I can't believe how fast this week has flown by. I've been keeping myself busy with Aiesec and UKLA, of course. Next week in UKLA I'm going to start giving seminars about the higher education system in the US-it goes along with us eventually wanting to provide University Placement Services. Now, even though I went through this system, I don't think I grasped just how complicated it can be. sheesh. And with Aiesec, well, matching reception matching reception matching reception. :) The good news is that by this time next week, we should have two more matches under our belt, and in light of my new, very official title of "Trainee Officer", I want to start really hammering out some new ideas to increase the quality of reception and trainee experience here.

But I'd have to say the best part of my whole week has been when I finally found a little pink slip waiting for me at the Aiesec office. I went to the post office yesterday morning to pick up my package, which I'm really proud myself for doing all on my own, and found not one, but three packages for me!! I immediately took them to the office and started ripping into them. My mom sent me magazines, a new book!, pictures of my niece and nephew (they're really great..I have the one of them sitting on their grandma's lap, with Joey looking like he's about to play the jembe on the cake in front of him, sitting on my desk at work), an adapter, chocolate, cookies, easy cheese, pb, but most importantly, soy milk and rice noodles! I so can't wait to cook up one mean stir fry with those babies! I already have it planned out, I'm going to do it right before I come home. I can't believe that's in two weeks!
