No title

Sorry for the silence on my blog. I have felt the need to write something here because a lot of things have been going through my mind lately and many things have been happening. But I have also been a bit torn: how much can I actually write here, how personal I can be and how much can I treat this as my diary?
Well this is what has been happening and is going to happen:
  • My mom and sister are coming to visit me!!! :D They are arriving on the 5th April and they are staying for 10 days - it's soo exciting!!
  • I have decided not to let other people's opinions about me or my work get to me. It's not easy but I have to because otherwise I will get nothing done.
  • I have been through some of the most challenging moments here in Pakistan so far. And I've learnt a lot about myself, others and how I've changed.
  • I never got to go to IPM because of issues with my Pakistani visa (and I still haven't gotten it)... And it took me some time to settle with the thought. I'm ok with it now even though I know I missed a lot, especially creating that crucial network.
  • AIESEC Pakistan got full membership status at IPM!!! :D WE DID IT!!
  • I've realized how hard it is going to be to leave Pakistan and to leave the people I care most about behind. But as a very wise person said: "make memeories and stop dwelling on the future it will come, concentrate on the now". And that is exactly what I'm going to do ;)
Ok.. that's it for now ;) More coming up soon! Promise :)

Hi,

We certainly missed you in IPM but I always believe that life is smarter than us. Maybe you were not meant to experience the weird "closing plenary." :)

I will be way gone to the Philippines when you are back in Scandinavia but see you online!
