Moving on

Not being chosen is never good for one's self-esteem and so it's been hard to be cheery these days, but I'll survive. I just needed one good night of whining and complaining to get it all out of me, realize how ridiculous it was to be upset, and start the next day with a whole new attitude. So far I have completed this cycle and am just waiting for a full recharge of energy to be able to start the search again for a next step to my life. I've finally remembered the things I had mentioned before submitting the application that "it doesn't matter, I have lots of opportunities". Now I just have to actually take advantage of them.

The waiting game

It's Friday night and I don't wanna go to bed quite yet. I've been checking my emails like mad today but everybody seems to be on vacation because I don't get anything. I'm waiting to find out whether or not I was selected for the AI position that I applied for. They'll make the announcement on Monday.

For the weekend I'm once again going back to Kike's house in the town of Tlahuelilpan in the state of Hidalgo. His mom invited me this weekend for her cousin's wedding, which should be interesting. And then Kike and I are making plans to go clothes shopping on Sunday in Pachuca where the prices are supposed to be a little cheaper. We'll see if I can't find a nice shirt and some shoes :-)

Anyway, life is good. Ahmet and I went to play pool 3 times this week and sadly I think I got worse and worse every time we went back :S Tonight I lost quite a few games but won one fair and square.

Cindy just gave me a small gift from a trip she went on last week to Oaxaca, it's a small bottle of coffee flavored Mezcal and I'm just dying to try it, but I'll wait until next week. She and her boyfriend won't let me forget the how if it wasn't for me getting totally wasted at my bday party then they would have never met because they both were taking care of me. Ay ay ay. sooo. that's a few random thoughts for you to skim through to find out what my day to day is like :-P Cheers!

New crazy adventure

Why does this cycle never stop? Oh yeah, because I haven't reached the limit of what I can do in AIESEC and I won't stop until I get there. At least for the moment I am still inspired and capable of having a huge impact in the organization and I want to give it a try, if they accept for the Alumni Relations Manager position on AIESEC International. I decided to apply just a few days ago and the application is due on Tuesday. I must be insane. I was looking forward to a nice break after this year on the MC and now I'm putting myself out there for a 1 year term in Rotterdam that would start in June :-S.

Life is crazy and so am I. We make a good couple :-P jajaja let the craziness continue as long as possible because that's how you feel that you are truly alive and living life to it's fullest. Love, peace, and happiness. May we all achieve that.
