Weekends

First of all I had almost forgotten how it is to write for the blog.In fact, the fuss has been so hard in my daily life lately that the blog (even though beeping in every apparel I have to keep my agenda updated) was always relegated for last.I am writing today, Saturday, because when I opened the laptop (I confess, to play some PES 3) I notice the desktop shortcut for my proposition for blog themes, and since I am at this very moment on a wooden porch, in the middle of the mountains, where it takes me 10 mins by car to get to the nearest asfalt road, at least 40 mins to the nearest city (and it is small), I felt I had the perfect environment to do so.The valley is in front of me the river s flowing, birds are sinigin, almond tress flowering... damn I feel lik a poet.It is quite cool up here, the stove and overn are fed by wood, so all the food tastes different and even the coffee (in a Moka coffee apparel) tastes better.It is quite relaxing to come up here. This week was absolutely crazy.From Tuesday to Thursday I was researching hard and producing a report for school.We ave a Marketing plan to elaborate in 4 months (the 2nd semester) and we had to do the diagnosis within 3 weeks.I was quite lucky to get so much help from the company I chose as everysingle data I needed was there, so I only had to find extra data that would provide added value and diferentiate my report.Nevertheless, we still have classes (and papers) for the other 5 disciplines in the course, I still have several projects on my lap, plus some trainings to provide.So on thursday, the day we had to deliver the 1st report plus a presentation, it was quite hectic for me, and unfortunately the result was way bellow what was asked and specially what I was expecting from myself.Oh well, you only learn until you miss the shot, so I will be extremely mad if the next deadline is not fullfilled with excellence, let's see.At least yesterday I started a new training course (the second of 5) and it is funny to see that even though the trainees come from the same company, with the same job function, and that what I ask from them is the same, the outcome is quite diferent.Even so, I am enjoying it everyday more as it is very rewarding and if I may say so I think I have some skill for it. And I feel that I learn as much as the 15 people in there, even though in different aspects. I try to get them in touch with realities and skills for their job, and I get in return experience in dealing with groups as well as what they feel and their needs are. Well it is just great!!
