2. Please tell me why Elaine?

Why did you run away with Benjamin Elaine? Why? Why?

Thanks to digitürk, I have watched "The Graduate" for several times but it was the first time that I watched it as a whole.
No need to mention that this movie covers several different topics from several different aspects.

I would like to start from the thing that made me think about a lot, I just can't understand why Elaine left with Benjamin. Everybody knows that he is wrong, she knows this, but still she left with him. I don't know he had an affair with her mother and this didn't stop her. I just can't understand. What kind of love is this? They say, love is blind and sometimes I believe this but in Elaine's situation, it is unbelievable.

About the phony adults vs real adolescents I believe it is very hard to draw a straight line between them because everybody is different and everybody changes. There might be phony adults and there might be phony adolescents. For example, the man Elaine was going marry was a phony adolescent. Moreover by having an affair with Mrs. Robinson doesn't make Benjamin's world more real. I believe there are some other things that will make their life more real. It wasn't even love..

About the generational conflict, I know it is a cliche but we have it all the time and now it seems very normal to me. Yesterday my mom told me that only I am going to be responsible for the mistakes that I did when I am young. The things she calls mistakes makes me smile but I try not to rebel, I try to understand her. I wish Benjamin and Elaine had a different story but unfortunately it is not possible.

I guess I will continue after today's class discussion..

1. A late post

I was going to write about this before but I just couldn't.
I was very happy to Sonja's smiling face on Monday and I will be glad that we are together, again.
Also I am happy that 4 of us are still in the same section.
I am sure Sonja will understand how I feel, now I have both Mac Os X and Windows in my Macbook, Valea and it hurts a lot.
I have Windows because of the program called Visual Studio for CS 201.
This ruined my first week, I waited for 4 hours without doing literally nothing.
Actually there were some other things that ruined my first week but anyway, now it is the beginning of the second week and everything will be fine...

Ha ha Haaaaa : )

I guess nobody will recognize this post but Sonja.

So,

Dear Sonja,

I feel wonderful wonderful wonderful : )
It is maybe because of snow, maybe because I can sleep now but I am just happy.
very very very happy : )

28. Goodbye

28 is my lucky number. I don't know why, I don't even believe in luck but anyway, I love 28.

This is my last post and I really don't know what to write.

I started to write about the things related to our course but then it changed a lot by the time.

I even wrote about my sincere feelings.

I don't like to say goodbye but goodbye everyone.

I hope everything that will make you happy will come true...

27. THE EXAM

I will be in FENS L045 in 90 minutes, writing my English exam but before that I need to do something more important.
Something that will keep me strong during the exam.
Something that will help me to gather all the information during the exam.
Something that will make me happy.
Something that will... ok that's enough.
Before the exam we are going to cook risotto in the kitchen.

I wish good luck to everyone. :)

26. Just a questionnaire

Hello everyone,

I found a questionnaire for a research project and thought that it will be nice if we help her.

It doesn't take that much time so here is the link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=eAEuY5w9HXaHD4zfPY5fpvKtBnPY5NQEiZHGkpa5NFQ%3d&

25. RadyoSU

I hope everyone is aware of that Sabancı University has a radio.
Like my fellow Ayşe, I and one my friend Nil are have a program.
Ayşe is the owner of the program called "İzlenen Nağmeler".
This program is between 21.00-22.00 every Thursdays.

Our program is called "Gece Kaleydoskobu Bahçesi".
I guess you think that it is a very interesting name and you are right this name has a story.
I hope everyone is familiar with the channel "TRT Çocuk".
This channel is for the kids and the ones who feel like kids.
In that channel there is a program called "Gece Bahçesi" and when I watch that program I feel very patient and peaceful.
Also I hope everyone is familiar with the toy called kaleidoscope.
We combined these two peaceful and colorful ideas and this is how the "Gece Kaleydoskobu Bahçesi" is born.

If you would like to listen it, go to www.radyosu.org and click "canlı dinle" then it will open.
You can listen us every Mondays at 20.00 o'clock.
Like dear Can, if you want to call and ask for a song for your beloved ones you are welcome.
If you are calling from the campus it is: 9475 and outside from the campus: 0216 483 94 75.

Lots of different songs and surprises are waiting for you... just one click.
