STUFFED!

Fighting for survival for decent brochures,pens and information on colleges.

26th September 2008, a shiny and great day for college fairs started at 1900 hours and ended at 2200 hours. Many students and IGA community members joined this grand fair partially because it was free that was put on by the Council of International Schools at the Hilton Hotel. To learn about universities, talk to college reps the minibus took them around the busy and narrow streets of Istanbul, Turkey. A lot of students gathered pens many forgetting to collect brochures, they had a great time.

“Overall it was a really neat experience to see possibilities for the future and enjoy the extravagant atmosphere of the Hilton”. Deirdre said.

But the IGA community members weren’t the only ones; there were an estimate of 600 to 700 students primarily from Turkish high schools. This fair has been held every fall at the Hilton Hotel giving many new and same students the opportunity to revisit or visit new colleges.

As Sarabeth said, “Hopefully this fair was used not only to supply us with many colorful pens, but to let us get just a glimpse of what could be.”

Hungry Wolf Killed by Pork

Three helpless pigs and their homes were razed by a ravenous wolf.

5 year young pig brothers that lived on a peaceful field have been attacked by a 4 year young wolf. Investigators report that the wolf has been fasting and wasn’t able to hold his hunger.

Alfred and Bob the first of the three pig brothers have been terrified by the wolf huffing and puffing their straw and stick houses down. Chris the smartest of all pig brothers had luckily built a house of bricks saving the rest of his brothers from the ravenous wolf. Chris said, “I know I am the smartest in the family, I was just waiting for an opportunity like this in order to prove it to my other brothers. But I do feel for that hungry wolf, no one ever got to know what he was fasting for.”

After a tiring day of blowing homes down, Holmes the 4 year young wolf’s bones have been found in Chris’s caldron quite impossible to figure out the true identity of Holmes.

“I hope insurance would pay for the damage the wolf has caused but with AIG disappearing, I’ll have to live here. You’re welcome to come and taste our wonderful wolf soup, it’s delicious!” Alfred says.

“Oink!” Bob exclaims.
