Ok, I find it extremely interesting how our life style is changing and the way we are using the internet nowadays.
After just a few months I manage being tagged in 304 pictures on facebook. When I look at the pictures I realize how many things I've been doing the past months. I don't even have a digital camera, and still there are that many pictures around. It's a scary phenomenon!
Well, I can't complain. There are so many good memories. Here a few highlights:
Celebrating my birthday
My homegroup at EuroCo
Spending time with the Swiss delegation at EuroCo
Badenerfahrt with friends
Sweden, spending time with my family
Being random in Zurich this summer, while I was working in Baden
Evenings in the park with friends
Spending hours in the office working
Meeting amazing externals and having dinner with them and my LC
I can't help it. I start singing this song over and over again. I've been doing it for years now... Today is again one of these "I remember it well..." days...
So that's how it feels. After months and months of work, strategy, team building, planning, conferences, meetings, ups and downs, ... 100 interest forms! Hundred people who want to join AIESEC in Geneva! And we cannot take them all!
Now this has been my impression the past days:
I come home after 2 weeks of conference and find the office with 4 perfectly working computers (it has been years), wireless in the office and smiling faces!
The International Days event went smoothly and we had 53 people on our first Info Event.
We have two new Project Managers, the Emaniax Teams and the Alumni Event team have already had their first meeting and I only heard great things about the LCM.
When we had our EBM this morning and I asked about todays Info Event, I got the answer: "Oh, everything is under control!"
And now: Over 60 people at the Info Event and in total 100 Interest Forms.
I almost started crying today during the event! I felt so happy and proud of my LC.
I want to take the chance to thank my EB for making EuroCo such a great experience for me, because I didn't have to worry one moment. Nadja, Bilal and Ravaka! You are the best VPs ever and I'm so grateful for being able to have this team experience with you! Thank you for your friendship and support!
And also a big thank you to the International Days team! All these interested people are there mainly because of you!
Official Global Village - Beginning of the conference
So, I'm in Lithuania at this amazing conference called EuroCo, having the time of my life. It's been truly inspiring so far and I'm enjoying every moment of it.
I am also living up to the promises I've made, talking to many delegates (still some people to go until I've talked to everyone), been inspired and inspired others and I've been using my energy carefully, sleeping around 4-5 hours per night (which is good for a conference) and taking regular breaks between the sessions.
Here some impressions:
A session in the plenary with the other 160 LCPs from over 30 countries
Drinking wine during the flight to Lithuania (handling my fear of flying)
Before starting the conference I joined the study tour: here the whole group (on the right hand side it's me)
The complete Swiss delegation
The "chicken" presentation (replacing AIESEC vocabulary with Chicken)... inspired by LC Geneva?
So, my first International AIESEC Conference (EuroCo) is approaching! I'm flying on Wednesday Evening to Lithuania (aaaah, I hate flying...) to join the Study Tour that will take us around Lithuania. The conference itself starts Saturday and will last until Thursday.
As I'm floating at bit at the moment in my life, I hope to get a new direction or input from this conference. It's not the motivation that is lacking, but rather not knowing what I wanna do with my life, especially as the end of the Bachelor is approaching and I have no idea which option I wanna choose. As usual, there are too many opportunities out there and I don't really know where I wanna go.
Of course I will not just wait for the inspiration to come to me, but I will do something for it. Being away from my natural environment for a while will hopefully help as well.
So, in order to get the most out of this conference, I've done a personal goal setting:
- I want to talk to as many people as possible at this conference (my goal is everyone, I know it's not really managable, but I'll try my best)
- I want to inspire and get inspired, which means listening to others and what they've been doing and share my experience.
- I want to take energy back into my LC and not come back exhausted, which means distributing my energy equally among the days (and parties :)) and listen to my body telling me when it needs some rest.
So, with those 3 things in mind I'm looking forward to a new adventure and will now start finishing all the undone work that is waiting for me before my departure.
