Last LC meeting in 2006

Yesterday, we had our last meeting in this year for the whole local. It's funny, just today when I was in the office talking to one of our members, Tarvi, we thought that half of the year has gone past so quickly. Soon it's the election time of new MC after that some months and it's time to apply for the EB of LC Tallinn and our term will be over. That is a bit sad, but I'm sure interesting times are ahead of us all.

Anyways, I didn't really want to talk about that, moreover, I'd like to reflect a bit on yesterday's meeting :) So we started off pretty smooth, all of the most important people in our LC had a chance to say what they have been up to and what's the status of their projects and all. It was really great to hear that people have been busy and what's even better, one of our project manager's is going to a company meeting tomorrow and one of our cool new members is going with him to get the experience.

Then later on we had a really cool session about AIESEC values by Vika - do you know what they are? If not, do you know where to find them? If not, do you know to whom to turn with this kind of questions? :) Well, I hope you already know at least the question to the last question :D We also went over some really basic things, just to refresh our memory about them. And that got me really thinking about my job experience in the summer where supposedly, we were to have refresher trainings each month - and trust me, the systems and processes there were lot easier than in AIESEC. So here's a thought for next years to come.

Another thing that really made me wonder was that most of the time, people were softly chatting on the background while we spoke. But once I started to talk about the thing I had prepared earlier for the meeting... well, the audience went really quiet and for a second there, I thought I'd scared them with something. But that's the thing, I have prepared something and I so much want to attach to it that I forget to do it interactivly, so it would be interesting and to get people speaking up and asking questions. Hmm, some things to think over for the next times, I believe :)

So all in all, the meeting was such a success in my point of view and Siki's session added such value to it. For a moment there, even I managed to imagine what I've done so far and see a glimpse of myself in few months from now. I really liked how many people were present and the atmosphere was just awesome. As I said to one of my dear friends just moments ago - my relationship with AIESEC is pretty great and what motivates me the most are people, the social atmosphere. Knowing that we can have loads of fun even in the LC meeting and we don't have to have a drinking party for that - this is really priceless and something to take with me to the year 2007.

See you all in our Christmas party - let's make it yet another unforgivable event ;)
