!is magazine explain all of my memories, like dairy and about the early days which I spent in America.In fact I usually took many pictures with my cellphone camera. Especially on the way home from school. I have wanted a memorial from most of the scenes that I saw. Also when my professor told me make your magazine by own topic it was made good idea to pay attention more to my surrounded.I’m going say about from what I see around me. Because I walk to school every days. Half and hour to go, half and hour to come back. In fact totally one hour I’m out side, walk among the people, see odd events, new street, new places and new things. Everything is new. Here is another kind of life, As if I came from another planet. From A to Z. Even animals like lizards, squirrels, docks and raccoons, to trees and nature.I pay attention more to people, to their attitude, to their behaviour, to their houses, to the garbage on the street.

I just say that I miss these kindest people.I only want them here. They are my parents. My parent who are the lovely people love me a lot and everyday think about me, about me to feel comfortable and always when I think to them I cry, I really want to see them just for seconds and hug them.About my sister who I cant talk with her as much as talk with my parents, because she studied in another city and she cant access to Oovoo easily and she thinks about me a lot. And I just can put her picture on my desktop to see her more.I can’t say that how is the missing feeling is bad...

First day after eighteen days that I had to move and began new life independently. Especially when I look at my luggage and bags which it had special composition.I really feel bad and,

The hard days ,that I was looking for house. And How it was hard

the school.

appropriate roommate was harder.

Finally, I found one room in one house close to school. So I rent it . on one aspect it was good. Because on one hand my landlord was Turkish woman and her culture was similar to us a lot, on the other hand it wasn’t necessary to buy

At the end I settled in my room.

used to a home environments.

Even thefood I eat has changed. This is the grocery, where I am never happy.I think about how I had luxurious life and now I must go shopping by myself.It is very painful.....

The scenes which I grab my attention in the way of school to home.

which I grab my attention in the way of

Florida actually has a lots of attractions andwherever it can be fun and memorable.The policeman riding on the horse was one of the most amazing things which I saw in Florida.Because of these difference between my city and this city, as if I come from other planet like Mars.

Charming Florida

In the earlier days of living in Florida, I was curious to see popular places because I knew that when the time pass, I become busy and there is no time to visit them.

Then one day I made decision to go to Science And Discovery Museumalone.

Sometimes, in order to prove to my boyfriend that I’m not with someone, I am force to take pictures of myself where I am. For instance I had to say that I’m in library or I’m in gallery or I’m in university.

One of the amazing

thing which saw in this period was really interesting that

one man who played drums by

different kind of pots.

When I went out with my landlord to enjoy, I was

always worried about my study and I really couldn’t enjoy very well. But sometimes I told my self now you are out and cant come back to do your homework, So it is better to smile and enjoy.
