So not much happened on the weekend- except it SNOWED!!! zomg it was so cool man, like it was like a fairytale. Cars had so much ice on their windscreens it was great.
Im slightly over my homesickness. I think a weekend of relaxing fixed that. Like today I have pretty much done nothing, except watch gossip girl, pineapple express (lol Fork da police), californication, rush hour, and boondocks lol. But I needed some time to get my bearings. Like for the last I dont know how many days it has been all go. Now I corrected myself, it should be good. My other responsibilites like VPTM will get a good work output this week, so be prepared Ek.
Im a little afraid of work tomorrow. I need to go in there with confidence and tell them what we will do over the next 11 weeks or so. But I can do it. Madina was showing me some motivational videos, one of a man who lost his arms and legs. His approach to life was so inspired, I was touched (shoosh people who think im a girl) the video can be found by searching "the best motivational video" in youtube. Im in favour of the one by Will Smith. "If you want something, go get it, period." And its dam true.
I may be getting slightly off kazakhstan, so let me get back. Ive been relaxing with the company of friends. Saturday night we began with pre drinks at the apartment followed by going to Chacotka, and then another friends house. I have to say the ice is slow slippery now. Like you can slide everywhere lol.
I had a burger combo from Kind Burger today lol. Since no real western companies or chains are allowed in Kazakhstan, the local population is free to create copies, like kind burger, king burger, Mcburger etc. However they do have a real KFC though. Btw everything is sweet over here, particulary the coke...
Ive been coaching Madina a little on a member of hers. From her explanation, it seems the member is very old fashioned, more than a bit sexist, and is very cynical. I suggested quite a harsh tactic- If this member thinks he can run the team better than Madina, why dont u give him the reins for a week. That should sought him out. If he does a good job, then good for him. If he doesn't, in which case he will fail, maybe he will reevaluate Madina as a leader and the responsibilities of such a leader.
I can tell you (as you would know already) saying something and doing something are very different things. Really. Ive sold exchange and AIESEC to a fair amount of people. But doing it is so different. Like its not the trips to the mountains, nor the escapades to the various bars and clubs (btw did I tell you about cocacabana? it was an awesome cuban salsa club. I actually danced with Sasha, but dont expect me to get any better lol) The reality hit me when I was sitting and enjoying Pineapple express (the movie). Im living a dream, and with my current music selection (hotel california by the eagles, I miss my guitar btw) its feeling good.
Im starting to see how it is for someone living on there own. There are alot of things you must think about. Washing, groceries are the main ones, but there is so much more. I
Anyway guys. Ill have a much more eventful day tomorrow lol.
Take it easy.
