Lets Cross Our Fingers

Night and day, nothing hurts me worse than watching the brutality spilling over my country. Any breath of air reminds me of those who are innocently prisoned. Any smile fades away from my lips when I remember those freedom fighters who are unfairly on trial. Any view of the city brings to my mind those who were slaughtered cruelly in these streets. It's too hard to to be happy, to look forward to the future, to be hopeful these days. I want you all green friends to pray for our country's fate.

Travel for Fulfillment

Although it is the custom for my family to go on vacation every summer, I had always been against it until this summer. Two weeks ago I had a wonderful trip to Kish that caused me to change my mind and become a big fan of travelling. there was a point in this trip that differed it from other ones: I travelled with three friends this time, not my family. This sweet experience put me in a situation which I hadn't been in before, taught me to be independent, and boosted my confidence. It was so interesting to stay awake till morning without parents' grumbling, to make silly troubles cooking food for ourselves, to get along with each other's habbits, and to become short of money. I hadn't known that travelling could be that much exciting before. A backpacking trip to wilderness, or a fishing expedition might be my next trip in close future. Who knows?

just a grumbling

Getting bored with disappointing summer days, I think about my personality deeply these days that has caused me a profound feeling of dissatisfaction with myself. I can describe myself a lazy and moody girl who can't accomplish anything, can't answer to a sudden unexpected question wisely, and can't manage doing two activities at the same time. It feels too sad; however,it might be normal in anyone at my age, or it might be the effect of boiling hot weather on me. I just wish to get out of it soon.

Vicky Cristina Barselona

After a long time being dissatisfied with cliched movies, I watched a great movie by Woody Allen tonight: Vicky Cristina Barselona--about the adventures of two American girls during their vacation to Barselona. It really put me in the mood of an expedition, especially to Spain. I strongly recommend this movie to those who are bored with the summer holidays.

Summer

Good or bad, the exams are finished; and here is the summer that I was counting the days for. For a start, I'm reading a book by Romain Gary : Life in Front of You. I'm also learning a beautiful and well-known piece of music by Beethoven: Moonlight sonata. After all those tense days, I feel so relaxed and happy, enjoying myself, looking forward to a wonderful summer; however, I will deeply miss the university very soon.

People! Heart-stoping Days Are on Our Way

It is quite difficult to guess who the next president is. Left-wing or right-wing, the majority is voting this time in contrast to the previous presidental election. I'd better keep quiet over politics although I have a lot to say. I just hope and pray that nobody looks upon us as stupid kids anymore.

My Heroic Mother

When we bought a peugeot 405 eight years ago, catching fire, the common malfuction of this type of car, was a nightmare for me all the time. Finally, it happened to my mother and me yesterday. We were driving to my grandparent's house, chatting with each other , not paying attention to the outside of the car, and not noticing that people were yelling "fire" at us. When we finally found out what was going on around us, we stopped and left the car immediately. Fortunately, it didn't cause serious damage to our car because we managed to put the fire out quickly.It was remarkable that among all those macho men watching the flames, my mother was the one who dared to open the burning hood. Who says that firewomen aren't as couragous as firemen?
