Weeping

M is leaving.
Brazil.

M, I know there is NO WAY you´re coming back after 6 months. They are going to love you as much as we do. I also know you´re gonna hate me for that blog entry, cos it sounds weepy and cheesy and crappy and sentimental. I DON´T CARE, HEAR ME?! i mean it.

This is the downside of aiesec, you get attached to people and then...WHOA...separated by a couple of thousands of miles.

"A goodbye is always painful, even if you´ve been looking forward to it for a very long time." (A. Schnitzler).

You´ve been looking forward to seeing something else.

And what is good about this goodbye? I know you´re gonna have the most amazing time :-)

Never enough money, never enough time














Have been thinking, here´s what i would like to become, all in this life:

  • a policy maker
  • an industrial designer
  • a surgeon
  • a journalist
  • a mechanical engineer
  • a quantum physicist
  • an architect
takes approximately 32 years, estimated cost: 500.000 Euro (and that´s very optimistic)
