Transition Month

if you have been in AIESEC for at least a year, you know what the word "transition" means. It is when an EB/MC transfers information and knowledge to the team coming after them so they can do a really good job. Some do a great job in passing this information and knowledge across, other are just downright crappy at it. And of course, some just skip the whole thing totally.

www.dictionary.com defines transition as:

tran·si·tion ( P ) Pronunciation Key (trn-zshn, -ssh-)n.

- Passage from one form, state, style, or place to another.
- Passage from one subject to another in discourse.
- A word, phrase, sentence, or series of sentences connecting one part of a discourse to another.
- Music.
- A modulation, especially a brief one.
- A passage connecting two themes or sections.
- Genetics. A point mutation in which a pyrimidine is replaced by another pyrimidine, or a purine is replaced by another purine.
- Sports. The process of changing from defense to offense or offense to defense, as in basketball or hockey.
- A period during childbirth that precedes the expulsive phase of labor, characterized by strong uterine contractions and nearly complete cervical dilation.

June is the date when a lot of MCs in AIESEC go through "transition" and AIESEC Sweden is no different. It has been a hectic, frenetic pace and if you add the fact that i am in top gear for another transition, you can imagine how messed up i have been in the last 2 weeks. Like my host LCP in Auckland put it, i am "...winding up my life in Sweden to begin a totally new one" And across several time zones i might add. I havent REALLY begun to get into the "mood" yet. All the things i am doing now are still a bit mechanical, i havent started feeling NZ yet. I know it will come but i hope i get those 4 days off in July just to reflect on my year here in Sweden. Transition. Definitely Transition.

But back to Sweden transition. Its been pretty intense i can tell you with trying to stay on top of the quite extensive visa process for NZ and the equally hectic transition. I had to re-schedule my day today so i could get more than 4-5 hours of sleep. Thank you Anton for the flexibility.

But what a transition it has been so far! I had shared the wonderful weekend we had in Nörkoping in an earlier post and now i was finally able to get the pictures from Emma's camera. The picture here is of me enjoying the nice weather with the beautiful lake behind me.

PS
There is something seriously wrong either with my computer or blogger. Its not uploading pics to the posts properly. Anybody else having the same problem?
