In the past month
this is what has happened to my life.
1. I got a new sister.
2. I spent a significant amount of money.
3. I have accomplished no great feats.
4. I realized how homesick I am for Georgia Tech.
5. I fell in love with Russell Brand.
6. I have significantly freaked out more than usual.
7. I have not yet packed, or gotten any closer to packing.
8. I have read no less than seven books.
I leave Sunday for Cairo. Let's hope I don't break down before then.

A messy rebirth.
I don't even feel like I need to write about it, but I can't wrap my head around it yet. It's a chance for us who have been calling for something better to be that change in the organization that has so irrevocably changed us. Where do we stand, reborn? How do we grow again? Who will be the leaders, the teachers, the guiders? Can I count myself among them when I will be so far away? Will I be the new AIESEC US? Do I have the strength to be greater than those whose shoulders I have built upon? To be stronger? To be more humble in the face of the members that give me power? Because we are nothing without our smallest member, our newest face to the AIESEC family. I just know that my home, my family, is back on the map, and I couldn't be more proud of the work that they have done in the past two years I have known them.
