Dear diary,

Today was like every day. I wake up early and had my breakfast. Soon after, we set off with my father. Like everyday there was a traffic jam. Yet, this time, it was better as they made a new road but not great. I had Turkish lesson. In Turkish lesson we were supposed to do presentations and every week some people did their presentations. I already had done mine last week so I just listened to others’. I had no other lesson so I returned home. It takes like one hour twenty minutes every day. Yesterday night I had slept late so when I got home I slept a little. Then I did the same things as previous days such as studying, doing home works, reading books, looking at computer a little. Yet today I had to finish a homework from education which I really didn’t enjoy doing it. Tomorrow was the deadline. After finishing it although it wasn’t very well done I went to bed.

Dear diary,

Today I woke up at the same as yesterday. I had my breakfast same things at the same time in the same way. Today I had only one course, second foreign language. Fridays, my mother takes me to metro. Then I go to school with metro. Mornings and evenings metro and bus are very crowded and terrible and as every day I took them to come and go to school. After lesson I walked to the education faculty as our education teacher wanted homeworks to be handed in by going there not by internet. Then I handed it to him. I returned home. I studied, did homeworks, read book and wasted time a little. Then I went to sleep. My all days are same.

Dear diary, I am in Ankara at the moment. I can’t say I really liked the city. It is average I think. Maybe it is because where I came from, Marmaris. With no sea, lack of green and gigantic buildings, Ankara didn’t appear to my taste. I came here yesterday because I will have my proficiency exam tomorrow and I am kinda anxious about failing the exam because; even though it is not the end of the world, since I studied English at high school and I am going to study at the foreign language education department, it seems pointless to take preparation school lessons. Wish I had studied at least just a tiny bit. I wouldn’t be anxious if I did... Oh! And also, it is going to be my first visit to my new school METU! I am so excited about it. Maybe I can find some of my new classmates that I had talked earlier on the WhatsApp group of ours. I also have to find a place to rent as my new home since the school couldn’t provide a dormitory room for me. I am going to sleep now, at least will try to. I have lots of things to do tomorrow.
Wish me luck.
İhsan

Dear Diary ,

It is my birthday today . At first it was a rainy day and it wasalso cold . I wasn’t in my mood in the morning and also I had to go to my school .

So I got up and got dressed . Then I had my breakfast and leftthe house . I was shaking because of the cold weather whilewaiting for my school bus to come . After waiting 5 minutes , my school bus came and took us to school . I stepped in myclass and nobody cared . I thought my friends would come andsay ‘ Happy Birthday ! ‘  to me . But nothing like thathappened . I was really depressed and I was feeling lonely . I even secretly cried . I hoped that school was over soon and I could go home as soon as possible . After the lessons , schoolwas over and my friends came to me and asked whether I wasfree or not . I said that I was free and we went to the citycenter . We got in a random café . Then all of a sudden , somebody ejected snow spray all over me . I crawled to avoidit and then I stood up . I saw all of my friends standing andsmiling at me . I was so surprised and I started crying . Theyall came near me and hugged me one by one . Then we all sat down around a big table and started chatting . Middle of ourconversation , waiter brought my huge birthday cake . I wasamazed at that time because my birthday cake was withraspberry , my favourite one . My friends sang HappyBirthday song to me . Waiter put the cake in front of me and I made a wish then blew the candles . They all applaud . We ateall of the cake and my friends started to give presents to me .

I felt so happy today . I have never had a surprise birthdayparty until today . I will never forget this .
