Returned

I am back -in many ways.

I'm back from my travels. I have returned actually just about one month ago from my trip in Asia. Despite the fact I was away for 10 weeks it seems as I have never left- I'm again so absorbed by my life back home. The only thing I can hold on are my memories: memories of the people who entered my life -some of them for a few hours only, some of them a bit longer- many of them touched my heart, enriched my views, they made the journey to what it was: an incredible experience. Thanks so much to all the people who invited me to their homes, who fed me when I ran out of money, who spontaneously bought me an umbrella when it was raining, who taught me about Indian culture, who taught me about life as a Buddhist monk, thanks to all the people who shared their thoughts and experiences, who allowed me to be a part of their lives on this journey!

I'm back at university. For the first time in two years I'm again a full-time student. The last few weeks I was busy studying for my exams and working out my timetable for the upcoming 12 months. I have now decided that I want to finish my bachelor degree as quickly as possible, meaning, that I will try to fit 2 academic years into 1. It means that I will have to do 21 exams, but somehow this gives me a challenge to live up to.- The challenge I would be missing otherwise ;-)

I'm back to 'normal' life. Slowly but surely it starts to sink in: no more AIESEC that is dictating the flow of the day, no more trouble shooting, no more crazy pre-conference nights, no more...
It feels good to have more time to do other things, but somewhere deep inside, I'm missing it not to be MCP anymore. I'm still very attached to AIESEC in Switzerland, more than I should, I guess. I loved my job - now I need to look for a new one. As soon as I have updated my CV, I can start my job hunt properly. HR development is the area I'm interested in. Please keep your fingers crossed for me.
