Heading For A PhD

Today i read my master thesis for the first time after i submitted on September. It has been seven months since i haven't read a single word from it. Do you know the feeling of when you study too long on something, put efforts on it days, weeks and months, reach a point that you can't stand seeing it anymore and it gives you a literal vomitous feeling? Yeah, i was pretty much at that point. But today, with that sense comes from out of nowhere, i managed to read my thesis sentence by sentence and i kinda like it. I respected the work that i wrote in the stressful and dark times that i no longer live in the UK and had a lot of distractions. I even have to look at a dictionary several times while reading it. That means i created such a complicated and talented work which i cannot fully understand now. And i proud of myself. Why i am writing this? To show off my work? Hell no. Lately, i have the fear of an upcoming PhD. The thought of “what the heck am i gonna do on the ...

The Unsinkable Ship

I gotta start studying maritime law again but where to begin? I think rewatching an unsinkable ship to sink might be a good start. Yes, you're right. I am talking about the Titanic. These days i am feeling myself like the violinists who play their music while the ship is sinking. But if the ship is going to sink anyway, why would you panic, right? I don't dare to criticize one of the best movies of all time, obviously. But i must say that i was quite surprised in the end when i realized tears on my eyes. Because i rarely cry on movies and yet, i watched quite a lot of dramatic and romantic movies.  I was abstaining to talk about the movie since it is a very old and wonderful movie. However, i can't see anything holding me back so here we go.  In my opinion, Titanic has, if i am not mistaken, most romantic love story ever. I think that's why i was quite emotional in the end. There were two people who clearly are not suitable for each other but still end up toge...

My German Adventure

Why am i writing this blog post? Honestly, i am not sure about the answer. But i do know that this is not a post of how to learn the German language. I think i just wanted to make a note to future myself. I may kind of enjoy reading the journey when i finally became an advanced speaker.  But for now, i suck at it.  Where to begin? My first German learning period started in the second year of high school, i guess. We had a wonderful teacher and this went for two years. For the last year of high school, i learnt nothing like every student who is preparing for the university entrance exam. But in a kind of funny way, when i started university, all my German knowledge has gone. I think the reason behind that is, high school language education is mostly based on grammar information and i didn't support it with books and movies at all. In the second year of university, i bought a German grammar book and had a strict routine which includes waking up at 6 ev...
