9-10.02.2007

Not that something spectacular happened today - just that I realized how much I work, how less than before I sleep and how little time i dedicate to myself.But maybe time on your own is overrated :)i'm sure it is actually.

so where should I begin. yesterday we just arrived form Cobh, county Cobh from the MC team days. Great fantastic little town-i will for sure go back soon - but that's not the point of my post.right....yesterday. we woke back at 5:50, Aine's father took us to teh bus station in Cork, at 7 we departed for Dublin. By 11:30 we were in the office ready to begin a new day of work after a good break of 2 days. It's incredible how many things we have to catch up with just after 2 days. incredible amounts of emails, phonecalls, persons to talk to, task :)

Anyway I couldn't stay longer than 5, cuz at 7:30 i was working in Break for the Border (my week end par time job :).So I came home, had a shower, dried my hear and headed for B4TB. I like my job at the bar, but the only thing is that I'm really tired after I get home and also the next day :) So, worked in the BAR, really happy that Aine met this cool irish guy from north Dublin (she visited me at the bar with her friend Evie), we closed the bar by 3 am, and by 4 I was at home. But I had some stuff to organize for AIESEC, so I just stayed up and worked until 6am, when I sudennly realized that I was working with my eyes half closed. Went to bed. Woke up at 11:15, to prepare myself to go pick up Mada from the Airport. My room is a mess- judging by the photo you can see in this post. And I suddenly realized that in the picture(before I took it) I had a few things that caractarized my year in Ireland. My apron - the red stella artois one - that I have to wear at the pub, my laptop(my AIESEC work) - in the backpack, my diary, and my Ulysse (the toy that I received from B - symbol of missing home).

So yeah Mada is here - I'm really happy to have her and Jacek - showed them a bit around Dublin, and I'm back at home to actually eat something before I go into my Bar work again at &:30 pm.

Busy times isn't it?
But this is how I learned how precios my time is...and how spontaneous we should be sometimes in order not to miss life - passing us by :)
About my future - the same - i'm confused - i try to leave the present and to be a bit spontaneous about the future even if I know that it will happen based on the ideas that i have in my head - and itis already planned :)

holidays in the snow

so....
I just miss it....

question of the day: Prue, what is mint rubbing?

Dear Aine,

ask any romanian.they'll know.

cultural difference ,ha?

leadership,recruitment,6 nations,team days,visits, memory problems?

wow. and i thought i didn't have that much going on in my life at the moment!!!i'm wrong...

leadership. or facilitating leadership.or activating leadership - at one of the conference that I've always dreamt of facilitating. actually I wanted to facilitate at EuroLDS - my first international conference in AIESEC.but it doesn't exist anymore.now there is a more relevant conference for the WENA region in AIESEC.WENALDS.great journey of facilitating such a conference.what is leadership?because we seem to have so many definitions?what is leadership to you?

recruitment. having 25 as a minimum target for selection and sending abroad.or making a difference in 25 lives through AIESEC.25 irish.25 students who have understood or will understand why AIESEC is different, and it changes your worldview, opportunities, life. seems a small number but is a big one.

6 nations.this is a dilema - we all know france and italy as nations - but did we questioned the title"6 nations tournament" taking into consideration that the other 4 are Ireland, England, Scotland & Wales? England&Scotland&Wales are part of UK, as it is also Northern Ireland - even if it's playing together with the Republic of Ireland in the Rugby tournament. so what do i do to solve my dilema? go to a dictionary. and find out that:
nation= 1. people in land under single government: a community of people or peoples living in a defined territory and organized under a single government;2. people of same ethnicity: a community of people who share a common ethnic origin, culture, historical tradition, and, frequently, language, whether or not they live together in one territory or have their own government;3. Native American people or federation: a Native American people or a federation of peoples- the Apache nation;4. land of Native American nation: a territory occupied by a Native American people or federation;5. group with common interest: a group of people united by a common interest;[13th century. Via French <> nation- "birth, race" < nat-, past participle of nasci "be born"]
and my conclusion is - given the origin of "nation" as a word, the people in a nation are born under the same etnicity - with a common ethnic origin.and yes the tournament can be named 6 nations - even if there can be 7 nations (Norther Ireland?)
again it is a question of refference - if i wouldn't be in Ireland - i wouldn't have such questions on my mind. and afterall we're all european.or?

team days.yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! In Cork & Cobh
i'm looking forward to that.is my first step in fulfilling one of my objectives for this year - travelling and getting to know the english speaking part of europe - as in the 4/5 nations :)

visits. mada and jacek are visiting me!yaaaay!almitza as well for St pats,deedee, marina, anca are thinking about it and most important - buzghi -on the 22 of feb. pure crazyness..

memory problems.yes. seem to have a short memory.really.sorry, i must have too much on my mind.

enough for today,
