End of Summer

By all these lovely tokens September days are here, with summer's best of weather and autumn's best of cheer.
— Helen Hunt Jackson

And suddenly it’s September. The humidity is starting to dissipate and it’s cooling off enough after the sun goes down that we haven’t had to run the air conditioner upstairs at night.

I had a visit from my niece and great-niece last week. They stopped here for lunch on their way from Hamilton to Ottawa where the great-niece will be starting college. What a great place to go to school – Ottawa is such a beautiful city. And she’s taking a course in creative writing, which I also envy.

It seems like just yesterday that we were driving the daughter up to York University to start her educational adventure. Now her daughter is preparing to start grade one tomorrow. Next thing you know she’ll be off to college. Where does the time go? *sigh*

Seeing as summer is winding down, we had to have one last girls’ day adventure. We started out with Jungle Cat World, which is a small zoo but has a large variety of big cats. We picked a good day and time. The day started out cool and we got there early enough that the animals were pretty perky. I think it helped that they get fed in the morning. We watched one of the keepers feed a serval (who was food aggressive, reminding us of the daughter’s cat) and she was really good about telling us about the cat and answering questions.

The granddaughter even made a few new friends.





The zoo was followed by lunch, and then a shopping spree for back to school clothes. And scrunchies. Many, many scrunchies. LOL

The following day some of the hubby’s family from Ottawa were down and we had a barbeque. Any excuse to indulge in the wide variety of sausages that are made in-store at one of the local grocery stores. ;-)

I still can’t believe that those crazy kids went swimming. The temperature of the pool was only 70F. But they had fun running around afterwards, raiding my vegetable garden, and playing with the bubble gun I got the grandbaby at the beginning of the summer. Please note the fountain full of bubbles.



As endings to summer go, this one was pretty darn good.

تحصیل در ترکیه بدون مدرک زبان
Having a language certificate is considered one of the immigration restrictions for those who are interested and willing to study in Turkey or any other country. Learning the language and strengthening it is considered essential in educational migration. Of course, about having a language certificate to study in Turkey, we must say that it is possible in many Turkish universities that you can get admission in most Turkish universities without the need for an English language test.

According to the feedback we have received from eighth grade students and their parents regarding their satisfaction with the eighth grade math education package, we have found our way in preparing and completing this package. One of the strengths of آموزش ریاضی هشتم package is point-by-point instruction and providing tricks for solving math problems, which are provided by the course instructor. Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of the students in the classroom, we have tried to consider all points in preparing this package.
