Post Impact

Hi! So here we are on the other side of the impact weekend (to my non-CISV Sweden readers, impact is the national training system/weekends of CISV Sweden).

The weekend was really fun. It was great to meet a whole bunch of CISVers (going to Seminar, Youth Meeting and JCs). I also am now officially an expert on snow driving as I had to drive back and forth to the bus station quite a few times...

To the readers who were at the impact: was great to meet all of you, to train you a bit, to hang out during free time and to see and hear people's opinions and views. I especially enjoyed the agree/disagree questions in the evening's human rights activity because I could tell on one hand you had so much to say, and on the other, were really open to thinking about it (as many of you switched a minute or two after the question was read). And I'm sorry we couldn't develop deeper conversations on these topics but I guess that was part of the activity....

Oh, and a big thanks to people from making the effort to talk english in many of the sessions and in meals/free time!

I did however began developing a cold during this weekend which I've been trying to fight off using Sterpsils and eating oranges. :) Hopefully it doesn't get worse...

AND now that the impact weekend is behind me, I can start focusing on my next adventure which is my first time being a host here in Sweden. Yes! I have my first visitor from abroad coming this Thursday, my dear cousin Orit and I am very excited about her coming to see my new, snowy life. I am sure having someone from outside here will make me finally feel like an "insider". Suddenly I'll notice how much I've learned in the last month, right?

Ok, I will now go finalize the templates for the Seminar Camp Staff trainings and I will write more later this week.

Heydå.
