holy cowzer.
ah. the bittersweet emotions of finally being home after a weekend away at an AIESEC conference. it's so nice to be home--the first thing I did was crawl into my bed and just sleep, sleep, sleep. But now, I know I'll be seeing Rowdies all over campus. It started on the ride down there when we stopped just before Gary, IN to snag some food. Now, it'll continue throughout the rest of the week.
The Cultural Prep went ok. There are a lot of things that need to be shifted and altered, but it'll be sweet once it's done.
I'm gonna be really honest here--there's something fabulously sweet about all of your SNs actually knowing each other and having fun together. Or having your SNs coming up to ask about when the next reception week is so that they can help out, or the newbies and SNs getting to know each other, silently freaking out about all the dances and odd things we do.
By the end of the Cultural Learning sessions, they were even using terms like active member and AIESEC community. I swear, I almost AIESECgasmed to death.
Beyond that, Pete wants to start up @MSU again. When I realized that he wasn't from UM, but rather MSU, it was one of the first thoughts that crossed my mind, but I didn't want to talk to him about it before the conference in case it really freaked him out. But then he brought it up--so this means that it'll be underway. We have four months to establish before he graduates and leaves on a TN, most likely.
Okay. So much AIESEC. This will stop soon since I need to go read Absolam, Absolam and finish up Lives of Girls and Women. I swear, these classes are testing me way too much. It's funny how I went four years in university without ever really having race brought to my attnetion when it wasn't the focus of study. It's everywhere now and it's extremely challenging. It's hard to remember that your history isn't exactly what everyone else considers American History. right?
