Food for thoughts at NatCo 2007

In the time of a beautiful weather, of couples everywhere, blossoms in the air and the blue sky, I happened to attend a AIESEC Conference last weekend (Thu - Sun). The National Conference of AIESEC in the Czech Republic (NatCo 2007). This was my 21st conference in my AIESEC career and I have to addmit that it was the most challenging one. I performed within a team of facilitators for newies (guiding new AIESEC members through the entire exchange process). Some fuck-ups happened... like arriving to the site with the feeling of having influenza, I had to work hard under pressure with feaver, solving challenging situations within the team of newies... I did not go for any party, fun part, did not drink any single beer, cause after the whole day I was deadly exhausted.

BUT! What I realized was, that from the most challenging situation you learn THE MOST! When I thought I can´t go further I saw that I can make it anyways and there is still some energy left. I am happy for this discovery. It was not the only learning indeed. I heared from some clever people following:

"It is not important what you do, but how you do it. Give the passion in things you do."
"Sometimes the challenging things seem very hard and unattainable. But what counts is the experience you get out of it, which you see and appreciate when the experience finishes" Which what I think is very true.


I am very thankful for being part of NatCo 2007.

Matze and Hias for a visit in Prague

Matze and Hias are my friends from Uppsala, who I also met later on in Utrecht. Our reunion in Prague was very nice full of sightseeing, fun and drinking Czech beer and Becherovka liquer:P
Wanna CZECH OUT the photos?

My current life issues

Recently many things are happening - busy time, he? Sometimes I feel like hide somewhere in a corner and relax. This usually happens at my parent´s house, where I just sit in the sun, read newspapers or chat with my parents while drinking glass of whine or beer:) This recharges my bateries lately.

What´s been on my mind recently?
- I realized that in my life it is very important to have something to look forward to, to have something concrete to live for, to head to. This makes me feel happy and fills my life a way.

- I started to teach English. I teach three lectures per week in a language school - elementary level, ppl round 30 years old working in an insurance company Generalli. I like it, cause it gives me contact with new people, I can give the ppl something from me (my knowledge, passion) and as I saw after the first lectures, they have a positive approach to English. And of course I make some money! Cool

- I started to search for an internship. I will go with AIESEC for a traineeship lasting minimum 0,5 year. Somewhere out of Europe. I am still searching and sometimes I feel insecure about feeling that I don´t know where I end up and don´t know for how long. I am just fine with having life structured and this big "question mark" ...makes my life "intersting" let´s say.

- I am very much looking forward to going to Uppsala. I fear a bit that when you are looking forward to something, usually it sucks. So I just tend to not exaggerate my expectations and have relaxed 6 days in Sweden. Going to Uppsala means for me kind of closing my whole Sweden experience with my one year "after hangover" :)
Closing that chapter means opening a new one ...we will see.
