something about ITU

Only 2 days left till the big day!!! If anyone reads this please wish me luck, lots of luck! I really need it...

I think the last time I was so stressed and nervous like this was before submitting and presenting my horrible graduation thesis. I was so scared the professors won't accept it and I will fail. At that time I had doubts ITU will ever end... I remember walking from metro station, passing through FEB building and then going down that little path which lead me to the building of my horrors- Electric Electronical Engineering Faculty of Istanbul Technical University. 

I remember early morning last minute studying in the metro (I could revise for the whole 20-25 mins!! haha like it will really make a big difference :)), frustrations after the exam that I will fail or will be on the edge of passing/failing the course. The best thing about ITU was studying with friends in the library. We would gather all in the library and the person who knows best would try to explain the subject to us. Then some will understand others won't and this explanation process will go on and on. The only courses I truly enjoyed were Humanities and Social Sciences. Too bad you could only take 3 of those. The last one was Introduction to Sociology by a  German teacher named Markus Dressler. I loved reading Max Weber and Durkheim. After taking that course I thought about studying sociology in a graduate school. I really don't know if it'll be possible in the future taking into consideration the financial aspects and also my bachelor's degree in engineering (why?!! why did I study it? :)) 

Looking at the bright side I got really good friends from ITU. Studying there away from  my home and my mother, I realized true friends whom you can rely on are very important in your life. It is generally hard to make good friendships which will last forever. I believe the friends who are very close to me right now have been tested with the school of life. Even though going to university and living away from home can be really frustrating sometimes, it is very important in the adaptation to independent life. So here I am grateful to my mother that  unlike most of the single Azeri mums she didn't want to keep me by her side and send me away from home to study.
