ok...got back from istanbul

had a great holiday...the concert was extremely fantastic!!! one of the most enjoyable performances i have ever watched..

ian brown sang almost everything from stone roses to his own albums..his performance was massive..i was at the front line but close to the left edge where the speakers were...so i couldnt have had a great satisfaction in terms of technical sound stuff..but the setlist was cool and the performance was cool for sure...i m glad there were no violence or anything..

super furry animals...yaaay to them! i got a setlist!:)
the problem with them was the setlist actually...they could play very good songs instead of some sleepy ones back to back...i think there were lots of people who actually did not have a clue about who they are and those kinds of songs are not really attractive for most people...i liked them though:) anyways...they could have at least played the golden retriveer!...i guess they were a bit shocked to be the headliner..

there were rumors that ian brown had a problem with them being the headliner...
anyways:)

my grandpa is not well:( he is in hospital now..he has 2 of his veins stuffed and needs to have an operation tomorrow morning...the doctors said that he may not survive...:(( this is the sad news today...

gotta go now..
*mwaahs*

i got my tori amos ticket today...and i ll be watching ian brown and super furry animals on saturday...so i m leaving for istanbul on wednesday...

anyways...i met with hazar and ahsen today and went to ulus...ahsen and i are great fans of beads...we like to work with them...we create necklaces and bracelets when we have time...so we had some time and we went there to get some...we got plenty of 'em actually:) loved them aaaallll!!:)

i may post some of the stuff i ve created and put together...

we need to arrange a place to stay during our presence in istanbul...maybe a youth hostel or something...dont know...we ll see what will happen there:) *excited*

i m done with school...*yaaays*

now i m more into concerts and gigs:) i ll be watching sonic youth this tuesday and super furry animals and ian brown on 11th of june...

btw i ll be doing my last radio show tomorrow...that s pretty emotional:( i hope i wont get all teared up!!...i m very sad that i have to also graduate from the radio...

also i decided to change my icon...so here s my new icon:

i liked the colors a lot...

i got a tori amos album adversitement from a record store so that maybe i may have a chance to get it signed after the performance on the 10th of july...that s exciting...:)

on 8th of june, i ll be leaving home for the super furry animals/ian brown concert and i need to arrange a place to stay...for 3 nites...i dont like istanbul a lot...very complicated, crowded place to live in...

i was with alper today...the day was good but in the end we ended up arguing again...don t know what will happen to us:(

anyways..that s more or less what i ve done today.

*mwaahs*

2005-05-25T05:04:33Z

today two things happened...these actually cancel each other...well, sort of...

first...i ve learned that the cure have stated on their website that they will be coming to Turkey on 3rd of september...that was the best things that could happen in this country...when i read this my hands shook...i m still pretty excited on this..

second...i ve figured out that the back window of my car has either been boomed or it boomed itself...that was one of the worst things that could happen on these finals week...nothing is stolen...it s just been broken that s it...i ll take it to its service and maybe have to leave it there for a couple of days...

anyways...today started neutral:)

i m finally done with my spanish exam...now it s time to hang up to applied economic analysis exam for friday...

i decided to take a small rest today and did not study anything. i m just surfing along the web to collect more information on the schools i got offers from..

oh! i ve received my yearbook today and looked through it:) i got emotional though eheh

today was our 11th month together and he hasnt called yet...i will not call till he calls:)) that s the most girlish thing i ve done nowadays:)

i need to get my car washed...it s been 3 months now:))

i ve learned today that belle & sebastian has released their new album...better check that out sometime soon...

oh btw...i ve realized i havent put any pixies lately..so here are some:

me in the sun:)

my lovely harmonica player...

i ll be posting some more later on..

elderlywoman @ 2005-05-23T20:33:00

2005-05-23T17:41:15Z

ok...now because somehow it all cleared up itself, i have to write everything down all over again...that s annoying!!

anyways, i got a great music exam yesterday...i guess i ll get full points on that:)

but they re not over yet of course...i got the spanish exam tomorrow...that s a bit scary though *bites nails*

alper did not call me throughout the day...he used to call me everyday but today he just didnt...i dont know how is it going to be but i feel the end is near..ironically tomorrow is our 11th month together...

pfff...sooo tired today...all i did today was to eat and to study spanish...what a waste of time!!! Turkish is a very different language from any of the latin languages and that makes almost every language non-translateable to Turkish...those article stuff for example...i had to spend my whole childhood to understand what those are:) now i know three foreign languages --sort of-- and still there are lots of unclear things to me...for example i don t understand the difference between the usage of "para que + presente de subjuntivo" and "para + verbo infinitivo"...in Turkish there is no strict differences between those:)

anyways...

better get to work:((

2005-05-22T05:45:34Z

i ll have my third final today...it s a musical appreciation course...the final is 50% and that s what stresses me the most..

i need to listen to some frank sinatra, miles davis, paganini, muddy waters kinda songs all mixed up...also i need to write down 10-15 jazz musicians in order to get full bonus...my mind will get dizzy for sure:) this course should be an A course...i m working hard on it *lol* my GPA should be...no it must be over 3.00.

if i cant get to a master s program, i will be dropping down from an highly educated student to an ordinary unemployed...that s weird:(

anyways...we got an argument with alper last nite...a 3 hour-long telephone talk and continuing internet logs...tough night...:(

well...it s sooo early in the morning and i need to go to school soon and work!!! work work....that s all i do within the last few months....i need a looong break before i go and have my MSc...

what should i do on the last day of the finals?...the last day of school...thinking about that...

"We're recording but not really putting any pressure for something to actually come out of it," frontman Eddie Vedder told former Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones on his Friday radio show, Jonesy's Jukebox, which emanates from Los Angeles radio station KDLD-FM (Indie 103.1).

ok...

my toefl score came by mail yesterday...i got a 260/300...the universities i am applying want a range of the minimum toefl score between 237 and 250. So that is a good score i guess...

from the writing part i got a 6/6 which i thought was impossible...that surprised me the most:)
my essay topic was "live performances are more enjoyable than watching on television. do you agree or disagree with this statement"..that was probably the best topic i could write about..:)

anyways...

i need to see a doc today 'cause i got some skin problems in my neck...:(

oh yes...i need to buy something to alper for the valentines day...this will be my first valentines day:)) everytime i had a boyfriend, we either start some time after the valentines day or break up some time before the valentines day...so thats exciting:)

i took the music theory and history class just for fun...i told the instructor that i play harmonica and you really had to see him going mad!!:)
"oh my!! you re the first time in the history of this course to play the harmonica!!"...his name is janusz sprotz...sweet man:)

in that class i have to hand in 3 concert reports...not only classical music or jazz but anything counts...so i ll be seeing a couple of bands within 2 months i hope...cake is coming to istanbul...i m not so keen though...i will be watching the chopin jazz trio which play the chopin songs in a jazzy way...that should be interesting...alsooo there ll be an 80s new wave party soon...and i have a chance to get in free...quite exciting!:)

so anyways i ll be reviewing them here i guess

my new bookshelf will arrive tomorrow so i need to make my room ready for it...thats a tough thing to dooo *whines*

also i will be applying to some schools online tonight...one is the university of warwick and the other is the university of nottingham...the others, i will be posting my stuff right to the schools...
