Planning Meeting and internship

Recently I went to Craiova. It was my first trip there. Craiova is a nice place, I really liked it except for the heat, but at this time is hot almost everywhere in Romania. It was nice seeing again the EB members of AIESEC Craiova, meeting some of the members and their trainees from England.
After staying in Craiova for 3 days we went to Cozia where they had the Local Planning Meeting. For me LPM is my favorite conference in AIESEC because there are all the members planning activities, creating new projects, sharing their ideas and having fun. This year for me it was a little bit different because I've experienced the conference form a different position, as coach, and my involvement was basically in coming up with feedback, ideas and support. But still it was nice and I liked it.
When the summer started I had no idea what I will be doing this summer but as the time passes by things are getting more clear. I had my first visit in Craiova and I'm keeping in contact with them on emails, and I started an internship at OMRO, a company in Tg.Mures. I just ended my first week there. I had the chance to see a little bit how is it to run a business and to work a little bit on HR because my supervisor was out of town. So far it was nice and interesting.

Can't wait to see what will happen next.

Traveling

This month seams to be great, so far at least. I traveled a little bit and it seams I will travel some more until the end of summer, it's true that only in Romania but it's ok because everywhere I go I meet great people and have a great time.
I started the month by going to Bucharest for the Regional Coaches preparation. There where two hot days but it was nice because with the Development team we planned our activities for this year, we meet with the old regional coaches that shared a little bit of their experience. There were two interesting things that happened that confirmed once again that the world is small. While I was in Bucharest 2 guys from Holland came, with the Ambassadors program, they knew the two girls from Holland that were in Mures last year at Peninsula.
Probably so far nothing interesting because in AIESEC things like this happen all the time (that's why it's an international organization and people from different countries know each other). On the way back from Bucharest in the maxi taxi there was a person that at first I thought I will never see again. It was a teacher of mine from the 9th grade. He lives now in Canada and came to Romania to spend his holiday. It was really nice seeing him again but also strange, because who would have thought I will see my teacher in that maxi taxi.
This week I went with my parents to my favorite place in Romania, to Fagaras Mountains. I was really nice driving on the Transfagarasan, seeing some snow, climbing the mountain and reaching its top. From there we went to Sambata, a monastery nearby. When we arrived there I was really surprised to see some familiar faces, the MC team of AIESEC RO where there having their teambuilding. Who would thought I will meet them there. One again the world is small (or at least Romania). Afterwards we went to Sinaia where we spend to nice days, far away from the heat.
Now I am preparing for a new "trip" to Craiova, where I will spend a week with a great team, working and planning stuff for AIESEC. Can't wait to get there to see them all.
Preparing for the way, hope it won't be that hot

Ending a chapter

There has been a while since I opened my account to post a new message on this blog. Why? I don’t know.

Anyway there have been many things that happened lately. I ended some chapters of my life, started new things. I just ended the 3rd year of university and started my summer holiday. I’m so happy that finally it’s here. I don't know for sure, for the first time in the last to years, what I will do this summer but I'm sure it will be great.

In May I said goodbye to my EB team from 06-07 at the Take Over Gala in Sovata. It was a nice moment to be in from of AIESEC Tirgu Mures for the last time as an EB team, to share our feelings, to see what this experience meant for each one of us. I liked that moment a lot because it was full of emotion and really touchy. I will never forget my colleagues, the moments we shared together for one year, this great experience that made me the person I am today.

Now I’m working with another team, it's a little bit different because there are many kilometers between us and we communicate mainly using the internet. This month I will spend one week with them and I’m really excited about that. I can’t wait to go in Craiova and see them.

I plan also to go to the mountains for a few days, relax, have fun and find something interesting to do after I get back in Mures.

Until then I’m preparing for 2 days of preparation in Bucharest that will help me this year make a great job as Regional Coach.
