The school is back open again, and although I'm glad it finally is -a month long holiday at home with your family is not very practical-, I'm already looking forward to the next break. I haven't missed the three hours of travel each day, not even for a bit. And by Murphy's Laws, the snow that never made it here at the actual break now has come. So not only I have to travel 3 hours each day but also I have to freeze my a** doing so. Fun, aye?

And the lecturers are really going hard on us this term, we already have lots of work to do, and I've been translating some chapters of a law book on "Law of Succession" since monday. I'm seriously this close to going completely insane. Law is scary and hard enough in your mother tongue, translating it into your mother tongue is a whole another deal. I don't know if you've ever noticed but laws seem to be written in a really weird language that noone ever uses. Civilians can't read.

Other than these, I'm also down with God knows what, I've been running a slight fever for the last week, it comes and it goes, and it's not helping with my work. See, even when I try to talk (write) about something other than them, they manage to work into my sentences. The translations are taking over my whole life!!!

The other day we were at the English Lexis class, and the lecturer was making us read an excerpt from a Dean Koontz book. Then he went on to exlain some sentences of it, there were some references between the lines, some allusions. And one of the was that the main character of the book was being compared to Sigourney Weaver, since she was killing ants in her kitchen with a sray can of insecticide just like she did with the flamethrower in the movie Alien. And this articular lecturer, not only called Sigourney Weaver a "man", but also he went on to tell that the main villain of "his" movie was a huge bug. And the whole time I was going crazy not to tell anything, because you know, correcting a lecturer is like academic suicide, especially when you're just a freshman.

So this is how my week has been so far, how have you guys been? Leave a word, and take care. I have some Hegel to read now. =))

Love,
BuRCu =))

Welcome everybody, since I managed to get through the semester without too much damage, I'm throwing a party. Wanna join? Let's head to the bar... We have tequila, wine, beer, margaritas and mojitos...



If you're underage or, just don't feel like drinking alcohol, feel free to dig into the fridge... We have a very nice DJ, and, we have bubble wrap. I think we're ready.



Oh yeah, we have food as well.

And of course, a chocolate fountain...

And a white chocolate one, just because...

So I've got AA from Philosophy, German and Public Speaking, AB from Introduction to Translation and Writing but CC from Turkish for Translators. I don't know which is sadder, that it's the crazy, obsessive prof who graded it, or that I barely passed the only class in my native language...

Party on people, I'll be over the dance floor...

Hey all! How are you?

The title and the tagline is from the movie "17 and Under " (199. From the director Greg Morgan, the story of a seventeen-year-old gang member who is convicted and sentenced to live with a family that has lost their son to violent crime. Anyone seen this?

Personal Update: Soo, the weather here has been pretty awful lately, disabling me from getting online here. But here I am, as dedication always wins. I was at the gym again, after taking a three day break to let my leg heal. This time fortunately I managed not to injure myself.

This week was a packed one for me. I went book hunting with three of my closest friends, then met a friend from high school and saw Jim Carrey's "Yes Man" -LOL at the redbull scene-, then some friends from elementary school, kind of a reunion. And tomorrow I'll be taking a trip to uni to see the results of the philosophy finals... Of course I had to have a cold at this week of all weeks...
