Saba Imtiaz: Everyday is a winding road..

The quote of this conference has been by one of the AI members: "AIESECers have no idea what they're doing next year but they know what they're doing for the rest of their life" I think that is so true. I know for sure, what my action steps are for next year - but I keep rethinking the situation. How will I feel at the end of the year? Will I be exhausted and not want to do another year of work? Will I be excited and enjoying my AIESEC experience so much that I will want to do 5 more years? I guess time will tell. I've been talking to a number of people about what their future plans are and its quite interesting. I've also resolved to not try and justify anyone else's work ethic. It is just not me.

I have had a tough term. But the highs have made up for the lows, and I know for sure what I need to do to ensure that I don't feel this disconnect that I currently do.

If I could relive the past one year again, what would I do differently? Thats not the question. The fact is, that it only matters if everyone resolves to do everything differently.

I need to have a cup of coffee and curl up on a couch, not try and catch some sleep on the benches in plenary!

In other random IC news..

..our work habits have become quite strange. Ask Joanna :P...
...we like to whine. a lot. please get Kurt some juice!!
...the amount of networking happening in the queue to the girls' bathroom is quite fascinating! People are resolving SN visa issues, being updated on how their common friends are doing, complaining about the lack of sleep, promoting exchange opportunities, getting advice...someone needs to include that in the conference prep packs as a ER networking tool!

Love from a rainy Warsaw,
Saba
