The end of a journey

I've done the best I could and I'm not happy about the results but that is life and for some reason I was meant to continue on in search of something else. I don't know what that is yet and I'm exhausted just thinking about the energy that I will need to muster to get up to another point of selection or acceptance of another piece of work.

Never-ending cycle

Energy goes up and energy gets drained away and then energy goes up again and once more drained away. Such a normal cycle but I think my life is on an extreme rollercoaster. I've had some pretty intense highs and incredible dips of energy. The speeches and Q&A at WSC in Spartanburg were great. I was nervous but I didn't let anybody tell :-P and then going back to Mexico I was asked to facilitate the Leadership Development Seminar instead of participating in CONAL. I was super psyched to facilitate because it was a ton of fun working with the new members, but it required a lot more energy.

I finally slept in my bed for the first time in three weeks and it was amazing. But I absolutely need a few more nights to recover back to 100%. My mommy and her Buckely arrive in 2 days and so that'll be wonderful to see them. MCP interviews are the last stage in the process before the selection committee must make the final decision. We should all know before February what the results are - INTENSE.

That's the update for the past few weeks. So much happened but there's not time to write it all down along with everything that was learned along the way.

Almost there

We just got back from the Winter Strategic Conference in Spartanburg, South Carolina. I drove back with Missy, Sarah, and Izaz to Atlanta yesterday. The conference was an intense experience for me. Not only dealing with the culture shock of being back in the US and the AIESEC culture shock of how things are so crazy different in the US than in Mexico, I was insanely crazy with the MCP selection. Each candidate gave about an 8min speech. And on another night we had 2 sessions of 30min Q&A with the 200 delegates. Hella intense.

But all in all it was a great experience and I'm still recovering, reflecting on the changes I went through during this whole process and how it has already made me stronger. I'm already returning to Mexico with a new outlook on my work and how I want to finish these next few months on the MC there. I'll keep you updated on the cloudiness that is my brain.
