Care
Yesterday, when I came back from work, I found this in front of my apartment.
For those of you who doesn't know Romanian language (like me), this is basically a notice from post office telling me that I received a package from somewhere outside of EU (or Romania...I forgot), and I need to go to their office and pick it up myself. The best part of it is that the office is open only during the weekdays from 9AM to 2:30PM, so I have no choice but to sneak out of work. Since I've taken like 10 days off in the past 5 months already for conferences and such, I was really nervous about taking 2 hours off from work to do this. Luckily, I did not have any important or urgent task at hand today, so I went to pick it up.
I kinda had an idea of who sent the package before going there. There are not many people outside of Romania who knows my current address: my family and AIESEC GT. My family sent me two packages (at the same time) already in September, so according to my logic, it must have been my home LC sending me a care package. (note - Care package is a system that we have in our LC to send a package to a trainee abroad to show the support from home LC and make them miss home)
On my way to post office, I was thinking that it's a bit too late to send me a care package, since I'm only days away from going back. But now that I got it, I say it's helluva a lot better than never. Seriously, I could cry reading the messages in the box if I were a girl. The OGX team even made a short video message for me, even though half of the people haven't seen me in person yet.

Laleh, my only request is that next time you should actually get on top of them to complete the pyramid.
I really love and am proud of my home LC.
They also included in the package more student newspaper from my university than I can read before going back, some American-quality candies (yummy), brain bogglers (it's basically puzzle made with two tangled metal chains, and you must untangle the chain to prove how smart you are), more soy sauce than I can use in months, and a harmonica...A harmonica!? Whoa! Finally music is somewhat back in my life!! Now I need to start practicing Christmas songs with it.
Thank you @GT, and I miss you guys too!!
