Busiest Week

Quickly after the conference week we found out Secretary John Kerry would be coming to Vienna to the Iran talks. Preparations and logistics were worked out between UNVIE and his team. Normally the interns will stay at the office working from there but both myself and Larry were asked to part of the team in helping. Grateful and honored that my UNA team felt confidence in me to help! We had a great time working behind the scenes with Kerry's staff who are amazing people! 
During this exciting week I also got even more awesome news!! I received my care package from my family πŸ’–πŸ‘ͺπŸ’žπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ In it came the most beautiful letter from my baby brother, snacks, favorite drink, and winter accessories! 
Had a blast this week and I'm ready for the weekend go relax and complete my mid-term exams! Will continue to update ya'll!! 

Much love,
Stefany πŸ’–

October 2014

It has been a hectic couple of weeks with various conferences going on at the United Nations. I've had some late nights and great weekends from meetings, receptions, briefings, & adventures. The past few weekends we (Larry & I) have been picking a tram and or Strassenbahn to hop on and see where it took us. Best idea ever! Here are some pictures of our adventures. 



Throught the week I have been in and out of meetings and receptions as the US representative. Below are some pictures of events I've been to! 

This past Friday we got to hang with Eileen!! πŸ™ŒπŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ We went exploring Schwedenplatz & Rathaus! At Rathaus we found a small carnival/circus! Below are some more pics. 
Had tremendous fun with Larry & Eileen and can't wait to hang out with them again! We also had fun Sunday at Prater, the local amusement park. We went with another intern, August, BB, Connie, Daisy, Lilah,& Larry. Unfortunately I was forced to go through the Haunted house 😭 lol 

This week is my first "official" conference with responsibility of covering certain events! I'm nervous, excited, and enjoying learning over these multilateral issues. Meeting various delegates from around the world ranging from South Africa, Switzerland, Venezuela, Brazil, Tanzania, Pakistan, UK, Canada, Japan, etc...the list is endless.  

That's pretty much sums it up to now! Will continue to keep ya'll updated even though sometimes it will take a while! 

Love & Miss my home state Texas!! 

Sincerely,
Stefany
