Repeat after me: CA-NA-DA!

More than 9 months, 7 international applications, uncounted online MSN, Skype and phone interviews LATER, I am preparing to step towards acheiving my professional and personal goal for this year... working for AIESEC in a different AIESEC country!
I had totally lost hope... in the certainty that there is a chance somewhere; that there is a new place awaiting for me; that I have what it takes and I am still needed... Everything seemed a dead end and I could not help hitting my head agains the obstacle of my failure... and then... it just came- an e-mail read just by chance: AIESEC in Canada needed an experimented AIESECer to bring back to life a Local Committee in the city of Guelph... 5 seconds:

5... and my heart and ambition were back in the game! :o)
I got my answer on the 20th..."We are expecting you here by September 29th!"
I was in shock...of happiness, of incredible bewilderment, of ranging energies flowtting out of me... undescribleble spiritual peace and stormy excitement!

Uuuuuuuuhhhhhhuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!

I already packed and moved down to Brasov; I already said "See you soon!" to my friends in Sibiu; I've started shopping; I've started thinking ahead; I've started dreaming! Happy to do this again with a real puropse...

It seems that the more you want to go, the more there are issues, situations, people getting in the way... to be weak and admit that you need to be stronger it's a journey... a discovery of your soul, of your limits, of your confidence within... The last 9 months have thought me about hard-work, hope, commitment, struggle, dreams, shattered dreams, failure, lonliness, wrath, despair, re-discovery, magic and the power of my being... about believing in myself again! Never lost this... it was just playing "Hide and Seek" with me, I am sure about it!

And now... sitting in my pyjs, shivering of anxiety and excitment.... having so many mixed feelings... it's mind blowing!
There are soo many things for which I want to go... but there are soo many things for which I want to stay!
The incredible came down and struck me between my eyes and deep inside my heart lately... people, memories and all have scrued around with my head...

Going to North America again... visiting another country... getting submerged into a new culture, facing challenges, breaking walls, making new friends, working to leave a mark behind! Aaaaaaaaahh!!!! The small pleasures of life! :o)
The excitment of living, the greatness of a new discovery, the thrill of dreams to come and of dreams awaiting for me home...

4 months in Canada... I cannot help but wondering... I cannot help but dreaming...
Hope you have your pyjamas on and working on your dreams...
See you on the other side!
Miruna :o)
