50 Days Blog

Hey, it has been a very long time since I wrote my last post. Actually, it was about 50 days ago, when I was in Canary Wharf, London.

The last 50 days were so busy that I didn’t want to write anything until I had the time to do it properly. In this post, I will only mention the last two months and the next two weeks ahead of us.

After my London visit, I came back to Istanbul for a couple of days, and then I went to Ağrı to visit my parents and also complete some agricultural work, such as spreading fertilizer on the harvest fields. After a full week of work and enjoyment, my sister Öznur and I headed to Vienna for her master’s. Yes, after lots of hard work and sincere effort, she got into her dream program at the University of Vienna. To be honest, I couldn’t be happier, because she deserves the best, and she will be living in Vienna, where I did my Erasmus. The twist is that when I was doing my Erasmus, she couldn’t make it to visit me in Vienna and was so sad about it, but in the end we went there together, and now she will spend years there.

After my Vienna trip, I came back to Istanbul as my university started, and I managed both my classes and my internship. We have now come to the end of the COP31 preparation, and the real work begins, since very soon we are traveling to Antalya for COP31. I am very excited to be part of this event on the EBRD side.

I can definitely say that I have learned a lot in these four months at EBRD, especially about country platforms, MDBs, protocols, and COPs, and I have met amazing people. Special thanks to the admin team for always supporting and leading me, I love them.

I wanted to write a small post this time as well, to preserve some memories. Hopefully, the next blog will be broader content rather than a summary. Take care, stay tuned!
