Staying here a little longer...
I just had my contract renewed. For another 6 months ( I assume, since I have not seen it myself). So I guess I'm going to stay here a little bit longer. Many times have I had conversations with different friends on how we never expect to be where we are or become who we are today. Many times also I think about this. What had happened, whom had I met, where had I been. Different kinds of stories, people and places just jumped out of my memories, putting a smile to my face. For without these stories, people and places I wouldn't be who I am today - a smart-ass, overly critical, annoying, sarcastic beautiful self. :) They were there for a reason.

Since I started working almost 6 months ago, things have changed slightly. I'm able to appreciate more of what I have (or have had) and wising up a little to adapt in an environment very different that what I had been exposed to in my previous 7 years of my life. At times, these hindsights are making me missing my old life and my old friends like crazy! But at the same time you know that nothing is going to be the same, people are moving on and so should I.

So, my idea of "moving on" is putting the skills I've learned from AIESEC into practice, learning the ropes on a game of office politics (what fun!), taking a full dive into 'the real world' and being an agent of change in the process. The last bit is to redeem myself for not being able to go on an internship.

Having the chance to make a difference where it matters. What a life I'd say!
