catching up...

last week - John (Kelly) came in to visit and we had a great dinner chatting about AIESEC. it's always incrediable to find out with people are up and the amazing things they are doing. i found out that a friend of ours has come back from the dead, one is running around the middle east, a few are married while some are off saving the world in other remote locations. someone asked me if i miss it - the whole living on no money, constant jet-lagged and sleeping on floors all over the world. i admit it, i do - sometimes. i miss meeting new people, i miss the conferences, i miss being with other students and working for something that we thought could inspire others to be better, most of all i miss not knowing what i'll be doing tomorrow.

of course, i also enjoy the travelling that i do for work now - there're no waiting on standby anymore. i enjoy the people that i meet now - my international students and being able to provide a home for them away from home. i enjoy taking part in inspiring the new students to be better, to experience more and to see beyond the here and now.

so in a way - i still do the same work that i did when i was an undergrad...just in a different context.
