to continue the
previous post.....
Does it mean that
my erasmus processes are all done by now? No.. Big NO! After I got my visa I
have to go to erasmus office in my university and bring along with me the copy
of these documents:
- Passport
- Visa page
- Insurance
By showing them
to the erasmus coordinator, he or she will give a checklist next to your name
which means that you have done a great job in dealing with all the erasmus
challenges, if I may say so. Moving on to the next step, you will be asked to
sign a bunch of agreement letters, these letters are what erasmus students
often call 'agreement with national agency or ulusal ajans, in Turkish
version'.
That also is a
huge sign that says you can breath in peace now, in case you have a hard time
taking breath while taking care of them.
A little bit of
information, national agency is an organization that is responsible for the
funding that you are about to get. I think, this agent is also a representative
of European Union who is deliberately appointed to take care of erasmus program
or education in general, in all of the countries that they (meaning EU) have
agreement with.
What's next?
Buy a plane
ticket, or whatever means of transportation that you choose to travel with.
And, have a safe flight!
Hope you enjoy
your program.
P.S:
NO! You are not
done yet… I don't want to give you a panic attack. For now, I am just gonna
shut my big mouth up. But really, up to now you may say that you have completed
your task. But NO! When you get to your destination, you will have to deal with
some bureaucratic stuff. And if you could deal it well until this step, then I
believe the rest will be so much easier for you. Or at least you grew
accustomed to dealing with bureaucracy; which is something good, because that
thing is something that you will be facing for your entire life.
When you have met
the term 'bureaucracy', it means that you truly are living. Otherwise, you are
just dreaming.
