 If i were a boy

if i were a boy even just for a day,

I'd do everything indifferently

And wander around all day

Get out of my way,my life

Leave me alone, if you did

I'd fall in love with whom i wanted

And i'd never remember you

Cause i'd forget you

If i were a boy

I think i could understand

How it feels to leave a girl

I swear i'd be more considerate

I'd talk with her

Cause i know how she feels

When you cannot see the one you wanted

Cause he's interested with you

And everything you had got lost

If i were a boy

I would go away from here

Tell everyone i had a holiday

So they'd think that i was happy

I'd not make girl sad

And i'd never tell lie her

Cause i know that she'd be deceived

Trusting me comletely

If i were a boy

I think i could understand

How it feels to leave a girl

I swear i'd be more considerate

I'd talk with girl

Cause i know how she feels

When you cannot see the one you wanted

Cause he's interested with you

And everything you had got lost

It is little too late for you to be with me

Say you fall in love me

Think that i'd believe you

If you thought i would believe you

You were lost

But you're just a boy

You don't recognize

And you don't understand

How it feels to leave a girl one day

You wish you were more considerate

You dont distinguish

You dont figure out how it hurts

When you cannot see the one you wanted

Cause he's interested with you

And everything you had got lost

Because you are just a boy

FONTANA Dİ TREVİ

                              

One of the most reowned places of Roma which impress all the people going there with museums,historical churchs and famuos places is Fondana Di Trevi or Trevi foundation also known as "Aşk Çeşmesi" in Turkish.

Trevi Foundation are only called "Aşk Çeşmesi" in Turkey and it isn't known the reason of this.Possibly,it is remembered as "Aşk Çeşmesi" because of the films shot in Roma.General expression of the structure is "sea".In the middle of it, there is Neptun(sea god) in his horse carriages which is pulled by winged horse.There are two horse.The one rearing up symbolizes mess of ocean and the other,which is calm,symbolizes stagnation.

Also,there is a legend about why Trevi Foundation was built.According to legend,Roma army couldn't find water for a long time when they were returning from war.Just at that moment,a splendid girl appeared and she said to them that they would have found water if they had dug the area on which they were.Soldiers dug the area which the girl described and where the foundation is located now.Finally they found the water.This legend is described with images on the foundation.In these pictures,it can be seen that soldiers were digging the area and there were a beautiful girl with them.

According to belief,Trevi foundation is also a wish foundation.It is said that tree coins are supposed to be throw in the foundation,then tree wishes must be desired.The first one is for coming back Roma,the second one is for finding true love and the third one is for finding true love at Roma.Throwing the coins over the left shoulder by taking them with the right hand means that wishes are sealed powerfully.

I explained Trevi Foundation because i would like to see it.I am impessred by its beauty.It was built eloborately and its structure is really marvellous.Besides its beauty,it has a interesting history in my opinion.I hope i will go to Roma and see Trevi Foundation one day.

VIDEO REFLECTION

They think that studying in US is beneficial for them.Because they have chance to study with different people.They can create new goals for themselves.And they think that US education system is based on creavitiy and team work.

The Chinese student decided to go to US because in China, high grates are needed to attend to college.The Netherland student thinks that there is big difference between Europen and US in terms of education system.According to her,US education system require team work and creavity.And her grandfather and his friend recommend going to US.The Japanese student said that he studied highschool in England and Canada.So he got used to studying and living at different countries.

According to them,there are differences between US and their country in terms of both education and daily life.The Japanese student said that in his country,when somebody attend a college,if she/he want to change his/her major this is impossible.When it comes to daily life,he said that in Japan people communicate with indirect ways.The Netherland student said that while their own education system is strict,US education system is more flexible and people can do much more things beside studying.The Chine student said that in China,high degree is required to attend to college,but US does not.And he said that in US people use dry machine,while in China people hang up their clothes outside.

Because they all come from different cultures,they experienced culture shock.For example,they said that people wear short and thin in winter and people are very active and sociable.

Money which they have to pay is approximately is 35.000 dollars.But amount of money depends on so many things like meals,deparment.

I have thought of going abroad but i have not decided to where i can go yet.Going abroad will be definitely beneficial for me.Because i will be English teacher,i can develop my English by living abroad and communicating with people who speak English.Beside this if i meet native speakers,it can be more beneficial for me.At the beginning,i have some difficulties but as time passes,i am sure i will get used.Actually these difficulties are worth going abroad.I hope i have chance to see different countries and cultures.

Beıng a METU student

I feel,of course,i am going through an adaptation process from being a high school student to a university student at Metu.Many things influence this process.One of them is psychological effect.I know that i am not comletely an adult,but i know that i am not child anymore.Now i can think more logically or focus on important things which affect my entire life or i can live without my family.And i am learning how to live by myself.In these ways,i feel that i am developing psychologically.Second one is social effect.Now i have a new class,new friends and new life.And day by day i meet different people.So i do not feel lonely.Third one is academic effect.When i came to here,i had some fears about lessons.For example,I thought that German would be difficult for me.But now,i understand and can do it.I am learning how to speak English very well.But of course,i have some challenges.At high school times,we did not speak English.We always solved test.Thus,i did not develop my speaking skill.But at here,i am supposed to speak English in lessons.So i do not know what to do and i am worried about this.There is other problem.I am a bit sorry.Because i miss my family very much.I had never been away from them in my entire life.I am sometimes happy but sometımes unhappy because of this situation.Even these problems when i came to Metu,i was not worried so much like other people.I feel lucky because i am with my best friend,Buket,who i have known for four years.We are in the same dormitory,actually same room and same sections.I have not adaptation problem thanks to her.Whenever we are bored,we make something.For example,we learned Metu quickly or we help each other about everything like lessons,homeworks.So i have not problem like being lonely.
I think,being student at metu is privilige.It has a big campus.While some universities has not campus,Metu has a big campus.It offers many oppurtunies.There are so many groups that keen on interesting things.Thanks to these groups,people can meet different people.But one thing does not satisfy me.I thought that we would have an amphi.But education faculty does not have it.This situation really upset me.Learning something at amphi would be interesting.
To sum up,being a student at metu means being free.It means not having prejudice.It is to feel yourself special.It means that you will have a bright future.And it is to show off that i am student of METU :)
