Mid february and the world doesn't slow down no matter how much you wish it would

Oops; I've really lost interest in blogging. I don't imagine many people pay attention anyway. We all have our lives to live instead of reading those of others. Or at least that's what I would hope.

I went to Guanajuato this past weekend to 1) work with my team organizing the Alumni Congress, and 2) relax. Well, I accomplished one of those goals. Friday night barhopping, lounging and sobering up on Saturday to charge up for Saturday night, which turned out to be a flop. Then I worked from 11am to 8pm with my team. From 9-11pm I worked at a practically open air cafe, freezing my ass off and running the two chats I had requested from various members. Carlos and I took the 12am bus to go back to the city and after 30min on the subway we got into our very own beds at 5:45am, enough to nap slightly before going to work.

On Monday morning I met with 2 of the Founders of AIESEC Mexico. Two wonderful gentleman who I hope to keep in contact with after my term ends in Mexico.

I love Mexico. I mean, I really love Mexico. Maybe I'm just focusing on a few aspects but I'm happy here. Not because I'm spending all day in the office, but the actually place, people and food is great and I love it. I'm not sure I want to pack up and leave. Although, there is always the opportunity to come back if I feel that I belong here more time.

So, I've got lots of thoughts running through my head making me crazy, when I should really just be looking for the peace, calm, and happiness.

Revived

Putting a lot of energy into something just to know and be told that it wouldn't work out is never uplifting. I have been quite disillusioned recently, but I'm snapping out of it. A nice long weekend not working has really helped me to recharge and get my head in the right place. A new world of opportunities is opening up, I just have to know what I want to do to choose the best.

It's amazing to think that I could actually leave AIESEC and move on into a whole new chapter of my life. I've been reading "How to Change the World" by David Borenstein and it's so inspirational. Now my head is full of even more grandiose ideas.

Anybody have any suggestions?

Many options is certainly better than none

AIESEC has given me a whole new hand of options to consider and it's overwhelming but I must say that is of course much better to be stumped by having too many options than by having none at all.

Another MC didn't seem possible until a few days ago, or maybe AI Coordinator, or a traineeship, or maybe just leave AIESEC all together. We'll see where the wind blows.
