Proud of my team

During my AIESEC life I had the pleasure to work with 3 different teams. Every time it was a different and exciting experience. What is really exciting about changing teams is that every time you can start fresh, you can rediscover and challenge yourself within the team. However the more teams you change the least excited you are or trully apprecitate the gift of beeing part of group of individuals working together for a common purpose.
Today was hard to leave the office. It was 12:20, I was already late for catching the train towards Cluj, and everybody else was still in the office working for NPS and making sure that things happen. As I turned towards the door I couldn't help smile thinking about each one of them and the experiences that we had together.
I can't believe that we have worked together and shared an apartment for 9 months. I can not imagine a day without Iulian waking everybody us up with his ususal "Goood moooooorning" or going to the gym with the guys. Somehow my team has become a big part of my everyday reality that we build together as the MC of ROMANIA.
I know we are so different and then again this is what makes us unique. I know that each one in the team will always give 110% for making things happen and having all this in mind I can't stop smiling while thinking about it.
Proud to be part of this team and really happy I have the chance to wrok with them...

The simple things

Apparently this blog was not meant to be updated constantly rather than in moments were the intensity of feelings is rushing trough myself. Last week was different, from all the other weeks in the MC. It all started on Friday when I went home and spent a week-end with my parents. I really don't remember when was the last time we talked about the small things in our lives and just hang out togehter. We managed to also play Catan which is a huge acomplishement considering that we haven't played anything together since I think 2 or 3 years ago. Monday and Tuesday I went to Cluj were I met my brother, my best friend from AIESEC and my girlfriend. A flower, a book, a coffee, random moments and all of them smilling. They are some of the most important people in my life and it felt unexpectatly really good to see them smile.
Beeing back into AIESEC Cluj is like a whirlwind and beeing chair for the 3SOME RTS is like a tornado in itself. When I entered AIESEC Adisor, the chair for my RTS, was half the reason I stayed in the organization and I hope I may have done the same for some of the new members. Meeting again Tzutzu mic, Vlad But, Cips, Ioana Sirca, Emil, Adi Rusu, Clau and Alec, people who in different moments in my AIESEC life have ment so much for me, showed me how valuable are those precious links to those people who are close to your heart and how easy it is to forget about them as we run trough life.
My greatest satisfaction was to see the smiles on everybody's faces when the conference ended, going trough the sugarcubes and seeing a happy faci team.
Beeing with Anda for this entire week was like I never left for Bucharest. It all felt so natural and so right. Jumping between faci meetings, plenaries or having random talks together over a pizza or a coffee felt like nothing bad could happen and out of all the things out there called life this is how it should be for us.
Right now I am on the train running from Cluj to Bucharest, where another world is waiting for me. Somehow I feel that for the last months I have been trying to keep this two worlds separate and felt like living two parallel lives.
Tomorrow I'll try to clash them and see what happens.
