Had a lecture between until 12.00 (Yes, I check tumblr on my breaks). I was supposed to go to the city hall but I didn’t have time. Now, I am back at home to do some homework and I will head out to a meeting for one of my group projects. I am so stressed out, all of my deadlines are next week and I feel like I won’t be able to finish everything! Trying to take one day at a time but all of this stress demotivates me and I don’t like it…

Well, this could be my kind of before and after. One yogurt and 30 minutes later I completed another chapter! Yay me!

Rainy day in Belgium, 3 days to my final. Went for a little walk and came back to continue working on Web and Text Analytics. It’s still fun :D 

Bu da benim önceki sonraki tarzım olabilir. Bir yoğurt ve 30 dakika sonra, bir bölüm daha tamamlamış oldum.

Hi everyone! Let me start by saying, I will be back for good next week with posts from my study sessions. This is the last week of my internship and I will be fully focusing on my thesis from now on. As much as my internship sucked in the first couple of weeks, I am so happy with the internship I did in the end! I loved what I worked on for the company and I will be applying for a position there. Let’s hope I get it! 

My boyfriend got an offer from one of the biggest optimization companies in Belgium. So he will be staying here and working. I am so damn excited for him. I am also thinking about staying here rather than going back to Turkey. It has been a tough decision for me but I feel like staying will be the best option for me. Turkey is so unstable with the political and economical situation there. So wish me luck in finding a job here in Belgium. I am lacking the confidence when it comes to looking for jobs because I feel like I am not enough but I need to leave this state of mind.

Still sick but I am feeling much better. Decided to leave the house and work on my thesis at my local Exki.

For the past two weeks I feel like time is just passing without me realizing it. I had 3 report deadlines on Monday and one for Tuesday so I have been taking it slow this week. And yes I have my Christmas tree up just because it makes me happy between all of this chaos. Did some studying but nothing intensive. Now off to French course!

Ok, I am terrible at keeping this tumblr active while I am working... But please give me credit I travel 4 hours in total every day! I have 19 work days to go so not much. I am working from home today like I did on Friday too. My company allows us to work from home and I am still not fully used to it! I feel like I am skipping work even though I am working, and I feel like everyone at the office thinks I am lazy and so on... Well, that is my toxic brain and of course the remnants of the work culture in Turkey. 

I also finished 3 books in 3 weeks and just ordered 2 more. I have missed reading like this and it makes me so happy to be back. The only reason I don’t read much faster is to ensure I don’t finish each book in 4 hours :D

One of my professors from Turkey was here for a doctoral defense (jury duty) so I got to attend the defense and have a little chat with her. She is more like my mentor/sister at this point and I am grateful for her. Doctoral thesis presented and the ceremony was just amazing. Many tears were shed. Later I completed my French homework for tomorrow. I like this language but it’s very difficult to learn.
