Well the last two days have been very intense... my first assesment center was a great experience, it was very challenging and there was a group of amazing individuals there... I think most of them deserve to get the jobs, but unfortunately not everybody can get it.
I think I did a good job, but you never know how you are going, since most of the times people just say you are doing fine... well from now on I just need to wait for the results... they promised to give them next week, so it will not be such a long waiting time... so keep still your fingers crossed for me for a while...
Yesterday was the final of the mexican soccer league and my favorite team was playing in the final, so I wanted to see the game, after searching on the internet I found a site that transmit online TV and they were going to transmit the game :) , so yesterday I saw the game it started at 2 am Belgian time and finish at 5 am... it was very interesting game but unfortunatelly my team lost...
Well the played good and to be honest I did not expected them to arrive until the final.
So today it is a holiday here in Belgium so I am trying to recover after my non sleep night and also I am trying to study a bit.
This weekend is the Brussels jazz festival and everybody seems to be very excited about it, but i do not care, I am not a big fan of jazz music... anyway tomorrow I will go to the festival and have some fun.
Today some people went there, but I did not feel like going out, as I mention in my last post I have too many things in my head and today I had some time to think about them... I was thinking that maybe after almost 2 years of living in Belgium, I am getting bored of the country... I am missing the excitment... maybe it is good that there are some changes to come in the future, I do not know if I will stay another year here, but maybe going out of AIESEC and start seeing and learning new things will help me.
Another thing that is making me worried is that sometimes I feel alone... living in another country with out your family and culture is hard, I am not home sick, but sometimes I just feel that I miss my culture and my traditions, people here is very cold and even I have tried to get close to them, I still have the impression that they do not care... Maybe it is just my imagination and that I have to many things at the moment in my head, maybe by the end of next week I will know what I will be doing next year and that will help me clarify my mind...
Well it if finally here... summer :) (well it still not a real summer but days are getting longer and it is sunny outside) I like this time of the year... Well now I am starting to get worried on what to do next year... everyday I see that some of friends have already a plan for next year and I am still waiting... In one week I will have the assesment center of the job I am applying too... I am really looking forward for it... Anyway I have no time to be worried for that, it is better to enjoy this sunny days here in Brussels.
Thanks to Makis I saw this video that it was done by AIESEC in Monterrey, my original local chapter... and by seeing at the video I do not know anybody there... I guess time goes so fast and things change very fast I remember that during my EB term we wanted to create something like this and now it is great to finally have it
Today my boring weekend continued, but I went to the gym and I saw this video and the whole day I had the song in my mind, the song and the video are extremly cool, so just take 3 min to see it you will not regret it...
This weekend has been a very relaxing one, I was suposed to start studying but.... anyway I was bored and I started watching old pictures and then I decided to create something cool, so I made a slideshow with pictures of the 25 countries I have visited during my 25 years of life... (I really enjoyed making this clip)
This week was a very busy week, but that is not a new news since most of the weeks are very busy, but what made this week so nice was the fact that I got in touch with lots of friends via facebook and also that we had the visit here in Brussels of several AI members. The best of all the visits was Wednesday when Jeanne came and stayed in our house, we went partying in the city and after that we went back home and played drinking games, it was a great night, but it was difficult to concentrate the next day...
Well today is Friday (well already saturday morning) and I did not went partying, I just went to see a movie and then I decided to come back home walking, just walk and hear my ipod, it was a nice feeling because I had the time to think about my life, I have so many things in my mind that just walking alone help me clarify some stuff... what is going to happend next year?...
Last week in Sweden everybody was talking aboutfacebook, so I decided to join and I can say I am surprised of how many people I know is there. Also the tool has so many cool things, that I can not belive how I was without being part of it.
Well I just want to share with you something that happend today, I got a friend request from a friend from Canada, that I meet in aCISVsummer camp in Brazil in 1996 and since that time I had no contact with him (I saw him once when I went to Canada) but nothing else.
The world is a big place, but with facebook it can help you make it smaller (this can be a good slogan for them)
Well I am back in Belgium after a great week in Sweden. As you can see in my last post with the pictures of the participants of the meeting we all look very happy.
After the meeting I stayed for the weekend in Sweden and also some other people flew to Sweden for the weekend, so we had a small friends reunion.
Well I have been in AIESEC for long time and I have been in lots of conferences and for me some of my best experiences were the moments after the conference were you just do some tourisim with other delegates that decided to stay longer (these delegates at the end become good friends of you)... well this weekend was the same and I can say that I loved it. I had so much fun just hanging out with old friends and also some new friends.
I guess that moments like this weekend is the thing I will miss more after leaving AIESEC... Anyway thanks a lot for this great weekend, here are some pics (more pics are on flickr)
Well it has been 3 days since I am in Sweden and I can say that until now everything is fine... the WENA exchange meeting is going very well and it is very nice to see my collegues VPs and just talk about our problems and what we can to do solve them.
Unfortunatelly I have not seen anything from the city, we are all the day in the meeting and in the night we just go for a a drink, but the meeting is finishing today so starting tomorrow I will start my tourism trip.
That is all for now, we need to leave now to the Electrolux building that is 30 min away from the place we are staying.
Well in two months I finish my term as MC in Belgium, after those two months I have another month for transition and then my 2 years MC experience will be over.
I can not believe how fast time goes, I still remember the day when I was selected to the MC, my first day in Brussels, my first.... everything. These 2 years have been amazing with lots of amazing things, but also lots of sad and disapointing things.
Now it is the time to start thinking in my future... and to get a job. I am currenlty in the process of getting a job, I mention in one of my last post that I had a job interview, well I passed the interview :) and now the next step is to have an Assesment Center.
I hope I can get into this job, it is exactly what fits my plan of life, for the next 2 years.
Well the next weeks are very important for my future, since it is decision making time... but I am sure that what ever I decide will be good for my life and will bring me closer to achieve my personal vision (You have been in AIESEC to long when you have a personal vision :P )
For now I am going to the airport, I am going to Sweden for a meeting for the rest of the week...
This will be my 25 country that I visit, for some people it is a lot, but for me it not enought, I still have to many places to visit and people to know.
