OK .So I got elected as LC VP BD in AIESEC Bahrain .To those who are not familiar with AIESEC terms , it is an awesome title for a team leader who handles business development and external relations.
I come halfway through the term, and I am trying my best to do a decent job .However I come to know that we still have to raise, match and realise 3 internships before Jan 31st in order to become a full member country .Oops .Shit .Damn . You say it .
So basically what it all means is this : Myself, the MC VP BD and the BD team have to work it like crazy or whatever MC teams did before would basically go down the drain.
Things have been going fine so far. I have an awesome coach /colleague who is just simply great . Meetings are being secured .And we have raised our 2nd Internship already.We just have to raise a 3rd one and match all of them . I just hope that this all would end by december and we can sleep peacefully.
With Bridging the Gap on the other hand , things havent been working like they are supposed to .What bothers me , is that I took chances with certain decisions , and they didnt quite turn out like they are supposed to be .This is turning into a stage of deep frustration. However, I believe that good things come to those who wait .I will wait and my hope continues .And I think I have learnt my lesson .
Dont think for a second that you can be a superhero , darling , because you ain't !

On turning 21
I recently turned 21 . It is huge ! At first I really thought it made no difference whatsoever , you know aside from being 'legal ' , ' a year closer to death ' or whatever similar nonsense that people say .
But really , I came to realise that I actually feel old.I dont know .This to me represents a mark , a step , a threshold that has been crossed . I can no longer been a teenager, even if I wanted to .I can no longer be considered a university student no more, because once I graduate in a few months, that would be it .I would be starting my real life , with a real job, and real responsibilites to take care of .
An awesome memory that I had of this day was a great gathering with my friends for a nice dinner .I wished though that the rest of the people who didnt show up were there , but it didnt happen . Thanks to everyone who sent me a message on facebook , my mobile or my email. I am also thankful for a friend who made an international call to wish me a happy birthday . That I will always remember . I would also cherish the "1001 movies you have to see before you die" guide . AWESOME !
I had a number of plans for the year .And I have a lot of options too .But really , I came to realise that it would be a bit too early to plan what to do in July , when it is only October.I think I would take each thing , as it comes .Slowly and patiently.
I have a lot of good expectations for this year.But as a friend of mine once said :"Expectations always ruin things " .So , I have decided to go with the flow this year , and see where life would take me this time around.
