I’m still working at my old workplace at the university. It’s been 4 years since I first walked in this office, it’s like a lifetime and I think I will remember it as one the coolest jobs I had. No schedule, funny colleagues, very cool boss, nights spent over when something was not working, first steps in understanding design-web-computer networks.

Lot’s of memories bind me to this place and people with all good and bad times, bonds almost as strong as my AIESEC experience. A part of me is literally in every piece of this office: in the paint on the walls, the boards of the floor, the equipments, the folders in the other room, every piece of web code and databases, every configuration file and scripts on the servers, and mostly in the people here. The team of five that made it all possible. Trust me, we did achieve the impossible together. Although I try to postpone the moment as long as I can as each day passes I realize that it’s time to it’s time to spread my wings and fly away. For me there’s nothing more to learn, nothing more to experience, nothing more to develop, to grow to create … Not here.

It’s funny, my friends promote me like crazy and I got around 7 job offers without even expressing the slightest interest in this direction. I think I’m just enjoying this last calm period before I really go on with my life. I’ve been joining some conferences around the country where I was invited and yes, I’m still amazed of the people AIESEC can bring together, of the cool bright sparkle of passion in these kids :).

I feel like floating right now, I don’t think I had a period in my life where I was so calm and relaxed and in the same time I never felt more confused about things, for the first time in my life I don’t see clearly where I’m heading. Of course I have a plan, I’ve set deadlines and boundaries, that doesn’t change a bit what I’m feeling right now. It’s intense, consuming, confusing … So hard to pin-point, to describe. The song that you’re probably listening right now that somehow describes how I feel right now. I’ve posted the lyrics bellow.

Keane – Everybody’s Changing^[1]

You say you wander your own land
But when I think about it
I don’t see how you can
You’re aching, you’re breaking
And I can see the pain in your eyes
Says everybody’s changing
And I don’t know why

So little time
Try to understand that I’m
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody’s changing
And I don’t feel the same

You’re gone from here
And soon you will disappear
Fading into beautiful light
‘Cause everybody’s changing
And I don’t feel right

So little time
Try to understand that I’m
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody’s changing
And I don’t feel the same

Oh…
Everybody’s changing
And I don’t feel the same

Thanks for tuning in,
