9 Months - Review

Hello you all...

9 months... ready to give birth... or not

Well, the situation here could be seen as good: I have roommates (Nina from Germany and Marta from Poland/Germany), I have more friends, there are more trainees here in Guatemala.

But in the other hand, I still am disappointed with my work. I guess I think I was never really happy with what I do here. Sometimes I question myself If I really should keep on the Information Technology field. I like it, but I think my human skills are also good and could be used better, and I also don't like many things in the IT field.

I guess I miss home a lot again, after some time not missing it too much, now I feel like going there again.

Also problems with Novartis(the company I work) and AIESEC, sometimes I guess the only thing that keeps me from leaving is the commitment between me, AIESEC and Novartis. And the company is really trying to break the chain (last year there were 10 trainees, this year only me and next year...?)

Today I was thinking about it: If Novartis itself don't want to work with AIESEC anymore, what about me?

I don't know how to say it differently, but I can't see why someone would like to leave its country to live here in Guatemala. The place is so unfriendly, specially to foreigners... Even for the local people travelling is almost the ultimate dream. Yesterday I was talking with a colombian and an argentinian. We were discussing about Guatemala, and we couldn't find many good points about living here. The best thing about the country are the landscapes and places to see: volcanos, lakes, mountains, mayan ruins.

That's sad, and makes you wonder: what am I doing here?

Well, sorry for the sad post folks. It is my reality, I am sad.

Hope everything gets better soon.

Please leave comments, maybe they can help me cheer up or take a decision.

Brazil, still miss u!
