We had our end-term exams last week. It was quite a challenge, but when I had the exam paper I noticed that even without studying hours and days I could have answered most of the questions because I had attended all the classes and I had learnt the subjects in the class. The exams are done in one week so we had one or two exams each day. But I have to say that the best thing about exams is the feeling after exams. I was so relieved and a little bit care free. After all that stress I believe I deserved it.
After the exam week, the holiday which everybody was looking for has started. I was on the top of the world. I had nothing to do and just waiting for my fly back to Istanbul. However I could not stop worrying, since the weather was snowy and some flights were cancelled. It was something out of my control so to keep myself busy I went Christmas shopping with my friend. I wanted to buy a couple of presents for my family and friends in Istanbul. We went to Hammersmith, because there is a great discount store there and you can find all the famous brands for clothing. It was really crowded. Everybody was shopping for the Christmas since there was only one week.
After the shopping we were going back to home and we saw a man selling Christmas trees. We decided to buy one to feel the real Christmas spirit. It was not a good idea because we had to carry it to home and we had to take the tube from Hammersmith to the centre. I was so embarrassed in the tube, because everybody was looking at us, who carries a Christmas tree by tube anyway. But it turned out to be ok apart from my hands covered with mud and resin.
After all that shopping I was really tired and had a flight tomorrow in the morning, so I decided to go bed early. The day after that I went to Stratford via Central Line and I caught coach from there to Stansted Airport. It was 30 minute journey. I was lucky to fly from Stansted because Heathrow and Gatwick Airports were closed due to heavy snow.
When I went there I checked in immediately and I went to most interesting part of airport, duty free shops. I had a breakfast there and spent two hours shopping. I bought presents for my family and friends, and bought a perfume for myself.
The journey was really good for me because it was in the morning so I was sleepy and I slept for four hours in the aircraft. The seats which are next to me were empty so I can say it was a proper sleep. When I opened my eyes, we were flying above Istanbul. I was so excited because I was going to see my friends and my family after three months.
