AIESEC Austin Reception Weekend

Since Jesse chastised me for always writing about my birthday, I am dedicating this entry to another topic: AIESEC Austin's Reception Weekend.

Being how this was the last AIESEC reception weekend I have participated in as a full fledged member, I definately want to congradulate Austin for pulling off such a great weekend. From Dollar Margaritas to the morning we left, everything was a blast. Austin itself also exceeded my expectations and was a very nifty little town. Instead of writing long paragraphs about all that went down this weekend, below is a list of the highlights:

- Meeting Samir Khader. My journalism professors would be proud.
- Meeting all the legendary Nomadlifers (including the nomadlife god, himself)!
- 6th Street fun - minus The Ritz.
- Jesse's Mexican food.
- Kiddie Pool War.
- The Duck.
- Power Hour & the Onion.
- Eric & Jesse as hosts for International Showcase (Animal facts!)
- Mexican Martinis at Trudy's. Apparently, I can feel them after two. I'm still not too sure how I got to Jesse's Apartment afterwards.
- That damned picture with Drake posted on the homepage of Nomadlife for all to see...and not finding out about it until the next morning! All these years of maintaining my good reputation, all in vain!
- The attempted tour of Austin at 5am. Angie's need to use the WC postponed the tour till the next day. An Irish Experience is a damn good tour guide.
- Barton's Creek - "dog orgy!"
- "Waterbody"
- The Pomeranian story.
- The BBQ with 40 pounds of meat. The mashed potatoes & salad were also very good.
- Drake finally remembering my name - and me selling it all out for a jack and coke.
- Being the first victim of Trent & Jesse's cement mixer. Will never fall for it again.

It's true, the virus I got slowed me down considerably this weekend (I think I got it from a group mate), so it's very much a shame I did not feel well enough to throw myself into all the shenaneganz of the weekend. However, it was still great seeing some old faces, meeting new ones, and putting some faces behind the names. And again, I gave it up to Austin for hosting a great weekend - what a weekend to mark the end of my AIESEC career.

Thanks again, Austin!

All my best to Fluffy Foo and Precious...too bad my first and last sight of them were when then were de-feathered and de-gutted.
