It's been a typical Monday. You know, when it's difficult to step out of the bed in the morning, it feels uninspiring to leave the flat. It feels like there's a lifetime between now and the weekend.
But this morning I actually woke up with a fat smile on my face. The victory from yesterday meant a lot to me. It's been a long season and I've had to step up for my team when evil minds attacked the superiority of Internazionale, anno 2007/2008.
My favorite Iranian club Persepolis were also crowned champions the other day. They recruited the succesful former South Korean assistant manager Afshin Ghotbi before this season and he brought the cup back to Azadi after six years of drought. Next year we'll fight in the AFC Champions League and hopefully make it to the FIFA World Club Championship where the future UEFA Champions League champions (wow what a strange sentence) will participate. We'll know if it will be Manchester United or Chelsea on Wednesday night.
My only question is: what the hell is the mullah doing in Azadi stadium?
It's less than two weeks left of my assignment now. I am writing a full report of my year and this (if I keep up as I currently am) ten-pages long report will be handed to my successor. I can't believe how one year just disappeared. Six months ago I was dreaming for an exit, a way out of the never ending stress and the conflicts I had to encounter during my work. It's no secret that I have had to fight for my opinions and my methods. I've had to fight for my principles, my way of doing things. I've had to step up and strike at the practice of the Jante law (see posts from late 2007 and early 2008). It feels sad to leave some of my friends behind, because we're all heading in different directions. The social aspects were the highlights of this trip, and of course, the huge amount of knowledge and experience that I've snapped up during this time.
I have a seminar tomorrow and I am not prepared for it. Later on I am going to meet with corporate people from one of the student association's main partners, one of Sweden's (if not northern Europe's) largest banks. An interesting encounter and hopefully also with possibilities to open doors in the future...
