Personal Notes from the Train

Hey!

At the moment it is approaching 1 am, I have slept around seven hours altogether in the last three days and still, somehow I feel like writing a short note :).

I just returned from Bonn, were I meet with the other members of the team on external positioning (see my post here) for an intense two days of working long hours, discussing and having fun. In the train back I realized, that working in this team alone I have gained so many new skills. Also, just minutes after leaving I was getting good-bye messages from friends I have made in this team.
In every part of my life so far I have met lots of people, most of whom I do not see very often any more. But there always are some people who will stay with you. In the last two years in AIESEC I have met so many incredible persons from so many different backgrounds as I have never met before and it is nice to know that some of them will also be there in the future :).

On a different topic:
Sitting in the train, reflecting on this, I got a short message from Natalie. She is my pre-predecessor and one of the most amazing persons I know, even though I do not hear from her very often. Right now she is doing recruitment for Google. From Paris she sent: "aiesec is amazing. just wanted to share that with you. send greeting to my local committee". Now, I do no know what made her send that message to a person she hardly ever sees at 11:30 pm - but I am pretty sure it must have been a strong experience. And it feels to good to be working in an organization that is creating experiences like that every day, everywhere for so many people.

Sorry if this got a bit sentimental, maybe will be more factual next time.
