i want one.

yo quiero.
(mike williams and trent krupp are genius.)

i promise more to come on the moroccan adventure.

paradigm-shift

ana kountoo fe al-Maghreb.
i was in Morocco.

and it changed my life.

tomorrow, tomorrow...

i leave in about 28 hours. i cant even begin to tell you how incredible that is to me.

there was a point however that i was almost told i couldn't go. my mother, upon finding out about the suicide bombing incident in Casablanca on sunday, officially freaked out and told me that she didn't want me going. i think that is part of the reason why i need to go - to achieve the AIESEC mission and end the need for suicide bombers. i believe in what AIESEC is doing, i just wish that i could get that across to my parents. and everyone.

speaking of conference - it looks like BEBOT will be the roll call for AIESEC US. count it GT.

2 days 2 hours 54 mintes 57 seconds

the title pretty much says it all.


(excitement)

can i wait it out?

3 days, 4 hours, 26 minutes.

if i can last that long it would be amazing. i just finished a test, still have a project and two more midterms to go. I have class in about 10 minutes, but i would rather sleep. i haven't gotten to that point just yet. LTM went late, then worked on a project, then went to dinner at R. Thomas with Charlie (at 2am.) it was delicious by the way, and very good conversations about all sorts of things.

right now i am just trying to focus for more than 2 minutes on one thing. i have been so jittery lately that i am never sure what is going on. i hate this feeling of not being able to focus. or sleep. im worried that i will be getting no sleep this week, and then i will be off to morocco (yay!) which inherently requires me not to sleep, and valencia (yay!) which will not include sleeping either. i'm either going to have to start taking meth or become a zombie in the next few days so i can survive. i'd prefer neither.

3 days, 4 hours, 5 minutes.

almost there.

7 days of waiting....

one week.
one week from right now i will be arriving at the airport to go to morocco.
one fucking week.

it seems so far away, but i know that i don't have enough time to get everything done that i need to. like buy clothes. and sleep. and find my head. and find an amazing book to change my perspective while i am traveling (open to suggestions people!)

talking to preston, and getting ridiculously excited about my time in valencia. i can't believe how much fun it is going to be. i don't even have a plan, which isn't that strange for me, but i'm waiting for him to take me to an amazing place like a native. oh god - i am excited.

also excited about joining national leadership team. talking to charlie and andrew has got me so pumped to start working. i want so much for AIESEC here at Georgia Tech, but also improving what we have as a nation. i love AIESEC, and i will do anything for it at this point.

i think that i have stated my excitement level is high multiple times in the past few sentences. but i'll say it again: I AM SOOO EXCITED!

oh silly.

so RoKS was fun. i went in excited - and it was great to see so many kids that i met at WSC. really good sessions were had - and i had so much fun being a Facii. i mean - i feel i could have done better, but its an amazing experience! we had a little trouble with the partying issue...soon to be resolved i hope...we'll see. but good. yay roks and yay aiesec. (speaking of which - I am now on national leadership team!! yay!)

but now, before i leave for morocco and spain (yay! 9 days!) i need to focus. i need to go to class and figure what the hell is going on in my life. and what i am doing with it. i need to find a way to make me work. and get stuff done. and not skip class.

ok meeting time.

ps. bought lottery tickets - i want in on $340 million!

yay.

1st roks, check.
done and done.
i love aiesecers.
more later.

in like a lion....

its march already. can you believe that? march! 9 weeks from today is the last day of exams. the last day of my first year at college. that's mind boggling. more than mind boggling, its unbelievable.
and in just 2 weeks i will be in morocco! and tomorrow i will be in augusta, georgia, celebrating my very first RoKS!
i am soooo excited. you don't even know.

whoa.

just so you know.
i'm not dying anymore.
