New semester officially began today. I'll finish my thesis on March hopefully. The problem is I have no desire to deal with it. I'm quite fed up with it and it all seems "empty" thank to my prof.

I have notebook (the computer, not the paper one :P)! At last! Although it's painful to use it right now, I'm glad I won't have to pack my desktop computer for Ankara. This notebook used to belong my aunt's husband who died 1,5 years ago. My aunt doesn't know or interested in using computers, so she gave it to me. It's painful to see his stuff, ( Read more... )
