WEEK 2 - My highlight: "Astronaut Scott Kelly"

The weekend is up to come and I can't believe how quick time passes. I just slept till 2pm today because I realized, I haven't had enough sleep since Houston. Yesterday, Enes had his 21st birthday and the night before and last night we gathered on my Hall's rooftop - which was kind of a very familiar feeling. The first time since I am here, I felt like if this would be my home, I would feel good, too. So means that I really got used to everybody, doesn't it? At this point I have to thank Olga, Karen, Sara and Mariama because they had such big spirit when organizing everything and they showed me that you don't have to know a person for very long to feel the need to make them happy. Appreciation, girls!

However, it was a very hard week, too. After the lectures on BLM, there was that lecture on ISIS (yes, I know, I still didn't upload mine and Enes' article but I will whenever Dr. Noor corrects our mistakes in language use, cause it's a serious thing you know :P ).

But somehow, the most intereting event this week was last night, when Scott Kelly, the astronaut, who had a one-year mission in space, hold a lecture at Trinity.  I think there were more than three thousand people there and it was great to be in the same room with such a brave person. Even though I did not quite understand, why he didn't tell us what effects this had on his body, both physiologically and emotionally, because that was the actual topic of the lecture. Well he did talk about it for like 5 minutes, but what he rather did: He tried to make us understand that EVERYBODY can do everything, as long as they take the risk to lose other things that might seem essential in their lives. For me, that was pretty important to hear, because I am that kind of "alrounder" who never focusses on one thing and this problem chased me for a long time.
