HOROSCOPES

                  Do you believe in horoscopes ?

    Some people believe in horoscopes and they are interested in astrology. In contrast, some people think it is such a silly thing because according to these people, human conducts are not relevant to their birthday. There are two different ideas about horoscopes. I think it is not silly because I have my horoscope’s speciality such as pessimistic, ambitious and distant. In fact, each capricorn person has not a capricorn's speciality therefore, horoscopes are a little bit illogical. Astrologers’ opinions are horoscopes features relevant with each person’s birthday, birth time and their rising sign. For instance, my horoscope is capricorn and my rising sign is Pisces . These are opposite, so sometimes I am very emotional and I cry for ridiculous things, sometimes I am very distant and the things that most people feel touched by seems absurd to me. What do you think? Do you have your horoscope’s features?  

When Nietzsche Wept

 

The book named 'When Nietzsche Wept' belongs to Irvın D. Yalom. I want to write about this book because it is my favarite book.(''Hope is the worst of all evils because it prolongs torture''. This sentence is my favorite sentence in the book.)   The book contains two philosopher. These are Friedrich Nietzche and Sigmund Freud. This book begins with Salome wants help for Nietzsche from the Breuer . Breuer is a very successful doctor, he has five children and a beautiful wife. Nietzsche is a philosopher nobody knows , he has only two published book, one suitcase and designed books in his opinion. Breuer accept Salome's offer because he want to see the girl again. Salome is a very charming woman. Nietzsche didn't know Salome talk with Breuer for him but Salome concinced to Nietzsche for going to the doctor. Nietzsche is very proud and he never accept help from anyone. Therefore, at first he didn't tell in his opinion and he didnot accept that he has mental problems. Nietzsche describe his body and soul  as two seperate parts so, he doesn't accept his bodily pains. Breuer's purpose is to show that the cause of his bodily pain is mental disorders. Nietzsche didn't want to tell something about hi special life and he decided to doesn't meeting with the doctor anymore. The while Breuer talk with Sig about Nietzsche . Essentialy, Sig is Sigmund Freud. Sig is Breuer's best friend and his student. Breuer always tell and ask something about his patients for improving Freud's practice and learning his opinions. One day, a man knock to Breuer's door and he say ' Nietzsche stay in my house and he is very sick' and he wants to help for Nietzsche from the doctor . Breuer was schocked because Nietzsche never want help to someone. 

    I don't want to tell details and the book's end because I think each person should be read this book and story is not exciting when someone tell the details . 

Why did I choosed philosophy department ?

  

I think a lot recently. Why did I choosed philosophy department ? I started thinking this way because I am worried about my future. I always ask myself  'Why did I changed my department ? '. Actually , I want to study law before exam but I changed my idea in  preference period because in my opinion  Boğaziçi University is the best University in Turkey and I always admire to Boğaziçi University  same time. I know doesn't sound logical because law and Boğaziçi University are not relevant. My tutor is studied in Boğaziçi and I guess I was very impressed by him because I always take an example  by him and his ideas are  very important to me . I am regret to choosed an English department because I am very gets hard and I can't speak English , I can't explain myself  . These are very  difficult to me . I don't believe myself about learning English . Probably , I will not regret when I start study in my department and maybe I will love philosophy department . I hope I get rid of these negative thoughts . I study law now so , I feel a little bit relieved because I did not give up my goal completely. By the way , my concern about my education life . I loved my friends I made here . Each person has different special feature. I made friends I will spend time after this year too. I met two wonderful person , these are  my teachers. To be honest , if I studied in Istanbul University faculty of law , I can't met lectures because these classes very crowded so, I am happy to be in a friendly classroom environment.
