Photos Of Bahçeşehir Park

As of this morning, I no longer have a Facebook account. Actually, that's not entirely true. When you deactivate a Facebook account, a few things happen.

First, they make you tell it why you're leaving, complete with a compilation of your friends' profile pictures with the caption, "So and so will miss you." When you choose the reason you're leaving, the site gives you a bunch of tips and links to help you solve the problem. Helpful, but annoying as hell. And also completely irrelevant to what I wanted - My problem was that I didn't find the site useful, and its solution was a combination of making more friends and using the site more often to network with them.

Second, my profile doesn't come off the internet. I really wanted to remove all the Sam Goldsmith from the Facebook world that I could. Turns out it's all still there, waiting for me to "reactivate" my account. I guess it's not so bad that people can still look at the photos I've posted, but I wouldn't have posted any of them if I knew they'd be on the Internet forever.

Anyone know of a way I can completely delete everything on my Facebook account? Any tips would be much appreciated. I'm really peeved about this.

In better news, the weather let up for an afternoon today (it's been snowing off and on for a week and a half) so I went down to the park and took some pictures. Hope you like them!

On - I Mean "Off" - Facebook

I've decided to terminate my facebook account, and I'll do so by the end of this week. I've had so many random strangers messaging or friending me, not to mention "friends" I don't even know inviting me to events I'd never go to. The only advantage I see is the chance to easily share photos with a ton of people. Now that I'm not playing concerts anymore, which was the reason I got a facebook account in the first place, there's really no advantage to it. So I'm cutting it off. See ya.

Coming soon: Next week is parents' meeting week. It's going to ruin me. They last from 4:00 until 7:30 with no break and, rumor has it, no food. I will perish, especially on Monday when I teach all day long (I've heard teaching seven lessons in a day is illegal in the Sates, but that's definitely not true here). Needless to say, I probably won't be making many posts next week.

Also, an ammendment to yesterday's post: The Christmas trees are popping up everywhere. I'm very confused.
