Awesome-oooh

Thinking about how much I would fail again, considering how long i haven't been there and the memory of the 3 weeks multicoloured eye sensation, which was pretty much the last time i've gone...i hardly was expecting any overwhelming feelings and far away from any success to shine this time.

Since our last time attendance it seemed all the different types have been tought already, Diabolo (which luckily I have at home and I am confident to handle), Devil Sticks, Clubs, one-wheeler, and so on ... so on. I saw everyone just using the one or the other and making the various colours and movemements of circus scenery just look great. So here I was standing in front of these huge magic fun cupboard deciding between safety and ego-satisfaction of the Diabolo or some new kicks and hights of a different kind which potentially might end up as miserably as previous attempts.

Devil Sticks were the best choice ever and as of now initiated great enthusiasm that they are the awesome-oh fun thing to do this summer. Oh Yaah!

Diversity as it comes across sometimes...

I watched the Diversity episode of the BBC Comedy show: The Office last night and while I was still antipicating, thinking about the typical faux pas they would show and about having some good laughter, the presented put everything imaginable into the shadow. Oh man, it was hilarious and at the same time gave you sometimes tothaches of the worst kind when it hit the nerves.

Not too long ago I came across another greatly, insightful suggestion on Diversity. I read to have a yearly country theme for the company and as we would have the year 2006 - let's say being the year of the country Turkey, all employees who would be going to Turkey this year could get a subsidiy of 100 EUR of their company.

Diversity, hurray - where can i sign?

Happy New Year

After a wonderful Raclette - Dinner at Wings and Achims place we moved on to a concert in Cologne with Erik Sumo from Budapest, and other musicians from Lagos and London. The entire event was Live on Air in a national radio channel .

So the New Years eve after all was celebrated with lots of friends, half of them coming from a different countries, in fact all of them being former AIESECers.

With all the amenities of the New Year's night and celebrations, 2006 is also holding in store a lot of work, mainly juggling between graduation and work, which unfortunatly will demand a lot of planning and above all "self-discipline" - ouh that words itself triggers some strange feeling and weird associations. This akward feeling of being Mrs Self-Discipline next year is accompanied by the fact that for the very first time in my life my personal life would be mapped out and planned like those workplans with detailled objectives, achievables, and milestones. For anyone being interested how this works, ask me in a couple of months ;)

And for the German speaking among us, I can recommend a good book on self-discipline (or the audioversion is faster to "consume") by Marco Münchhausen "Wie sie Ihren inneren Schweinehund überwinden"
