i've moved! check out the new space!!

In the process of retiring my dear nomadlife after two years to move on to something bigger and better, blogwise. watch out for links to a new blog, a summer's worth of updates, and news on the future.

this time tomorrow.

I am at such a loss for words on how to describe leaving. And then this song popped up on my iPod on my last bus ride home from AUC.

This time tomorrow where will we be
On a spaceship somewhere sailing across an empty sea
This time tomorrow what will we know
Well we still be here watching an in-flight movie show

I'll leave the sun behind me and watch the clouds as they sadly pass me by
Seven miles below ma I can see the world and it ain't so big at all
This time tomorrow what will we see
Field full of houses, endless rows of crowded streets

I don't where I'm going, I don't want to see
I feel the world below me looking up at me
Leave the sun behind me, and watch the clouds as they sadly pass me by
And I'm in perpetual motion and the world below doesn't matter much to me

This time tomorrow where will we be
On a spaceship somewhere sailing across any empty sea
This time tomorrow, this time tomorrow
- The Kinks.

This time tomorrow, I will be on the other side of the world. And ready, I think, for the next big step that it will bring. But tonight, it's time to say goodbye.

there will be a Cairo shaped hole in my Heart.

"When arriving in a city, we see streets in perspective. Sequences of buildings with no meaning. Everything is unknown, virgin.

Later we'll have lived in this city. We'll have walked in its streets. We'll have been to the end of the perspectives. We'll have seen all the buildings. We'll have lived stories with people. When we'll have lived in this city, we'll have taken this street five, ten, hundreds of times.

After a moment, everything belongs to you because you've lived there."

-L'auberge espagnole

MIS 2009

AIESEC in Egypt and the people that I have met through it constantly reminds me of the power of AIESEC. This conference has made me think a great deal about who I am in AIESEC, what I am able to do through this organization, and how to continue developing within the organization. AIESEC is not perfect, and neither am I - but we fit together in a way that has inherently changed who I am. I want to thank AIESEC in Egypt for making this past year what it was for me, and the people in this organization for being members of my Egyptian family.
