Back to Ankara

Hi everybody,

I want to share some news with you about my life if you are interested. I quitted my job at Metu College in Manisa at the end of the first semester. If you wanna ask why, I can basicly say that the conditions were different from the Metu College in Ankara, as the former does not belong to Metu, but only gets consultancy. Whatever, I wanted to work for state schools and was appointed to Evren, one of the districts of Ankara, in February. It is a really small district of Ankara near Şereflikoçhisar and it is too far from Ankara; however it is a lively place with the Hirfanlı Barajı around. It was my third preference and it is one of the compulsory service areas.

I am happy to be here, doing my compulsory servise in Ankara near a barrage, though it is so far from the city. Of course, I cannot compare my new school to the college I worked for the last semester in any respect, esspecially in terms of students' English level, but I believe I will do whatever I can for them as I am the only English teacher at the school. I live in the district and trying to get used to the life here. I will be in Ankara for the most of the weekends, so if you are around and wanna see me, we can meet and drink sth. For now, see you...
