update

This month has been wonderful for me.
I met many new people: new AIESEC members, friends' friends, new interns in the company, new trainees, OCs and visitors of the job fair, strangers during my journey…
And they all have one thing in common: extremely nice and friendly.
It's just so hard for me not to fall in love with Romania.
I also had some new first-times experiences during this period: first time to see real snow in the city, first time to hitchhike with a coach (not car, but the carriage with a horse), first time to climb up the mountain with the height that I never think I'll be able to make it, first time to have the LC meeting with 100 people in the ballroom of a nice hotel, first time to wear cheongsam in a job fair to present Qual Design, first time to go for a beer or party eight times in a week, first time to involve in the OC team of AIESEC Cluj, first time to try graphic design…good or bad, I just felt so lucky to have the chance to experience these first-times.
I truly enjoy this kind of life in Romania, full of surprises and I never know what's waiting for me next.
Now I'm excited about the business support fair in a few days since it's a national fair and Qual Design is the only advertising agency which can participate.
I also can't wait for the coming National Preparation Seminar because it's the biggest national conference of AIESEC Romania and this time I have the chance to involve in the OC team and the special track for trainees.
Look back my traineeship so far, although sometimes I couldn't help but feel really frustrated about some culture differences and barriers and even until now I don't know if there'll be one day that I can overcome them, I just feel so luck to be here, to meet the people that change my life.
And even though sometimes I felt frustrated, it was still great since I wouldn't have the chance to experience all these if I didn't leave my comfort zone.
One of my important goals for my traineeship is to find out my personal vision and what I want to do in the future.
Right now I have to say I only know that I don't want to become a total workaholic and would like to spend time on the people important to me.
I don't have a clear vision yet and sometimes I feel even more confused.
Why?
Because after experiencing so different culture, what I believe before doesn't seem to be so true to my anymore.I guess it's a good thing for me, and hope that by the end of this traineeship I'll be able to discover my vision and future plans gradually and then have the courage to pursue what I really want.
