The first for everything
I was sitting on my first non-AIESEC seminar. The fact that I just joined the organisation for 7 months with no finance background at all did not help at all. The first half, I spent trying to comprehend what is being talked about. I get the gist but not the full details.

No energisers, no line dances, no "team bonding" stupid silly games (OMG, the alumni were right!). Although there were equally as many powerpoints and cool videos. It felt bizarre not to be in the know. I felt like I'm a newbie on my first IC. Whatever up for discussion was completely over my head, although some strategies discussed I could relate them back to 'back in my days in @.' WOW. That particular moment makes me feel better.

Despite everything, it was a great learning experience, getting people who have worked in the industry for years and years (it's only 7 months and I already whines.), who knows their shizzle and makes me feel like I'm very little. The whole experience was pretty humbling.
