Notes from my journal - The first days in AI

As I keep bringing stuff back home from Rotterdam, I keep reviewing things from the past year. I have found my transition journal. I changed so much since then, and looking back at things, many things went well, others went terribly wrong... In any case... here are my notes from the first transition week.

Day One
Brodie: There is no other room... we are the ultimate responsibles for this organization.
-I have felt the weight of responsibility.

Brodie: All of you are here because you are the best for your position.
-No more wondering. The previous team sets their trust on us.

Rest of week one and week two
*I lost the fear not to have my professional expectations met.
*I get along very well with all my roommates.
*I am slowly getting to know all my teammates. Jeanne, Gabiza, Gee and Amit are clearly my closest friends here. Also Michelle.
*The local jokes and good times with Gee help me through the boring time in the board room.
*I feel motivated and inspired for this year.
*My teammates gave me a nickname. The call me Mo!
*In the end I do have a need for space.
