MC Selection

I spent previous days in Prague by running MC selection process. Together with other 11 candidates we applied for some position in Member Committee (MC) of AIESEC in the Czech Republic. After filling in quite a tough application we were invited to go through selection itself. It consisted of Assessment Centre, group discussion on AIESEC topics, interview with current MC members and interview with AIESEC alumni.

Did I feel nervous? Yep, I did. However, atmoshere was very friendly and for me personaly selection itself from the very beginning meant a kind of self reflection - how I am able to find information, what I know and do not know yet and I should, how I can cooperate with others, whether this is what I really want to do, how people perceive me as a potential MC member, what is my opinion on certain topic and if I am able to stand behind it... To be honest, I still do not know how to feel after selection as I still do not know the result. Anyway I feel comfortable as during selection I did not play any role, simply I behaved in my way, expressed my personality and ideas and by this I am satisfied. I realized again I am not a kind of person who can change opinions easily when it seems to be better for career or getting other benefit.

Between interview with current MC and interview with alumni I had free time so I walked in Prague. In Charles Bridge there are many statues which were originally "golden" by due to time, weather conditions and chemical reactions which I do not understand:) they got black. Except of one of them or two small places on one of them. As people still touch it and wish something it remained the same. Do not ask me about the story of this statue as I do not know it. Why am I talking about it? Of course once walking in Prague I had to go there and make a wish. Once I made it I realized even in a stress time of MC selection, even if I want to get there so much, I did not wish to get into MC. Somehow unconsciously I made the same wish as when I was there in June. Does it tell anything about my priorities and values? I have no idea. Wanna know what wish was that? I will not tell you - you know how it works with wish once being told aloud:)

My next steps...

So I did it... I applied for Member Committee of AIESEC in the Czech Republic. I made a decision about how I want to spend my next year. Right now I do not have an idea whether I will succeed in selection process. Anyway I will fight, support others, prepare, enjoy, live it... Together with 12 more applicants from the Czech Republic and some internationals.

Wow, I just came back from exam. After looong day full of non effective studies, 2 hours of sleep and "question chance" I made it. Uffff, finaly... I did not feel very comfortable when I went to faculty to pass my exam but now:) Need some sleep and food and probably I will go to city center to buy something to appraise my effort:) Typical woman...

This weekend I attended AIESEC conference concerning leadership. Content and the way of delivery was interesting and worth. We had quite interesting conversations, tried to find our personal values and way of life. I realized or confirmed many facts about me.

I like to be independent in my decisions. I like to express my feelings by dance or singing. It makes me happy to help people. I like simple things and enjoying moments. People generally like my spontaneity and enthusiasm. I am very emotional person relying on feelings a lot.

Conference was very intensive and helped me to "switch off" during long exam period, I could meet friends again and enjoy unique AIESEC conferences atmoshpere again.

Well, I was asked when I will update my blog... hmm what about now? sooo, what did I do? I would say nothing special. Xmas at home, fortunatelly with some snow, first non working NYE after 7(?) years (am I really so old?).

Then during Xmas news about Pakistan... honestly, normally I would not probably pay attention... but as friend of mine is living there I was interested in situation. Well, imagine situation you have some worries about him because of certain situation and besides news that he is safe and alive you also get a news he twisted his ancle. Childish? Stupid? Ridiculous? This is exactly his style.

Now back to school I am trying to handle exams. My last exams in my five year university history. I should probably somehow enjoy them but I do not. And besided mentioned I am taking some action steps to "be a pilot of my future life":)

And as year 2007 is over... To me it was very pleasent year full of new friends, nice places, lovely feelings - simply it was a year I do not want to forget. There are some people running in my head thingking back about 2007 and I want to tell THANK YOU! Who are they? In a huge amount of people I met in 2007 they are Milica, Judy, Geoffrey, Bruna, Piotr, KLepo, Rosťa, Petra, Ivo, Jana, Peťa, mum, bro, Franta, Hartoška, Barbára, Jaro, Peťula, Alex, Kuba, Margreet and may be even YOU:)
