It's getting to the point where the heat (though I mostly blame the humidity) is starting to cause that tired, lazy feeling, or at least that's my story and I'm sticking to it. It comes at a most inopportune time seeing as how I'm trying to stay on top of everything before I go on my trip.

I just applied to take an online course today; a CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) course entitled "The Role of Business in Development" offered especially to Aiesecers by the World Bank Group. I believe CSR will play a major role in the future of Aiesec, and if done right, a healthy world for that matter. Not to mention that I think it will definitely contribute to my efforts of getting involved with NGO/humanitarian efforts in developing nations-I think I may have mentioned things like Microsoft's UP projects before, so yeah, things like that. And well, it's free, and who wouldn't want free education, right? Worst case scenario, I'll be a less ignorant person, so where's the downside?

I also finally up and applied to go the that You Can Congress in India. Now, I'm not 100% sure that I'm going to go even if I get accepted, but I wanted to give it a shot. We'll deal with the results when the come in, which isn't until sometime in July.

You may be wondering about those pictures I posted recently. Well, they were taken at the YES Congress a couple of weeks ago. No, your eyes doth not deceive you, we are on a beach. Hehe. I'm going to edit the posts to make them purdier, but I wanted to throw those up there so you could see. I have some others, which I may someday upload, but don't hold your breath because I don't think I'll get to it before July.
