You know you have been too long in AIESEC, If...

...so I would like to open a blog posting about this issue :). Being in MC you constantly find yourself living and breathing AIESEC, which sometimes can have quite funny outcomes. So Here are my top things:

1. You don’t go on dates anymore, but you have scheduled meetings with your boyfriend
2. Your personal weekly priority is follow up with friends and parents
3. You have been caught almost naked by uni security guard, from changing close in the middle of classroom, because you couldn’t leave the room, due to a global chat.

Some updates

I am starting to enjoy more and more living in a big city. So many good artists, so many music festivals - if I would only have enough money to go to all of them! So my next target is festival in Sydney, January - Big Day Out (www.bigdayout.com). The lineup start with Range against the Machine and Björk. Jei cant wait for it!

So what else have I been up to so far:
Last week I was at a conference (and the weeks before that I have been living in the office - so nothing interesting). The conference took place at a suburb in Sydney. Very nice place in the nature that actually reminded Estonian summer camps places (pioneeri laagreid). 35 people in on room, nice nature around and you can make as much noise as you want. The conference was meant for all the LC president in Australia - incoming and outgoing. Yes, the LCP term in Australia is from December to November. It was nice and short conference - 4 pre conference days and 4 days of conference. As one of the really exciting thing - Long Term Plan for AIESEC Australia was created during the conference and it is very exciting, but I have to make another posting someday about it :). Shortly - AIESEC Australia is raising star and I am extremely happy that I am here at the moment and I can contribute to the development of country that will be in top 10 performing countries sooner than anyone is expecting ;).
Some more interesting things that are happening soon:
next week I will choose my own National Task Force - Expansion Task force that is going to develop Expansion Long Term plan. As part of my responsibilities is also expansion strategy.
week after that I will go for my 2nd LC visits - full week out of office and full of meetings - hard but exciting experience.

I have also received 2 hand written letters from Estonia - from my granny and my drunken friends :). It is so exciting no I know that love is a balloon and I should never drink for love with empty glass - thanks guys for educating me! But all the pictures and letters sent are on my wall and I am looking at them everyday. It is so inspiring and nice to receive real letter. Please write me more!

ok, enough of the random posting. Next one is going to be more structured and have more content.

PS somehow my photos web page has constant problems, so I have been uploading my pics to facebook - so everyone join facebook to see pics :P.
