How am I doing...

Well, right now it's my 26th day at home... (I just counted that:-)

I didn't realize that I have been at home for so long, the time is running so fast...
My health is slowly getting better, it seems that the last week at home is in front of me and hopefully my travel to Turkey should be also manageable. (with some restrictions)

This month was really challenging, I have never experienced so many up and downs in my life. On the other hand, it's very nice to feel the support of people around me who are taking care of my health sometimes even more than I do.

My days are mainly about work, I try to fullfill my responsibilities from my home and so far it's going pretty well. I have learnt to work on my own, use all ways of virtual communication as much as possible and I try to keep in touch with the rest of my team. Right now, whole MC team left for our summer national conference - SustrCo. Unfortunately, I can't participate, therefore I have created a video for them. Due to my IT skills, it really take a lot of time to do that but it was worth! You can check it here

Actually, I had a lot of fun when creating the video but my dog was a little bit bored and scared at the same time :-)

The only certainty is that nothing is certain

I was supposed to ...
... participate at the mc planning
... start working at mc office finally as official MC member
... visit Brussel
... attend AI takeover party in Rotterdam
... be with my MC team
... clean the MC flat with the rest of my team
... facilitate sessions at Sustrco (our first national conference)

but

you never know what's waiting for you...

In one day, my plans have changed. I got the mononucleosis and therefore I have to spend July at home. So I set up my own office at home and try to manage all my work from home. I still hope that I will be able to go to IC, Turkey. But ... nothing is certain.

Team to team transition

Few days after I came back from Rotterdam, our team to team transition started. Firstly, we were at the mc office and mc flat getting to know all the stuff that is there. Streight after we left to a village called Psovlky. We spent there five days when we tried to get to know as much as possible about AIESEC CR and all the processes that are connected with that. It was tough but interesting. We talked a lot about LC realities, conference management, year flow etc. From that time I started to feel the responsibility that is with MC connected. Apart from work, we also managed to play tennis, have barbeque, play drinking games, do MC parody and have a lot of interesting talks.

I would like to thank to current MC for their effort that they put into these five days.

Global Brand Principles meeting – Rotterdam

Again after very long time I’m back to update you what’s going on with me.

In the middle of May, I spent one cool week at AIESEC International in Rotterdam working on Global Brand. There were ten people who were selected to participate at the meeting + the meeting was attended by some AI members:

Amit (AI)

Gee (AI)

Michelle (AI)

Pinar (AI)

Ryan (AI)

Anastasia, Russia

Andre, Brazil

Andreea, Romania

Carly, USA

Charles, Ghana

Sam, India

Toni, Spain

Zeno, Romania

And me :-)

The meeting was really cool thanks to diversity of people who were there. But not only because of that, it gave me interesting insight to branding and all things connected to that. It was amazing to work on an international level and now that our decisions will be shaping the next evolution of branding among the whole AIESEC network.

But the week was not just about work…(as usual). Our team was joining AI for their team dinners which was actually very funny experience. Every day there was a different cooking team cooking for the rest. It’s very cool idea how to connect people and have fun together… On Saturday, Habib took me for a sightseeing in Rotterdam, later Ondro and Gabiza joined us and we went to the traditional market. In the evening we were joining Ildi’s and Ryan’s engagement party. The party was very nice; many people came so we had a lot of fun and end up partying in the club. On Sunday, before I left, I went to Amsterdam with Anastasia (MCP of Russia) to do some sightseeing there. Waking up after the party was not very pleasant, but at the end it was worth to get up early and spend time with her in Amsterdam.
