Lots of interview last week: first for NST candidates and after for ProMS FACI candidates.

So we've formed these two teams!

With NST we'll be working all year long, I'm really happy that Lena and Oxana are there (TM forever:) )!

And FACI team for ProMS seems to be amazing as well.

Maybe it's selfish, but I'm SOOOO happy that my dear Stotskiy is there.

I met this crazy Slovak more than 2 years ago on ITC, we were in one homegroup and since then consider each other just relative souls, though haven't seen each other all this time. It's strange how U can see the person and after few words understand that whatever happen and wherever U're, he'll be there for you, supporting, cheering up, sharing and just chatting about some stupid stuff. And U feel so easy and natural, don't have to pretend. And this feeling is not dissapering with time or distance, it's just here with U all the time. And now we gonna meet after more than 2 years - in Kaliningrad:) He's coming as he promised 2 years ago :)

It's just one of examples as conference brings people U would never meet together and creates this magical relations - friendship...

SumMEET/ProMS

Dreaming of Kaliningrad:) 

...

Just feel pure happiness...don't know why, nothing special happened today. Maybe it's cuz we finally got hot water back at home?:) Or cuz I saw that one person values me and misses, though he's far away? Or it's this amazing weather in Moscow today? 

Don't wanna it to be over: like a sun inside and nothing else matters!

TM...

Writting now feedbacks on 16 Man Power Plans... and initiatives in TM in planning tool. For some it can seem to be boring, but I understood again how much I LOVE my job and TM, love it and will always love. And ready to read these MPPs every day:) and give feedbacks, and talk to my TMs, and manage all these TM processes, make conferences...

so my status for today: in love with TM:) it's really not position - TM is our vision:)

From home to home

Just got back to Moscow, and when was in the airport thought: "Good to be home again" :)

Two weeks ago I had the same thought when landed to Almaty airport: "Good to be home again" :)

Can a person have two homes, or its splitting of personality? 

Previous two weeks were full of speed and life for me...Need to see everybody, do MC work, visit favourite places and many many more. Highlights:

• salsa...love it
  
• don't get too drunk, or U'll get on TV
  
• nothing is impossible: even free taxi or jokes over U from radio :)
  
• people change... a lot
  
• don't be afraid to talk to unfamiliar people, they can become special part of your life
  
• try new things, even watching movie U would never watch
  
• drink in the park, it's fun and cheap
  
• spend time with Ur family&relatives, it's the best way to relax
  
• don't plan your day, something will come up eventually and it will be the best XP
  
• miss people who are far away - start valuing them much more
  
• skype is the greatest invention :)
  
• people are the main value, no matter what

Now back to Moscow, to my boyfriend, to my dear MC team...feels good and sad at the same time, as don't know when will be in Kazakhstan again with my family, friends, LC, mountains, streets, parks, full buses, sunny weather, crazy parties and this atmosphere which surrounds you in Almaty.

Random thoughts

Just got back after intense Planning Conference in Ufa and purely crazy team days with our MC team... Don't wanna repeat all the words about great people I've met there, wondeful time with members of AIESEC in Russia, the best of the best TM team, beatiful Ufa and bunch of ideas about my MC term!

I guess this time for me was time of discoveries:

discovering AIESEC in Russia. Now I feel part of AIESEC here and ownership for the people who I'm gonna work with and work for. Looking at people from different Local Committees, their passion for what they do and planning to do next year is the best motivation I could ever have!

discovering my MC team. In the previous post I was writing about my team and Storming time we were through that time. We not just overcome it, but became so close as people. Especially I'm grateful to Manana,Lena and Rus who were a positive surprise for me and shared with me so many funny moments, lifetime memories:)

discovering myself. How I can behave in certain situations, what I can contribute and what I gotta imrpove in myself. So now I know what to work on. 

discovering Ufa city. I was enjoying my time there, as Ufa reminds me a lot of my hometown Almaty, even the same buildings. The atmosphere of the city: friendly, hospitable, calm and sunny was like a break after crazy Moscow life. 

Today I was going after the train station to my appartment, looking at green trees and bright sun, and was thinking about connection between people... I got connected to people who I even didn't notice, and still logically can't explain why, we just got connected, though we're so different and never knew each other. 

Probably I should just walk my path and look forward, but not back, just feel and embrace experience which is coming on my way. so Let it be, as Beatles sing:)
