OP Day - Complicated Arrival

The Outgoing Preparation Day was on Saturday (27th october) from 9:30 to 17:30.
We had to arrive between 9:00 and 9:30 so tat we had enough time to register.

I slep at a friend of mine, not too far from the place where the OPD took place. My friend walked me to the building I was supposed to go to. I went in... I saw nothing related to this event, which was quite weird. I looked for some signs, I went through some corridors, but I found nothing. So I went to the reception and asked about the AIESEC. He said it is on the 2nd floor angd somebody has already arrived there.
At this point I became relaxed, that now everything will be ok.
I went up to the 2nd floor, I went through a long passage end eventually I arrived to the door. I knocked and opened the door. There was only one girl in there (a small office). I was quite surprised, and I asked about the OPD. She said it that it was in the other! building.....
I asked for the direction, and after she to me where to go (go out and then right, and then left and right...)
I asked: 'Is it possible to get there within 12 minutes?'
th answer was 'Well, we usually make it in 10 minutes during the breaks'
'Okay, thanks'

The rain was silently pouring, I had no umbrella (of course :D).. But I managed to reach the other building in 8 minutes, without getting totally soaked through ^^

I was in time ^^

I registered and after a short while the OPD started. :)

The travel to the OP Day

I have been to the Outgoing Preparation Day on Saturday.

It wasn't a smooth travel :D I went to Budapest on Friday, and I slept at my friend's house.

Right at the moment I got on the bus in my hometown I wanted to check the time.. on my phone.. which was (as I realized at that moment) peacefully waiting for me on my desk. In my room. At home.

"Okay, don't worry, you can manage without it.."

Well, at least I had some time to rest (after 20 minutes, when a seat became empty and I could sit down) till that i was chatting with a man, he was kind enough to offer me his seat. But I refused it saying it'll be okay like this too. So after I took seat I couldn't listen to music (on my phone) or listen to japanese lessons (on my phone) or use the japanese dictionary (omp), or use the WiFi - this was the first bus I've travelled by that had WiFi :D ... so I just tried to enjoy doing nothing and I just relaxed.

It was 20 minutes before the official arriving time, that we were still 40km away from Budapest. It was 10 minutes before the official arriving time, that we were still 20km away from Budapest. It was at the official arrivig time that we reached Budapest. And then we got into a traffic jam..

I couldn't call my friend who was waiting for me, so eventually he stood at the bus station for 40 minutes.

I was so sorry for him >_>

But finally I arrived, and everything was fine...till the next morning, wen I got into ~a bit of~ trouble again :D

Interview and CV

Yesterday (Oct. 24, Wed) I had the interview in the AIESEC office. It was a good experience. I think it is good that I was thinking about the possible questions before. So I could come up with some clear answers. *‿*

It was a short interview in english. I've already experienced being on the other side, so fortunately it wasn't that much of a surprise. (Although I got 1 or 2 questions that I've already forgotten about, that was the time when I really had to improvise.) It was interesting :)

I have already gave in my application and my CV beforehand (okay, I handed in the final, extended version of the CV at the time of the interview). I think I managed to make a visually pleasing CV, with logically sorted, relevant data. It wans't that easy as it may sound  ..to think over your past activities that can be called professional experience. >__>

The day after tomorrow (Oct. 27, Sat) I will go to the Exchange Preparation Day in Budapest. I'm quite excited about it. ^-^

The Beginning

How I got to know AIESEC?

It was back in april this year (2012). There was an international day at school, and I decided ti see it for myself. At that time I realized, that I was hesitating too much about a certain scholarship I wanted to apply. So eventually I got over-aged O.O
I realized that nothing will come of continuing the daydreaming. I have to take the first step, finally!

So I went to the international day, I gathered some flyers, when I saw the 'info desk' of AIESEC, I went there and asked for some information. This is where the whole thing started.

Things were happening fast, I became a member of the organization. After about 1-1,5 months I had a longer break in the summer, but this fall I rejoined, yay :)

Now in october, I decided to go on an internship. ^^

So let the story begin...
