Exactly one year ago Diego has received the news that he was accepted at IMD.
Finally another big dream came true.
And them we started the countdown ...
Suddenly we had only three months to prepare everything for the year : many things at work, antecipate my final paper in my post graduation, professional decisions to make, goodbye parties, and ... nothing.
My personal decision was that I wasn't "getting ready" to my life in Lausanne. I decided that the best thing for me was not expect anything for this year. Just come to Lausanne with my cloths , my computer, camera and of course with Diego.
It was a big decision for me. But it was the right one for me. It's very easy for people to high the expectations and this way highly likely get disappointed.
I've came to this experience with open heart, open mind and open soul hoping that I had the extra patience that is required to be a partner of an IMD student and to be as supportive as I could be for Diego.
I don't regret at all.
I confess that the first weeks I had butterflies in my stomach mainly because I was "afraid" of the other partners.Would I like them ? Would we do things together ? Would we became friends ? What if I don't like one of them and I will have to live with this person for one entire yeatr?
After 9 months this and other questions seems crazy.
Not only I knew incredible people but also knew their cultures and little by little we became friends.
And now we are in countdown again to come back home ....
These next days we will start saying goodbyes to our friends, to people that are part of our lives now...
It's a mix of sadness and happiness altogether at the same time.
At the same time that I'm very happy to come back to my country, to my old friends, to my family and to my work I'm sad because I will leave this new friends behind ...
...
But we still have 2,5 months together =)
Life is short. So let's enjoy life and have a great time together.
