Lake Lemon

I am going to introduce Lake Lemon. This is a lake in the north-east of Bloomington. Lake Lemon was built in 1952 as part of a water supply program for the city of Bloomington. However, nowadays you can go there for rowing, picnic, or just to have a peace of mind. It has been really peace and quiet on last few months. However, I really do not know how crowded it will be in the summer. You need to take E State Road 45 to get there from the town. It is 15 miles to drive from downtown, which usually takes almost 25-30 minutes to get there. I am also adding a picture of the lake, which is taken from panoramio.com

indiana university-1958

IEP was founded by Mr. Marlin Howard the Senior in 1958. At first, due to technological inadequacy of the transportaion, there were only few students coming to Intensive English Program. This pretty old picture shows, how IU and first IEP class was looking like in 1958. This is elective class of "How to use a Typewriter" lectured by Katherine Vlasov in the IEP. There were neither typwriter, nor a room for these braveheart teacher and her students. However, afterwards they succeed to built a class and buy a typwriter with the donations from government. Today, IEP has changed a lot. They do have many offices, room for lectures, and many students and teachers. :))

Hello Everyone!

I am Mustafa, from Turkey. I will be one of the contributors of this blog in this session. I am a graduate student of engineering, pursuing to have his Masters and PhD in USA. Currently, I am trying to decide where to go, Penn State or U of Arizona. Well, this is my fifth session in the IEP, and I have had a great chance to improve my English skills here. But also, there have been ups and downs in here, and finally I am glad that I am leaving after this session. Thanks for your time.
