, tomorrow is Christmas, the atmosphere of festival is becoming more and more deep, but I still keep studying in ELS, it sounds a little boring, and I think so too. In fact, I enjoy here a little bit because of my classmates and my teachers, they have a lot of news and fresh information, such as where they will go, what is the plan about Christmas, which attracts me somtimes.
ReplyDeleteI had 6 classes as usual today, but the time of class began a little bit earlier, we did not have much time to finish our lunch at noon, luckily, we were offered some cockies for free at around 10:00 in the morning, as well as some coffee and juice, I ate some cockies and talked my friend about whether I should cook for anther guy,and I got some useful information. I appreciated them a lot, they were my friends who helped me a lot and often made some decision for me. I am luck, very luck, I mean I meet them.And then I had a quize, it was about marriage, I kepte writing and writing, in fact, I kind of liked writing and felt very successful after finnishing my essay. Even though I am not sure if I could have a high score, but I still liked it.I feel very happy now because I could enjoy so much things, such as friendship, health and love which from my classmates and parents, I do not have so many requirements about my life so everyday is Christmas for me, and I wish kind people and persons who give me their love and help enjoy everyday in their lives.
I am happy to hear that, I am very lucky to have you to teach me.How is your Christmas?
ReplyDeleteI just stayed at home and prepare Gmat, but I will not cook for the guy anymore,haha,thank you for your care.
