Life in Missouri....all over again!
Been living back in this state forgot by the rest of the world since a month now...my first impression was: how agly this place is!!! I thought I wouldn't have survived for too long here but now, after only a month, after FINALLY all the snow around melted, I was walking around downtown this morning and felt the maginc of this BEAUTIFUL little town:)
Just on a random day: last night AIESEC Missouri had invited a speaker from Baruch University who came to talk about international careers. I went to dinner with him before his speach and he - an amazing man who had travelled and lived and worked in so many different places - helped out a lot with my self-esteem, telling me to follow my dream-career path, and telling me how marketable I was:) Anyhow, after the amazing speach, after one of my first legal beers, I had my roomate taking me home for a conference call for AIESEC Rocks conference in Oklahoma City this weekend. I was on the phone with my friend Sarah, Pam (who was on an AIESEC traineeship in Tunisia and is now back in Illinois) and Jeff from Austin, Texas. We planned together a session for the conference this weekend and then went to sleep. This morning I had class at 8, I then went downtown cause I wanted to rent a movie on Apple, but the rental place was still closed, so I ended up in my favourite coffee shop. There I saw a guy I usually see salsa dancing at the Blue Fugue, where he's like a king cause he's sooo good! But this morning, seeing him in a coffee shop, looking so anonymous cause no one knew who he was...I just looked at him and we got each other: him the king of the Blue Fugue, me the Queen of that little moment:)
Went back to the AIESEC office, had to call Sarah in New York for AIESEC, studied strategy and vision for a quiz, reminded me on Landon's vision of AIESEC last year...how powerful! The same day he wrote that was the day I found my traineeship in India! Finance class, Strategy class, AIESEC office for lunch, followed by Accounting. I had to tutor a student who had to write a love poem in French as an assignement...how fun! She ended up writing about a girl, but my mind was far far away...what if I ever had to write such a thing? How much fun would I have had, and mostly how much guts;) Took a little short nap in the AIESEC office (yes, I'm a professional leader!), met with my Strategic mgmt group to talk about the industry Apple is present and has a relativily important weight. Got done with that, wolked home where I passed by downtown, all the bars and cute coffee shops...had some roomates time, then ran outside to go out for a beer with my friends Kandice and Luke, as well as Hector and Jessica: it was their first year anniversary of wedding! So crazy, but definetly worthwile spending it with them.
Now I'm finally home, exausted and quite tipsy. I need to put down the conference material tomorrow morning before leaving for Oklahoma, contact the person I'm riding there with, contacting my marketing group for a project we're doing on Subaru, and I'm sure there is so much more going on! Applying for jobs definetly..the most frustrating thing I have been doing this semester, but at the same time the most essential! How much is that stressing me...I cannot explaining it!
I have been sleepwalking at night, allucinating during the day...stress has been a bit overwelming this semester but I can't wait to be done with everything...but then what?
The sky is my limit, I'm ready for antything....I just need something to be a possible choise, I think that would quite help, wouln't it?
most of my love, tons and tons of kisses
Ale
