Mixture of feelings

I’m happy for Erika, she was elected MC VP TM in AIESEC Hungary. AIESEC Tg.Mures proved again it has valuable people that are appreciated abroad. After Romeo was elected in the MC of AIESEC Bahrain and Tamas in the national support team (NTT) it was Erika’s turn to get where she deserves. I wish them all a great experience this year, an experience that will help them grow, learn and make their dreams come true.

I’m nostalgic when thinking that time passes by so fast. It is like yesterday when I first got in an NGO. Yesterday I’ve seen Laura, an old friend from LOC. It was really nice seeing her, we talked about how great those times were, how much fun we had, and how nice were the camps. Afterwards I’ve spend some time with Cody and I’ve told her some funny stories from AIESEC, from all the LPMs I’ve been to. Can’t believe there are so many things that have changed but also so many things that are being “reinvented”. It’s recruitment time in AIESEC and on Monday I went to the Big Picture. All the memories I have from the past recruitments came back into my memory. I see some things being improved but unfortunately also mistakes that are done again and I’m sad to see that. Hope they will realize this and they will recover. Hope they will reach their objectives and new members will join and see how great AIESEC is.

I’m optimistic that this year will be a good one at work, that the situation we are going through this year will pass and will help us improve our activity.

I’m tired of learning and preparing projects for master but I have to. This year I will finish hopefully both with the second university and with the master. No more school for me in the following years.

I’m disappointed that many people around me are not open minded, that they are constrained by tradition and they do things just because “this is the way” having no explanation for the reason it is this way, not thinking by themselves and doing things just because others told them to do.

I’m scared in making some changes in my life, things that I’ve postponed so much, changes that must be done and that will change my life and will influence people around me.

I’m worried for some dear people that are not feeling very well. Hope there’s nothing bad with them and that they will get better.

I’m ready for the next days. I’m happy the weekend is coming and I will have some time to relax and hopefully meet with some friends.

I don’t want to plan any more. I just want to let myself surprised.

Favorite days of the week

Definitely my favorite days of the week are Saturday and Sunday and eventually Friday evening. Why? Because it’s then when I have some time for myself, I have time to relax and sleep some more in the morning (1 extra hour really counts). After busy weeks with work and study at master and other stuff the weekend is most welcomed.
Last weekend was great. On Saturday morning I meet again with some friends for an interesting study afterwards I went to Sovata to LPM (Local Planning Meeting) – it’s odd that now I have to explain what these acronym means, I was so used with people around me understanding every time what I say but now things have changed – on the way I saw some beautiful full rainbows. The conference was nice, I really like LPMs. I didn’t attend many sessions, I preferred staying and talking with people, respecting the tradition and making another movie, relaxing and enjoying a wonderful time. The conference gave me a lot of energy, especially the session when we wrote some words of encouragement to one another. Despite the lack of sleep I was full of energy when I came back, energy that helped me pass this week.
The last weekend ended with a great surprise, some friends prepared a special evening for us (the girls) for 8th of March. Good food, music and funny moments was the perfect combination for ending a great weekend.
Again it’s weekend, a different one, no conference but great time this morning with some friends again for an interesting study, time to sleep and relax. Tomorrow it’s a new Sunday that I want to enjoy. No plans yet but I hope it will be great.
