I took the 43 Things Personality Quiz and found out I'm a
Self-Knowing Self-Improving Tree Hugger

Some thoughts

It's been 2 weeks since I arrived here. One word to describe the experience so far: REAL. I think it's for the first time when I feel that AIESEC is not just a dream world, but something really connected to the rest of the universe.

I have a new routine that involves waking up at 7 or 8 (hate it, but I have to live with it), working in the office, eating daily apples, sandwiches and pasta, going out more than I did it in the last 3 months, waiting in Piazza Venezia for the night bus, passing near the flower/drugs shop at 3 a.m. It's nice to have an apartment, especially after 2 years and a half in a dorm. I can't wait for the moment when I will have my own apartment (and hopefully my own Smart). You know, Rome is the city where they sale the most Smarts. That's amazing! You can see them everywhere, in the smallest parking places or in between normal cars that seem giants. And they are not that expensive either (around 10000 euros).

So many things have crossed my mind in the last weeks. Again, I discovered so many things about myself (no strenghts though, only things to be improved). I am trying to ge out of my confort zone every day. On a professional level, by working with my TL (why the storming part with my leaders always takes such a long time??), by trying to write something for my thesis (and again it's not going that well)... on a personal level, I realised I made friends faster and easier than in Brazil and I challenged a lot my perspective on relationships.

I like being here. Maybe because of the challenges, maybe because of the city, maybe because of the people, maybe because I'm running away from something really scary that awaits me at home, maybe because of the awasome discussions I had with my team mates.

Back to work now....
