STUDENTS POST 1:
"Gizem Yılmaz"
I usually go to bed at around 10 or 11 o'clock. If I sleep late, the reason is usually the fact that I have to study hard or drink coffee at night. I usually try to sleep early, of course except on special days; such as new year's celebrations. At the weekends I go to bed at 12 o'clock latest. However, my classmates sleep very late. They always say ' I sleep at 3 am. and 4 am.' I really wonder and would like to ask you: What do you do when you go to bed late?

fog: a quilt covering the city

We woke up to a misty halo today. A soft light was covering the city, absorbing all the morning sounds: the buzz of the city, the horns of the cars, the rushing taps on the street. I like the fuzziness of foggy mornings, as well as the one of snowy days. They turn the city into a fairyland and turn our ordinary lives into a timeless fairytale. So, here I admit: I woke up today and wished I were a student and could skip the classes and sleep in my bed, tucked in warm sheets. However instead of falling into dreams, I got up and went to school. Most of the students couldn't make it to the first hour, so I went to my office and had breakfast. Later, I heard that some of my students went to cinema, some didn't even leave home and some strolled around the city. What about you? How was this morning for you?
