Edmonton!!!

I'm currently looking for flights for AIESEC Canada's NC 2007.

After browsing the amazing new website: http://www.aiesecconferences.ca I found out that this mall is a few minutes from West Edmonton Mall!!!

Now, believe me, I don't enjoy shopping at all, but given how long i've spent in this country & thanks to AIESEC & random road trips i've seen different parts of it, i'll hopefully get to see the 4th LARGEST MALL IN THE WORLD!!!

I'm actually quite excited about this conference right now, I checked youtube (searching AIESEC) & found some new videos I hadn't seen yet, I can't wait until we all get there, the cheering begins, they let us into plenary to continue cheering, to begin dancing, to sit & watch the roll calls, LCs, host LC, OC, MC!!!

The familiar faces, the new faces!

Interestingly my first AIESEC conference began in Alberta

I'm also very excited about my next meeting with the MC, which will be another full day meeting!

:)

When what you thought would be one of your key failures turns out to be a key success you can't help but smile!

I'm wrong a lot, i'm never this happy about it!!!

Every Day...

So I got another bill in the mail (always a horrible thing to get) but then I changed my billing.
I will now only get online billing! Now they don't have to waste that much paper anymore!!!

From this bill, it said I talk on the phone approximately an hour a day. So I wanted to see what I do every day so that I can be more productive:

Activity	Hours
Wake up/Get Ready	1
Meals	1.5
Sleep	8
Phone	1
Transport/Other	1.5
Class	3
Studying/Working	8

So now it's time to cut the times of non-productive activities, & hold myself accountable to work I get done when I have that many hours to do it in.

:(

Due to heavy mail traffic, we had disabled the spam. We will restore it back, once the mail queue gets down. Thank you for your patience.

AIESEC.net Team

I love you!

This is for an organization that means a lot to me, but specifically the Canadian chapter

AIESEC Canada

Where the CEED program began
Where the travel smurf & You-Can began
Where you can find many AIESEC International Alumni
Where you can find Hall of Fame Alumni
Where many BCPs are created

If I wasn't from here I would be very jealous of AIESEC Canada

Because i'm from here, I try my best to live up to the standard that we have created for ourselves

Email?

I woke up today & found no new emails. That hasn't happened in so long that I don't remember when the last time was, probably while I was in high school. The only thing I needed to do was delete junk mail, this is after checking 6 email accounts! (although I stayed up a lot later than I wanted to because I couldn't sleep, I didn't get any emails the whole time)

So naturally I thought maybe something was wrong with AIESEC.net, but it looks fine!

Maybe this is a sign of something?

Anyways, being November, the question asked all the time is "what are you doing next?"

My focus is on completing my current term as successfully as possible, however I am reading the applications for the different opportunities which become available. I guess i'll apply for whatever I am interested in, I have a couple of things in mind but am not sure if i'll be available to do too much until after I graduate, or maybe it's time to move on...

I have this blog account while also having another one, it is mostly to remind myself even that I have a life outside of AIESEC, I am a person before i'm an AIESECer, my name is Puneet Duggal, my title does not matter too much, but the role I play is one that i'm happy with, which somewhat changes every year anyways. I also really wanted this account because of the words "My AIESEC" this is similar to the AIESEC.net front page. The two of those (your blog & your front page) can be customized to be what you want them to be, so for me, AIESEC is about constantly learning from the many communities i'm on, about sharing experiences & resources, is about connecting with people & developing yourself while you help develop eithers personally & professionally. When I see a student I see a potential member or a potential intern, when I see a company I see a potential partner, when I see applications I see opportunities. It's interesting how quickly we become revolutionary in AIESEC, before finding out why things are the way they are, we decide that things can be better & start working towards making them better, but different isn't always better.

Very reflective on this otherwise silent day...

World Values Survey

Found this interesting site as I was trying to learn more about what factors of the external environment affect AIESEC the most, may not seem like th emost exciting thing, but once I understand why I can try & see if there is anything that can be done, or what needs to be done differently

It's also a good read if you ar interested in what the rest of the world finds most important

Challenge Your World View

After finishing an exam which was half as long as I thought it would be, I decided to take a break from things & saw what was on tv. Rather than watching the rest of the basketball game (which by the way my team lost) I watched this movie called Lord of War.

Good movie, showing the life of an arms dealer, ended with the fact that the movie was based on true events & that while arms dealers thrive today, the biggest dealers are the US, UK, Russia, France & China, which are the Permanent Members of the UN Security Council

I've seen a bunch of movies/documentaries whcih are really good & always lead to concern for these issues, but I should really do much more than just care.
