Welcome back… I thought that I would never say hello again in this blog but here I am…I want to start off this year with a quote, “This is my letter to the world That never wrote to me” (Emily Dickinson) Another year full of assignments and new concepts to explore, I must say that I enjoyed last year’s work very much and hope that this time will be as enjoyable as last time. Once again, my name is Aslı (you can call me Ash) and this year I will be blogging for the Current Iss
