Muy ocupado hoy!

I felt another brief update would be nice for today. Aside from watching the excitement of watching the goalie of France leave his net, I also made my own AIESEC business card today with the help of Beto--while learning how to use yet another software, Macromedia Freehand. Vera--Project Manager. I like the sound of that :) Now I have AIESEC mail too: vera.rocca@aiesec.net!

I also droped of an invitation to Cecilia from CEDER to speak at the conference for newbies about the importance of sustainability in development which will help AIESEC imbue a social consciousness its new members. Cecilia also called me today and we have a meeting with the top director of CEDER tomorrow, Oscar!

When I was writing a looooong update email to the team to promote good communication, I came across this quote that I'd like to share:

"The secret message communicated to most young people today by the society around them is that they are not needed, that the society will run itself quite nicely until they - at some distant point in the future - will take over the reigns. Yet the fact is that the society is not running itself nicely... because the rest of us need all the energy, brains, imagination and talent that young people can bring to bear down on our difficulties. For society to attempt to solve its desperate problems without the full participation of even very young people is imbecile." - Alvin Toffler

So I'm off to listen to the plethora of Spanish music I bought today, finish a presentation for the AIESEC newbies, make an application for the ones that want to participate in this project and maybe finish my Spanish homework. Hmmm...sweet memories of MAC...so I'll turn up the tune I don't understand and trabajo muchos!!

I'll post a link to some new pics soon.
